progress

Here's the piece so far!

It's mixed media.

I've painted and done a printing process with newspaper and mod podge on it so far.

More materials to put come, I'm sure. 

Each canvas is 4 ft tall, 5 in. wide., 2 in. deep. 

I'm taking a lot of notes on the process...but haven't started writing my discussion section yet. 

I think once it's nearly done I can start. 

I biked to the lake today! 

12 miles there and back. 

Great weather for it, but I'm wiped out.

And unfortunately Ben has caught a cold so he won't be running 21 miles this weekend. 

He's preparing to run marathon distance at the end of the month in preparation for an ultra-marathon.

My "spring break" is nearly over...but I will get a spring break from work in April...which will likely feel more like a break. 

And Ben will be spring breaking at that same time!

Good stuff to come!

Hello, readers.

I'm currently on Spring Break.

That doesn't mean much for me these days since I only have 1 day of class a week anyway. 

However, it was nice not to have class this last Monday.

I also still have groups throughout the week...but they've been fun and meaningful thus far, and I'm happy for that.

The weather has FINALLY warmed up here in MKE.

That means Ben is back to outside running, which he loves. 

We're preparing to head over to Freeman for Schmeckfest at the end of March. 

A quick trip, but looking forward to gorging myself on ethnic food. 

The art show goes up in 1 month. 

Almost 2 months until graduation!

Ordered my cap and gown last week. 

We're looking towards July and the move to South Dakota...though I have so much more think about until then. 

I finished building my canvases, as you can see above. 

It was not that easy. 

It was quite tedious and challenging, in fact.

But now it's done and they don't look too bad. 

I'm going to work on them right now.

I'll (try to) keep you updated.

Hopefully you're enjoying some spring-ish weather and best wishes towards the end of your week.
