Thinking About Art






Auggie is now 8 months and my days are very full,
but somehow I am going to find time for some
freelance work. Starting in March will be teaching
an art history class (online).

The history classes I took in architecture school were
always fascinating, and when I went back to get the rest
of my art credits I had an art history teacher that I really
loved. Hopefully teaching will help me remember many of
the details that I have forgotten.

I'll also be doing some scenic painting work on the next
show at UMBC. That should be kind of fun- it is a
large magenta set with some fun wood graining and glazing.

Meanwhile I hope to find some time here and there to
start creating some of my own art again. The above is a
painting I did about 2 years ago.
My professor asked me to submit it to a show.
I did, and it was displayed but unfortunately they lost it (grrr).
I was told it was found and that they were mailing it to me,
but that never happened. I never could
get in touch with anyone about it again.

At least I had the foresight to take a photo of it.
