OMG ROMA

I love working large, it just takes forever with the amount of detail in this composition.  I am guessing it won't be done by the end of next week, more like the end of the one after that if I am lucky.  I love all of the little umbrella trees in the picture - which are really hard to see right now, but trust me they are there.  I found out that they are called Stone Pines and, alas, that they like warmish dry climates not native to my Indianapolis.  No stone pines for Lisa.  

I have applied for a lot of stuff this month.  I recently was rejected for a mural in a Kroger in Greenwood...  Didn't even make it past the first round of cuts. 

I have also applied for the Stutz Residency and the Beckman Emerging Artist Grant.  More chance for failure!  I must be addicted to it because I am not stopping.

Good thing I consider Vincent Van Gogh my spirit animal.  I will not stop art-ing!

Until next Saturday, adios!
