Three finished pieces.

I've finished three drawings in the four weeks I've been at Chautauqua; here are some higher quality images of my work.

Sorry I haven't posted in a while- I had the flu this past week.  I tried to send a few images from my phone but I guess it didn't work.  Above is the drawing I've been working on for about a week and a half.  It's not quite finished- but almost.   I'll post an image of it here when it is done.  I told myself before I came here that I was only going to draw on fabric and clothing so that is what I am doing for the seven weeks I'm here.  And I've been writing everyday.  The writing is really hard for me to do- but I keep doing it because it feels like the very thing that is allowing me to be able to do so much drawing.

Tonight there is an opera here and I am really looking forward to that.  I've been working a lot and was sick and I'm excited to see the opera.

I feel really critical of my drawings; I started working on a second shirt and I'm hating it so much I was thinking of throwing it away.  Then I started thinking- what does this mean?  What does it mean that I want to throw my art away- that I hate it so much, etc.  And it always seems like a metaphor for my mind, my life.  So I'm just going to keep going on the drawing and finish it.
