Waisting time

I should be cleaning - but I'm so not in the mood.

Perhaps exercise?

Nah - tomorrow. There is always tomorrow.

This is how I spent my day today!

Well, I kind of messed up the leave. I didn't like the shadow, it was really bothering me. The colors, the angles etc. Unfortunately the leaf that I used as a model for my painting kind of shriveled up and changed colors so I couldn't use it as a reference any more.

Soooooooooo...I just kind of went crazy on it and added some swirly things. I actually like this version better!

Oh...and sorry about the spelling error on the word "waisting". eh - spelling and grammar aren't my "thing".

The Bean

Actually it's called "Cloud Gate" and is a sculpture by British sculptor (naturally) Anish Kapoor.

The first I ever heard of this was on a painting blog by Karin Jurick (she's on my artist blogs I like to visit on my side bar.

I hope that you can visit her blog to see her paintings of "the Bean" and other paintings. Even though I'm a big fan of my sister's paintings over at Negativespace I also peruse other artists blogs to see what they are doing as well!

Someday I will get back to Chicago with my trusty 35MM SLR camera loaded with black and white film to give you my perspective of "the Bean" and other great Chicago sights!

Until then - pleas check these out: http://karinjurick.blogspot.com/search?q=bean
