With the Midpoint Review at AAU coming up in a few weeks, all of my time as been in writing the proposal and preparing for the presentation. A bit confusing, but I'm getting my act together slowly. Going through two years of classwork was a chore. Some of the work from my earlier classes were damaged and unusable. The paper itself requires a lot of work. I'll be glad when its done.

I've been looking at the Wyeth's recently, especially Andrew's interiors and window scenes. I'm trying to see how I might incorporate some ideas from Andrew's work. My final project, series of paintings, is coming together, albeit slowly. I'm considering creating my own world, a world that combines the earthy "underworld" look of Odd Nerdrum, the metaphors of Andrew Wyeth's countryside, and the allegory of Dante's "Purgatorio", Part 2 of his Divine Comedy. I see these paintings as kind of a "Dante meets Nerdrum meets the Road Warrior and Wyeth on Mars."

A drawing of N.C. Wyeth I did today.
