The Merry Merry Month of March...

Sun Mar 1, 2009, 10:05 PM
...is pretty unmerry. Winter, just leave, ok?

::EDIT::
I've added some photos from the Lipizzaner show. I have a bunch more at the stock account: ~dreamhorseart

Hi again. It's me. Remember me? It's been, what, a month and a half since my last journal post? It's sad really.
As far as art goes, I haven't done anything equine related since the semester started 4 weeks ago. And I'm sure you guys don't want to see gesture drawings and life drawings from my drawing class. If you seem interested, I'll try to get some photos. My professor really seems to like my drawings a lot, so I must be doing something right ;) I find figure drawing really enjoyable. I'm horrible at putting faces on my longer poses though. If I have time to plan out a face, then I'm ok. But I can't just throw one up there. But I really like gesture drawings. It's so free. 1 minute, and it's done. Throw some quick suggestion of muscles in there, and magic! It's a person! And I like our models quite a bit. One is older and has more muscle definition, and the other is younger and more "boyish" so there's a little bit of everything. No women yet though.
Anyway. Enough raving about my drawing class. I also am taking ceramics from the same professor. It's fun too. No finished pieces yet, but I'll photograph them when I finally have glazed pieces.
I joined WetCanvas! about a month ago. I was really into reading everything and participating in the breed a week challenge at the beginning, but I kind of got overtaken by school. It leaves no time for fun drawings. Sad, really.
Um, horse news. Finished out the IHSA season on the 14th. Horrible show really. I placed last. The horse I drew was...strong. I controlled him, but couldn't slow him down. So that was special. Then in the last class of the day, they put a walk-trotter on him, and he totally took off with her, and she fell off really hard. Not surprising really. Bad decision from those in charge.
I went to see the Lipizzaner show a few weeks ago too. It was pretty cool. I have some photos if you're interested. I can also post them to my stock account for your artistic endeavors, if you wish :)
Well, I hope you are all doing well. I answered all my comments, but haven't thanked anyone for favorites in a while. So, thank you all! I really do appreciate every one of them, but in the interest of time, I think I am going to do this joint thanks instead.

Also, is the new deviantArt wonderful enough for a subscription to be worth it? I am debating buying a subscription for myself.

once upOn a time i woke up. i remember all the things i ought to remember. i remember the eerie fact that i so hate remembering things. and so it came to pass that i hate waking up moments. but it doesn't mean i never want to wake up again. fuck life.

Of yellow leaves and gossamer
in autumns that there were,
with morning mist and silver sun
and wind upon my hair.
