Finals fast approaching

This past month has been a whirlwind. It feels like the semester was crawling by, but now time is flying. Between final projects and weekend trips, the students have been very busy. I myself am off to Paris for the weekend. I am of course super excited, but four days out of the studio seems a bit crazy. 

I've been putting in extra hours trying to get ahead before taking off for the weekend. Below is progress on my final painting:

Drawing and Painting

Drawing and painting deadlines are fast approaching, and the ambitious projects that I started semester with are catching up with me. I am animating with charcoal on newsprint and painting two very large oil portraits… and I appreciate any help the universe can give me in finishing these projects on time. The good news? My drawing arm is getting way stronger.
