Short Little Blog

I haven't been keeping up with my blog very well, have I? It's been a quiet 2010 so far.Quiet's okay,I suppose. I am taking a new art class up on campus.It's another painting class. My teacher is big into 'underpainting', a technique used by old masters throughout the centuries, but a new technique to me.It's quite fascinating, and I wished I would have studied it before I went to Italy becauseI would have had another thing to look for in the great paintings we saw there. My teacher's name is Iris Hauser, and I bet she has a website.

Failing

Okay,if you're a compulsive New Years resolution-maker and end up hating yourself for not fulfilling your grandiose commitments to become perfect this year,here's a quote for you:
"Today if you fail,may you fail into grace,a grace that knew you'd need it more than once and isn't sad to see you." John Acuffe. Happy New Year everyone!
