Landscape of Virginia

School is terrific so far, we've only been on the job site one day since last Wednesday, but I am hopeful that it will be useful to our student's job history and future. We are getting things in order for the coming school year, it takes a while to get use to the new pattern of activities but it's coming. I have started a new painting but I haven't been able to find the time to work on it much. I think I put in two sessions of a few hours per session on this new painting. I'm feeling like this will be the last of the Japanese painting series. I can always go back to them later on but I'm finding it more interesting to draw pen and inks from those photos my Dad took in Japan while we live their. Either way I will work with those photos again, but I think I will tackle them with another medium.

We know you want to be one of the one's on the cutting edge , did you get the text message from the Obama camp? It came early in the morning, I heard it was sometime near midnight. Granted everyone wanted to know who the choice for Vice President would be and no doubt there must have been an attentive audience on the edge of their seats when the message was sent out early Saturday morning, I just wasn't one of them. It's a good thing to be using new technology but I think that a little forethought should go into it's usage and not just using it because you can. You've got to put yourself in the place of the person your sending your message to sometime, don't you think?
