Badlands Residency Day 2
Today was a day of set-up and work. I cleaned and prepped my pallette, stretched some paper, and got ready to start a painting. Did some thinking about the exhibit I have planned for next year and evaluating what I want it to look like. Spent a lot of time with my sketchbook, working out design/composition for some potential subjects.
The weather here was lovely from inside. Chilly and crisp wind outside. Coming from winter in the pacific northwest, the glorious sunshine and rich blue sky is most welcome regardless of the temperature. Around lunchtime I looked out my window and saw a group of deer milling about. I do love it here.
Internet is proving to be even more difficult than before. My apartment is a revolving black hole for signal. So far I don't seem to be able to receive or make phone calls, but sometimes I get texts and email on my cell. Tethering up the pc for internet works occasionally, when I hold the phone to the window at just the right angle. Signal still randomly comes and goes, but sometimes will last long enough that I can send something. This is my third and final attempt of the night to successfully upload a blog. Fingers crossed!
