Completed a sketch and then used watercolor. It turned out more saturated than I wished, but all in all I am satisfied.

Today we had four different models and I was especially enamored with both female models, one who had an incredible body and skin, while the other was overweight. I've said many times before, but I really love drawing large women. It makes me very conscious of the effects of gravity.

My favorite drawing of the day.

There are parts of this drawing that I really like, but would still have to work on it more to really like it.

I didn't care for this drawing at first, but it's slowly growing on me.

This is really time consuming, but looks like I have about 1/3 done so far. I need to  find more broken mirrors.

LACMA has expanded in the last few years and was so happy to visit again. My favorite piece of the day was by James Turrell, which is extremely difficult to describe and capture in photography. The viewer must wear booties and enter the oddly-colored room. The end of the room has all corners removed so depth perception is compromised. The experiential installation was phenomenal.

Ginny Bishton
Walking 1, 2004
Photo collage on paper

During daily hikes, Ginny Bishton–who began her Walking series in 1998–used a 35mm camera to document local vegetation, focusing on color and tone. After printing the photographs she organized them into piles based on color, then out of hundreds of small circles several millimeters in diameter. Bishton subsequently glued these minuscule dots onto sheets of paper in color-directed patters, resulting in labor-intensive, vibrant photo collage derived from the artist's observations of her surroundings.

This work was completely inspiring and I would love to create frames with black mirrors.

A Philosopher,1637
Oil on canvas

I haven't seen work by this artist, who I now love. His work reminds me of the style of Rembrandt.
