I am riding along on "the high" wave. Yesterday I went to the Oakland Museum of California again to draw. I sketched the wolverine from 2 angles, from the front and the side. I wasn't happy with the sketches themselves, but I plan to go back to improve and that's what matters. :) Animals look so cool when they show their fangs. I can't wait to go there again to draw the other animals and plants there. They even have 3 pelicans hanging from the ceiling. I love pelicans!
Today I went down to the Hayward Nature Interpretive Center to see Shawn's show. His artwork is just soooooooo amazing. I love looking at them. Good surprises: Zeke, Marina, Kirsten, Ann, and Jenny also came. I haven't talked to them since I left Santa Cruz (except for the very rare emails). Marina's tummy is getting really big :) She said the baby is due next month and it's a boy. How exciting :D
Everyone, including me, left the nature center after 4pm. I thought they were all going to the exhibit at the Oakland Museum for the artists' reception, but when I went there for the reception I only saw Ann, Jenny, and Peter, a year 2000 graduate from the science illustration program. I also talked to a woman named Catherine, who did a watercolor painting of cacti. She was interested in joining the Guild. I need to get the contact info for the northern CA group. A man named Jim (or Jack or some other name starting with a "J"?) stopped me by the entrance and asked if I was an artist and did I have a painting exhibited there. He said he had been watching me while I walked around the exhibit area. Strange? I got the familiar weird feeling that sounds alarms in my head: "danger, danger, get out of there!" So I did. I left to go back to the apartment.
All in all, I'm just happy that I drew yesterday and got to meet old friends today. I'm thinking may be I can apply to the science illustration program for next year. That reminds me though, Ann said the program might be closed down due to budget cut-backs. That would really be sad. She seemed pretty stressed out about it, poor Ann. UCSC, please don't do anything stupid like that! May be I'll write the school a letter on the slim chance that someone would actually read it and care. >:(
