Met with Gerry Snyder, my mentor today. He mentioned Alfred Leslie's abstract paintings. His WHAT? Somehow I just missed out on knowing that Leslie was a fantastic abstract painter -- I only knew his figurative work.
I'm really excited about this. I don't know why yet.
My only goals this week are to figure out a paper topic that I can push out as quickly as possibly (without being awful) so that I can paint. I also want to run since I have signed up for a 5K that happens next weekend.
