One Final Left...

My last final project is due in a few hours. That's why I'm up at 1:30 am, posting things to craigslist and putting the finishing touches on the stoop sale website (I'll add more stuff tomorrow).

Here is part of my final rendering project for my colored pencil drawing class. The assignment was to take a previous project and render it in colored pencil, using a painting as inspiration for colors and composition. I started with my benta plate prototypes from 2007:
Referenced Wary Meyers' Painting, "Lobsters Playing," for color and composition:

and ended up with this:

As a bonus, I accidentally dressed to match my assignment, something that the jurors did not let go unnoticed:


I really loved this drawing class. Working with colored pencils was challenging and humbling, and my favorite part (and what I'm hoping to continue doing) was keeping a sketchbook of drawings and color exercises.

My final Revit project is due tomorrow. After that, the fun starts - stoop sale on Saturday, 1/2 marathon on Sunday, then in the following two weeks we'll pack up the house, move across town, have dinner with friends, road-trip to Durango, and take a quick trip to Tucson to visit some friends. All before the end of May!

Oh! Tonight I won a $100 loaded credit card in a raffle at the Modern in Denver party at DWR! So now I'm debating what to splurge on. Suggestions?
