May 17th through 23rd

I pulled an old acrylic painting that I made in 2nd year art school off of its stretcher to use for my next painting, only to find that the stretcher was warped. A frustrating discovery. Especially on the heels of the You-Lost-Your-Staple-Gun-Again purchase.

I bumbled around my house looking for something to draw. I opened cupboards and drawers, watching for a little still life to appear, something with character. This time I elected to sketch something that is not normally appealing to me. Products that have modern packaging are not romantic enough to light up on my radar. There is not enough history with them, no real connection to my past - well not yet.
