Day 2, "Misse and Luttine"

One month later, day 2 on this copy. My goal for today was just to cover all the white canvas. I tried to get the color and value right. Worked on it for about 2 hours and got to this point, where all the white was covered. Then I went to lunch.

The museum was very crowded today with lots of school groups coming into my room. Of course they were all fascinated with the copyist. I concentrated as best as I could, while being just as pleasant to everyone as I needed to be. I felt very out of practice, but it was still good to be there.

After I ate a nice, leisurely lunch, I decided to walk around the East Building.

It's always wonderful in there when the sun is out!

It's great to see the big Calder mobile up close

Such a gorgeous space

A Diebenkorn!!!

Another Diebenkorn!!!

After tramping around the East Building, I returned to my copy, and decided that I just didn't have the energy to paint anymore, so I cleaned up and left.

I had to take this picture of the Hirshhorn Museum, where I interned when I was in college.

It was a cold, windy day, but the sun was out. The Hirshhorn again.

I sketched the people waiting for the train home. Cold and windy! I'll be back in two weeks, hopefully it will be warmer by then.
