About to start 3rd residency. This program seems to be going by quickly. It's been a busy month with the end of school and finishing up odds and ends for the residency. I was able to catch a few shows the painting work of Antonio Lopez Garcia at the MFA was wonderful. While his landscapes of Madrid are beautiful I was more interested in his interior drawings and paintings as well as the subtleties in his work. The PRC juried show had some nice work as well as the color camera obscura images by Abe Morell. Now I'm just excited to start the next residency and get some more feedback. I really loved the following quote by Antonio Lopez Garcia

"I'm not attracted to paintings that are born consciously related to past works, but to paint a still life of food inevitably calls to mind Velazquez or Caravaggio...I ask myself, why aren't there more paintings of commonplace subjects, if, for example we all come together around a table, three times each day, to eat."
