sky practice

yesterday evening, there was a very pretty sky outside my window at work, and i was without a camera. this situation turned into painting practice...

found object

i was doing my laundry last night, half asleep, and in my haze, found a MIRROR in the 'free' pile in the laundry room, next to some giant christmas lights. i snatched it and took it home with me five floors up the stairs. i'm so excited. it's oblong, 2 feet long, gold trim, real big, heavy. for some reason, i have constrained myself to using a 8 inch round mirror, and never thought to buying a bigger one (same thing with my stereo system which i've had since age 14.. it's worked fine.. why get a fancier one?)

this will be the beginning of many long nights of staring at myself.
