I swear, painting is so damn hard. Seems like the more I learn, the more I realize just how damn hard it is. I just spent all evening and half the night painting a self portrait. It was rough. I am n ot pleased with the results, but I know I learned at least a little bit of somethin'. This summer I want to paint every day. Anyone out there who is interested in being painted or want to hire me to do a painting for them let me know. I think I'll use the goldfarb money to rent out a studio
