Neah Bay

Tide pools and hikes. I took these a few years ago, and I really like them. I was really into bright colors and texture! Look at them big. Nature rules.

Sandy Shields. She is a very good old friend. I took this picture when I was 16 or 17.

It's one of my favorite kinds of afternoons. I'm alone, slightly hungover, and the view from my apartment's living room window is snowy and the road isn't so busy. The lamp has a nice soft yellow light and I'm listening to Édith Piaf. I'm thinking about painting -- not particularily because I have something in mind to paint, but because I believe a tripod easel with a work in progress on it would look pretty nice in my apartment. By the window, next to the couch, by the wooden chair.

Let me show you some sketches

Abandoned Project #1: Project Whoa

A series of pictures taken from weird angles to make things look more chaotic than they are.

Abandoned Project #2: Still lifes from my current life

It seems I always see the same things.

It's currently the middle of January. This is the time that the seasonal affect disorder sets in. For me. I'm glad it hasn't taken the holidays.

Keep practicing

Well, I need to work on my portraits. Aunt Susy looks far older and angular and less awkward and young than she should.

Paint can be a useful tool.

This is a diagram I made last year for a possible change in my bedroom set up. I decided against it.

Using the same method, I made a diagram for the living room change I've been thinking of making. After reviewing this diagram, I've decided against it.

I also made this diagram for my current bedroom. I am unsure if that blue dresser will fit on that side of the wall. Also, the table might look out of place. I think I will keep things as they are.
