Vermont, etc.

I have been M.I.A. recently, mainly due to the fact that I have three jobs now and I have been working really hard interning for an artist representative, Suzanne Schultz.

The lovely Suzanne in all her glory.

However, I have been slaving away in my art studio when I can. I even had a Territorial-like trip to Home Depot at the edge of Somerville and Boston which reminded me a little too much of the trauma of Leroy Merlin in Paris(shudder). Then after returning home to find that my crossbar was half a centimeter too short I sawed it myself like I should have to begin with. Then I stretched my canvas and despite my cautionary past experiences, still managed to skin one of my knuckles.

But, the painting has begun!

I also went to Ludlow, Vermont a few weeks ago and of course I took advantage of the scenery (and Cara's hot tub).

Friday night, 4th night in a row after starting the oils on Tuesday

In the meantime, I couldn't help but make a disturbing self-portrait.
