I admit that the theme of my residency has not exactly "panned" out the way I planned it to. As you all know (if you took a gander at my previous blog) my intent was to work on my series The Aesthetics of Murder a Series - Based the Short Stories and Poetry of Edgar Allen Poe. As it turns out all I can paint are fecking flowers (to be fair I decided to brush up on my art technique with some still life's, I just didn't know I would enjoy it so much) Yes a bouquet of flowers done in 20 different ways!
I guess I have to go with it, sheesh!!
I have made some headway on the series and had a wonderful studio visit from Monique Mouton my mentor at the thematic residency. Our group of 9 is getting along nicely and we have a critique night as well as a pot luck on Thursday evening. We had a wicked thanksgiving pancake breakfast yum!!

The mouse hole on my door... |
Update on my stay: A mouse crawled on my head. A mouse came at Maja, she stepped on it with her boot. Ben made a mouse trap with a bucket and some peanut butter. I argued that the Mouse trap was inhuman. I stuffed my mouse hole with a squirrel tail that I found on my run. I hoped that mice were territorial.
Love always,
Brandi
