Still painting. I took a picture of my progress thus far, excuse the crappy quality, on my phone. So here it is.





It's coming along okay, but I have a lot of work left to do. And I have no idea what I want to do with the background...I will most likely be asking about that in the critique.






I was also looking at the nook I want for my exhibit...the ceilings are actually pretty low, but I think that could work to my advantage to create the feeling of a more enclosed space. I'll probably be thinking about how I could utilize the space and bookshelf designs this weekend...

On a semi-related note, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows has come out tonight, and I am quite excited! Those books have been a major inspiration for me since I was 11, and I don't think it's a stretch to say that they've inspired my entire generation as well, not to mention that the series is likely the reason that most people my age read at all. Really, they're probably a big part of the reason I became interested in doing art at all; illustrating the books and drawing the characters when I was younger made me realize that art was something I enjoyed and wanted to do for the rest of my life. So horray for Harry Potter!
