Another Monday…

In the studio

Study for Homage to the Square Joseph Albers

The sky is gray today and so are the clothes of many people…including me.

I’m taking a landscape painting class this semester and having some fun playing with watercolor again.  This morning I went to a park nearby my apartment to paint and had the company of this old duck.  This guy was fearless; he just kept staring at me and walking in circles around me for the hour I was at the park.  He must of thought I had food and that if he waited me out long enough I would cave.  Sorry duck…no food, just paint.

Today I read that Joseph Albers was an elementary school teacher for 12 years before he was the assistant director at the Bauhaus and a professor at Yale (and an artist with work in most of the significant museums in the world).

The cool fall breeze is settling in, and I whipped out the fleece hoody for the occasion.  And let me tell you, fleece is hot in Michigan.  Everyone rocks it.
