This week found me doing a lot of academic work. Finishing up a rough draft of my first research paper on Orientalism, starting my next paper on Surrealism, and setting up a meeting with my mentor Christine Willcox from Macalester College in St. Paul.
This first work I finished up this week.

I'm going to try and keep up some of the reproductions. This next one is a start on a Edward Hopper. An artist that several critiquers suggested I look at.

This next one is the larger landscape I've been working on for the last few weeks. The figure is inspired by one of Hannah Barrett's double-figure images, although this one turned out to more of a conjoined twin look. Not done with this work yet.

Two new landscapes. Trying to "block out" spaces ahead of time. Also trying to premix colors a bit to avoid surprises on the canvas.

This next one is another look at a classic, but I started deviating. I was looking at the color in Caspar David Freidrich's "Monk by the Sea."
