Golden-Fronted Woodpecker
Outside my window sits the Golden-Fronted Woodpecker demolishing half a grapefruit … it is not time for the grapefruits to get big and ripen so he is delighted with my store-purchased fruit which I stuck to the tree 2 feet from The Winter Palace. The hummingbird feeder is also receiving a steady stream of visitors. Now to drive to class …
Drawing 3 with Prof. Jerry Lyles ! It sounds exciting as he plans on outside excursions all semester … we will draw some of the hidden places on this campus. Later I am to meet with Prof. Karen Sanders and get a studio key and have a room of my own! However … it develops that her plane from the east is delayed by Hurricane Irene and Prof. Donna Sweigert meets us and tells us we all have to share a studio. Disappointment! My share-mate is Adrianna Salecedo and she has been using the studio all summer. She is not present tonight … can’t meet her. I open the door hesitantly and … it is SMALL … and filled with her pottery equipment already … I must squeeze in somehow …. Guess I will paint her ceramic sculpture … which is curious and may make a unique painting! Tomorrow !!
