Me and PGT

The semester is winding down.

As winding to an end: Tomorrow is the last day of classes.  Just some grading to do after that!

And then. 4 weeks. of me and PGT time: QT with MP and PGT.  I cannot wait.  I am looking forward to finding answers, growing stronger, focusing. Getting right.

I spent a little time drawing and painting today.  Experimenting.  I used watercolor, graphite, gold leaf and gouache.

Any artists out there ever have one of those, "well shit, I should have stopped earlier.  I'm just going to have to plow ahead and see if I can pull this one out of the can" moments?  I had that when I started adding the gold leaf.  And though gold leaf is inherently lovely, there was some watercolor magic under there that kinda regret covering up.  OH well.

As much as I wish I hadn't done that one thing in the illustration, I always remind my students (and myself!) is that even if you "mess it up" or erase something you did it once therefore you can do it again.  Let go. Give up control. And maybe it will be better.
