Only two things that money can't buy...

"...and that's true love and homegrown tomatoes."

I can't believe it's already midterms. I guess it's because we are on the quarter system at SCAD, but man, the time just flies by. Before I realize it, I will have graduated and be trying to enter the professional world! Scary! But exciting.
I just got back my first assignment in Drawing III and thought I would post it here.



The assignment was to cut/tear a 22"X30' paper into two 11"X30" and make two drawings of the same subject matter, one vertically formated, one horizontal. I think the vertical one is much more successful. I used china marker, which was a new material to me. We could draw anything we wanted and I was very boring and drew my plants on my front porch.
Speaking of plants... this is maybe unrelated to art endeavors, but I have attempted to start a patio garden. I'm mostly growing herbs, and I have a tomato plant and two pepper plants. I didn't know how well the veggies would do in pots. I came back into town on sunday and to my great surprise...

I have some baby tomatoes! I can't believe I haven't killed it and it might actually produce fruit.
I know, my life is so exciting.
My peppers have been growing really slowly, and I haven't really expected much of them, but while I was admiring my teeny tiny tomato, I saw this lil' guy:

A bloom! So maybe I will have peppers. But maybe not.

I have more jewelry, and I think I'll be able to start selling this weekend! I'll post more about that later though, because I really need to do some homeworks.
Lots and lots of homeworks.
Hasta.
