(A random note stuck here only makes sense when I am this tired. The red top in the RUTHIE AD is a painting shirt besides being red......... that is all.)
I messed up chalk. But what I am going to do is paint over it in white, let the color bleed through and paint on top. It just got too busy with too much color. It is fine because the original art work was covered over and over. That was the inspiration.
I worked on Cassie a little bit and I think I am almost done. The divorce is done except the leaves on the plant. I like it more and more and I like the idea of trying to make something beautiful out of trash. That is what I am trying to do with my life, take the garbage that has been thrown my way and turn it into something beautiful. I was walking the art piece through the campus and I girl called out to me from across the parking lot, “hey that is beautiful.” That was very nice. I like that about UTD. People will stop and look at your art and comment.
I will be starting on the monkey painting. It is large 48 x 36 and it had three figures and I am adding text. SO I am over achieving, showing off. I will be finishing up Emily who is the same size.
The stretcher canvas in its box on the dining room table and maybe it will start to come together this weekend.
I am supposed to go to an art exhbit with Carolen. She is letting me pick it out, so I need to get with it and arrange that!
Like I am not busy. But I just felt like I needed to see art and then Carolen asked me to go with her for Humanities class.
We talked about the stained glass and how connected her family is to it, but they are gone too. I am banned from it. That is still amazing to me. I don’t think that is God’s will. It just seems wrong to ban an artist from their art. The reason? You explain it to me. I don’t honestly know.

Chalk before I messed it up.
