Real Progress

Yeaaaaa! Only a bit of rewriting/rewording to do on the discussion section, submit the whole damn thing, hold my breath and then the thesis will finally be over. The weird thing is that with all my bitching and moaning through the process (section by section), I think I could do it again without too much trouble. NO, I’m not going to continue my education.

What are you going to do?

Start a new painting. I haven’t done any painting since August and I’m so looking forward to it. I’ve been holding onto a gift certificate to an art supply store since Christmas. Tomorrow I’ll go and cash it in on some new paint and brushes. The painting that’s been floating around in my head for about two months is a blow up of the inside of a red pepper.

A red pepper?

My mother came for dinner in early March and she brought me a large red pepper. The next afternoon I wanted to put some pepper in the soup I was making. Instead of cutting it in half and scooping out the insides, I just cut a fair sized piece out of it and left it with that opening. The colors, patterns, texture, seeds were truly amazing.
