I don't like to dwell on what I'm giving up for a couple of reasons, one it makes the temptation all the more powerful and it seems like a waste of energy. But.. today I'll give in and write about what I miss. Today is especially hard. I'm having some downtime and it seems like I want to pop in and say Hi to some friends of mine. But I'm not. Yesterday and Sunday I wanted to take photos and post them. I use Facebook a lot but hey I'm not thinking about it a lot, mostly.
Why does today feel different?  I'm not feeling well, so I am staying home until my job interview.  I feel busier here then I do at school,  I'm constantly running after the dog, laundry is getting done, the dishes are mostly done, other cleaning still needs to get done. And it will just not at this moment. I'm dozing off. At the computer.
Another load is in the washer and the floor has been swept. I have to finish paper for my printmaking class in which we had to go to an exhibit do three sketches and write about a print that stroke us. The print I choose was called the Modell by Rolf Nesch. It's from 1929. He's considered a Norwegian artist but born in Germany. He moved to Norway when Hitler came into power. The print is captivating, well the expression is. She looks angry and annoyed. She is sort of hunched and her eyes are looking down. The pools of shadow, created by aquatint around here eyes help capture attitude. The print being shown is a called a state, which is a series of artist proofs. When we have a state we are just checking what the print looks like and how we can improve it.
