gracenmichelle: kotobukichop: (via cypriots) NOM. ART. I have my beginner’s oil painting class today. Wish the easel (we use a glass plate actually) was as delicious looking as this. I’m painting trying to paint Rembrandt’s Jan Six. Oh my. Thoughts: It is always a rush to get to the class on time. It’s only two stops over the L at 3rd Ward but I still find myself rushing to get there. It didn’t help that I had important things for work to do. A shop down the block was closing its business and the man was selling everything on the cheap. I bought a Coke and two Waters for TWO dollars! Made me happy. Jan Six is coming along well, except he does seem to be a bit hollow. I think he would need a few more layers for me to get him looking more realistic, but we just don’t have the time. I hope to give myself a few hours every weekend to continue practicing. I even dreamt up renting an apartment and having a easel in the corner with a nice old side table for my equipment. That would be really lovely. When I got home, I made an important call and then was so exhausted with nerves after that I stripped off into my underwear, got under the covers and hid from the world and only reemerged to watch Independence Day and eat left over spaghetti and a Hershey bar. When I grow up I want to be either cake or Jeff Goldblum. Highlights: class coke Jeff Goldblum’s subtle and oh so gorgeous change of expression at one particular moment before he gets on the alien ship <3
