old film

true love...

I got some black and white film developed recently. It reminded me how much fun I had in September.

Most of those, as always, are on my flickr.

All my classes are going well. Hopefully soon I'll have good pictures of the paintings and sculptures I've been doing.

'Evening Mood'

Based on another of Bouguereau's paintings.

my copy so far:

unfortunate my scanner is too small to show the birds.

2810

lovers singing soft

muted under sheets of snow

this winter of solitude has come

the moon looks down at me

as I look for you

no one is here

no one is here

if I have to lie alone

let me fall asleep

these eyes lie vacant

but your dream is full

you can't see me

I watch this fire burn in your name

I'm seeing flames

I'm seeing flames

burn in me

if I have to lie alone

let me fall asleep

I hear myself singing in a different room

a different time

another voice holds on to mine

I'll rest in the faint harmonic.

I'll rest.

many things.

lots and lots and lots of bears.

BIG VERSIONS

I got my hair lightened today. Unfortunately it came out very different from what I originally wanted but I guess it doesn't really matter.

also my creative thinking is shown at it's best in this video I made for Ashley earlier.

My art classes have started. Oil painting on Sunday mornings, Life Drawing on Monday nights and Sculpting on Friday afternoons. I'm looking forward to be really good at everything ever.
