Wow. What a day.
So first of all, I’ve been leading things off with “Wow” quite a bit lately. I’ve also decided that using the words “a bit” instead of “a lot” seems to make the most sense and doesn’t offend people as much. People are just so easily offended these days.
Wow.
Today was a day for me to reorganize. Not in a physical way (my room is still very much a mess and my bills have yet to receive payment), but more in a regroup the brain and - I’m sorry, there’s some freaking annoying scraping noise happening outside my window and I’m completely distracted, so my thoughts are lost.
I painted today. My incredible professor lent me a book on relearning the techniques of the Old Masters. I’m talking Da Vinci, Rembrandt, and Ingres; not Couples, Nicklaus, or Mickelson. So, I’ve just been poring through the pages, drinking in the fantastic paintings, and trying to apply the techniques to my own paintings. Today was my approach to a still life. I’ll hopefully have something nice to show for it in the end. My brother’s wife just got a promotion which included a personal office, so they want me to paint something for it. I feel like a still life is the way to go.
I need to do laundry. I need a robot.
So, as you can see I’ve begun blogging again. At this point only one person will read this and that’s a maybe, so hopefully I will gain more readers in the future. I mean, come on, it’s inevitable. I’ll cut it short. This day wasn’t really all that spectacular. This Friday there’s a party at my buddies place, so that’ll be a little more on the spectacular side of things. A bit, anyways.
