It turns out that the opening at Brooklyn Artist Gym (BAG) was for next Saturday, not last night.   I painted (though I was looking forward to a large show) anyway, though the studio was empty and hot (the first is good, the second, not so good).

Also, the interview with Marsha Wooley should happen sometime today.

In case your wondering what the circular objects in the right of my oil pastel sketch are – it’s actually a mirror that was used as a painting palette, which some remains of burnt umbers and light blues stuck to the mirror.   The only mirror I could find in the studio is this mirror – palatte; I borrowed it (from whomever’s palatte it is) and managed to do the self portrait, above, and My Segmented Self portrait last weekend.  Maybe that’s enough self portraits for a while.

I copied the shapes and was thinking the round shapes could also serve as visitor segmentations in Web Analytics – or in my sketch – as roundish areas of colors that represent ny feelings – or whatever.  

While I would have loved to have gotten the actual crusty paint on the mirror I was looking into, somehow, it did not seem that important – or I would have done it.  

The area in the lower right is really a cabinet where art supplies are stored – I just sketched it in, for variety in textures – that’s all; I spent about two or three hours on this and had enough of it.  Feeling explored – feeling done – onto the next thing.
