Blessing

It is a blessing to be able to paint at home, even though I know after the sun comes out, I'll be screaming. It's the first time I work on my painting assignment at home, and it felt very very good. The following photograph almost persuaded me to become a fine artist.


Painting is so fun!!!!!! Thanks to all the people who gave me advice/guidance with regard to my last post. I have long forgotten the joy of just being able to draw and paint, and been stressed over how to get better fast too much. Ah, what an idiot. I just sketched at BART over the weekend for the first time. It was refreshing and liberating.

Anyway, here are some clothed figures, something I constantly struggle with.


One huge head...

Meet my son, Chow, hence the full name Chow Chow. Taken before our class at Sutter.

Ms, Carmen. Great stuff, as always. You have mad skills. Don't stress too much about getting better. I know we all do it, but the mere process of drawing and painting is time spent getting better. It's happening during those long, delirious in front of the canvas.

And I agree with Mike, where's the advanced Persp??

If you ever decide to be a fineartist, you know you have my support. I always saw you as more of a fine artist anyway.

And ignoring what you just said, post up the adv. persp stuff. now. or i'll go to your house again just to look at it.
