I have been so incredibly busy with school, I have hardly had a chance to get on the computer to do much more than homework! I have such a busy schedule, I go to school from Monday to Thursday from 9 to 4 everyday. Then I get home and have to do homework. I can’t even begin to explain how horribly messy my home is right now.
This is the most recent work I completed in my painting class. The assignment was to bring in a white object and paint it using only white and black. All I could find around the house that was white were plates. I didn’t think that would make for a very interesting piece, so I went to the thrift store. I found this little owl statue, and brought it home and painted it white. I am semi pleased with how it turned out.
Everything I make turns out so cartoon-y looking! This weekend I have to finish up another black and white painting for class, so expect to see another one up in a day or two or three.
Last weekend Russ and I went with my dad over to the house that he is in the process of buying. It is out in the country, on a huge plot of land. He has a small rosemary plant right outside his front door. While we were watering we saw this monster! I have never seen a grasshopper this big in San Diego!

Ohhh, I really love your owls. Coincidentally I had owls in my dreams last night!
I don’t think its cartoon-y at all. It has a very cool retro/kitsch aspect.
