Hi Friend and Family,

Wow I am back In classes....my 2D class is too cool!  My painting class seems like a session in stenciling so far....but we will see...will have pics after I show the teachers.  Been working really hard on the 2D stuff.

Progress of Winter Break Project 1

     While speaking with a friend the other day I was told all you can see is a large blank piece of paper on my current project.  They stated it would be nice to be able to watch the picture as it developes.  Here are photos I took this morning to bring everyone up to speed.  So far there are 102 circles in this picture and I am working on the shading in those circles ( I always like to tackle the most complicated aspect of a piece first to get it out of the way. )  Just a quick tip for anyone that works in graphite or charcoal.  I always keep a scrap peice of paper under my hand while working so I do not smudge the work I have already completed.  This saves on the clean up process at the end considerably.
