I bought one of Allison’s photos of Chris at her art yard sale (yart sale?). Slowly my living room wall coming together. I want to re-ink some of my old painting and definitely re-mat it with another color.

I have finished my summer session class. It was a quick five weeks of painting 5 different paintings and I didn’t quite finish my painting of the Eugene Atget photo, but I got close enough to turn it in and while going through critique I think I might have figured out a way to do…

Finished my painting of the underground market finally. I went and got some prints of my last watercolor picture that I finished and while signing and numbering over at Bernice’s the people next to me bought a print. First print sold. I pushed myself to finish this underground market painting so that I can get…

I’m already covering the walls in…

Drinking wine all afternoon working on my final for my summer painting class. An intersection in Paris in 1910 referenced and provided by Eugene Atget. I still need to sketch in the other side before continuing the undercoat, but I was getting impatient and wanted some definition to all the lines I have been putting…

Went to another house show at Spruce Street but had to leave early at midnight to make it home in any kind of timely manner seeing as how from there it is about a full hour just to walk down to my place. The nights are getting nicer for being out, but yet I find…

Capitol Hill.

While in Seattle we went by Golden Gardens. Stephanie had said that she had never been to the ocean. This wasn’t really the ocean but still somewhat closer than anything she would have seen in Montana. I love how this section of the city has become so overrun with life and plants. An easy escape…
