Crit

I would like to do my crit at any time tomorrow. 

I can't believe we missed this

this event would have been great as a class trip.
oh well, please check out the description of what artist mark bradford is up to at the MCA this month.

next reading

The next reading will be two selections/chapters from Richard Sennett's The Craftsman:
"The Troubled Craftsman," and "The Hand".
Since these require me having physical copies made, we will begin these next week,
no reading this weekend. Just lots of art making.
Please check out Sennett's website to get a sense of who he is, as well as the context of the recent book.

As a inaugural exercise and because I'm finished already with my painting, I would like to have a brief critique on Monday 9/27 at 1:30 pm. Thanks in advance for all of your comments.
