Prelude 12" x 12" oil on canvas 2015
It's only been a week, but I already feel surprisingly at home here. My studio is set up; I've been to figure drawing at the Manifest Drawing Center twice, and I'm (slowly) starting to shake the rust that has accumulated on my figure skills from a year of disuse. I have gesso drying on newly stretched canvases, and I even finished this little baby painting yesterday. If the past week is any indication of how this residency is going to go, it will be an amazing year.
This week I met my fellow artist in residence, Marina Fridman. Her work is stellar and I am so excited to share this space with her. I think our work is going to grow alongside each others in very interesting ways. Be sure to check out her website here: www.marinafridman.com
Some of my studio inspiration... these postcards have been in every studio I've kept since college. Why break tradition?
A good portion of Saturday was devoted to the usual prep work...
... and the first of many sketches in a brand new sketchbook. This is the view from one of the windows in my studio. All in all, not bad for the first week. =) Stay tuned - much more to come!
