highland

dear highland masking tape,
is this weather going to come to an end? more importantly, is this humidity going to come to an end?
yeah, that's what i look like. but thanks to rab's hat, all is well. painting has been going well. after crying about it, i'm back on track. i went from painting this...
to this...

i went from landscapes to figures. hahah, kidding. yeah....maybe emile zola is hot. maybe i do have a crush on a french novelist in an edouard manet painting. and maybe the guy on the right in edouard manet's Le dejeuner seur le'herbe is really hot. yeah, he's not even facing the viewer. so, i crush on people who are long gone or non-existant. ITS NOT EVEN BIG DEAL!!!

youtube videos of the kings of leon make me forget about things....

my favorite moment of the past few days was watching the purple and red sunset from the studio while listening to joanna newsome's "this side of the blue." she would. give her a listen. it's so satisfying listening to a woman's voice. it's about damn time a woman make cool music (personal opinion, of course). well, that's all i feel like sharing for now.
