New show is up at Fernwood Resort.  First exhibition in nearly 10 years for me.  Life drawing class ended yesterday with a final "one on one" critique.  This class was a wonderful experience for me.  I learned a new type of drawing, battled my ego and won, did a successful self portrait from life (for the first time), was inspired to persue a whole new avenue of work, and most importantly got my confidence back.  Sadly/fortunately last month there where no requests for the bestowal....however, since I considered it my most successful figure gesture ever, I gave it to my professor Adrianno as a think you gift.  So I guess it all worked out the way it should have.  Today I wrote up the first draft on my application to Ceres gallery and actually just sent it to Adrianno for feedback.  He really has been an invaluable help to me.  Started looking into drawings and paintings of Prud'hon at his suggestion.  I may even start to work up some painted portraits in addition to the reductive drawings.  When I think about it, the new work isn't really all that different, it's still introspective, still communicates feeling and is still really about the human bond.  Thanks Adrianno.
