Chuck Close, and the Seventies


Okay... So this is the finished project. Well... Finished for now. 
Oil paints, 50x45 (ish)



Here is some perspective for those of you bad with dimensions... 
That's my kitchen table in the background, and it is leaning against our TV...
So big. But so fun! Oh. And that's the picture I worked off... don't tell my Dad I put this on here...

Okay. More on Italy... I'm leaving in eight days! And I'll be there for a year. Goodness knows how I am going to survive... Hopefully I swim rather than sink. I am so looking forward to being around all of the beautiful architecture and art and culture and just drawing everything in sight... I'll be attending the Accademia delli belli arti in Bologna.

Wish me luck!

So this is what I've been doing...

And as the school year draws to a close... you'll be seeing a flood of updates! Oh yeah. Have I mentioned I'm going to Italy? Yeah. I'm going to Italy. In three weeks. For a year. WHAT. More on that later...

... and this is my little child... Well. Not so little. 40X50. Yeah.


NOTE: This is a crappy photobooth shot = a mirror image. I'll take one with a "real" camera soon! Promise!


This is probably the more appropriate response for the moment. SO MUCH TIME IN THE STUDIO. Gahah. And SO HUNGRY. Also. As you can tell I am not done yet. Forty minutes prior to me writing this (and many hours since I took this photo) I caught the last bus back from school with only an earlobe to finish. Woo!

PS: Chuck Close inspired. He's a cool guy. Look him up!
