magicbeans. nothing if not awkward.

after staying up too late last night (surprise, surprise) i had to get up early this morning for painting. but it was cool. i started my landscape which i was gonna do from a photograph (i went digging through old photos from china and various cross-country trips), but it was breezy and beautiful outside, so i decided i had to work from the real world. the museum that my class is at is a city or state park or something, so there's a number of scenic paths and sculpture and stuff. and i found this little shaded patio with an ornate concrete railing that leads nowhere. i'm doing a painting across two 12x12 inch canvases, sorta in two point perspective. the preliminary sketch i did today looks really neat. have to wait to see whether it will still look good with paint on it.

had my philosophy class tonight. as i predicted i didn't really get anything done for it over the weekend. some reading, but no writing. of course i don't really have any choice now except to finish everything. i'm sure i'll pull it off. i always seem to.
