Why Not?

More sketches from the past few days:

Possibilities:

I've decided to stop putting my life in a box---to scrap "the plan" and be open to other paths instead of the one I feel, most times, like I must follow because of financial obligations or personal limitations which don't actually exist. I feel like I've made this list before...maybe only in my head.

-intern at NYC MOMA for a season (assuming I apply & get accepted)

-go to graduate school to get my MFA in painting and drawing (assuming the same thing)

-enroll in the teacher certification program at M Body so that I can teach yoga

-move to Austin and do the yoga TCP @ the baptiste affiliate studio there instead of here; look into UT's MFA program

-move to NYC to teach yoga at a baptiste affiliate studio (they actually have an instructor position open)

-finish my 3rd yr. of teaching art to get my professional teaching certificate, making it easier to get a teaching job elsewhere

-go back to school and get my doctorate in physical therapy (hello, 5 yrs. of school)

-become a full-time artist traveling and selling work at various art expos/festivals

-do something in botany

-look into film school

More & More Sketches

I suppose these are from lastest to oldest. Not to say that these are "finished", but some of these look half done because people moved while I was drawing them (how dare they!). I like doing contour drawing, but it's difficult to do in a public setting because I'm not paying these people to model for me :) They could move at any instant. This is why gesture drawing is more ideal in those situations.

I think I've mentioned before that drawing out in public reminds me of my trip to Venice, Italy: people come behind you and peer over your shoulder without saying a word. People's reactions are interesting and sometimes peculiar. I especially love when people say things like, "Hey, I have this photo of me and my dog. Can you draw it?"

Anyways, more later.

ps-apologies for the crappy photo quality of these sketches.
