30-something - getting close to 40-something; full-time mom, part-time art student at RISD; trying to live simply & cut down on the clutter/excesses of life (esp. toys!); constantly trying to enrich my life & become a better and more interesting person. Oh, and this bug is a spitting ground beetle, scientific name: calosoma auropunctatum, that I painted in a class at RISD. I love bugs.
This is the first painting I've done since finding out I was pregnant. I have been so nauseated and tired, plus my babysitter was unavailable for almost a month. Now she's back and hopefully so am I!
It's funny how seeing a scan of my work brings all the little flaws to my attention. I thought I was done with this, but see some changes that need to be made.
