Update

Just a little update:

art: I have been very busy and have not, unfortuneately been creating daily paintings. I have a couple of shows coming up in the spring. I have to finish some pieces and frame them. I also have a few commissioned projects that I have been working on. Needless to say, they are taking much longer than expected!

architecture: This week I got all of my paperwork completed for my IDP. That means I can take the test. When, I don't know, but I am excited about it. I am finding that developing this building is stressful. It is still the same situation: sit and do nothing, then "we need it tomorrow." If anyone has tips on how to get around that, let me know! And please don't mention the phrase "time management."

N & J with Plant




11 x 14, graphite with colored pencil

I had this idea to incorporate the plant. With the watercolor composition, it felt like the plant was too spiky for the softness of the medium.

art: I am working on a composite portrait with 5 children. They will be done in graphite and colored pencil, but I am at a loss for the theme of the background. I need to think about ways to experiment with the background once I have the graphite complete.
architecture: Coordinating development and interior design is new to me. It feels a little like we are winging it, but it isn't rocket science! It might become more difficult when we give the interiors people our bloody sheets of mark-ups...
