I've been ill the past few weeks so I don't have too much to share.

Fourth of July weekend I went to Williamsburg to celebrate with my boyfriend. We had a cookout with friends as well!

Several weeks ago I started a Sunday afternoon figure drawing class through the Smithsonian, taught by Max-Karl Winkler, who shows his prints at Washington Printmaker's Gallery.  I've gotten to explore the Freer Sackler Galleries of Art and the International Gallery at the S. Dillon Ripley Center. I could could lose myself in the Whistler Nocturne Paintings.

The weekend after I attended my first wedding (outside of my family) for one of my roomates.


The Wedding Cake at my roomate's wedding!

The Wedding was on a farm next door to these cows!
 My boyfriend's birthday was also this past weekend and I went to visit him and celebrate! When there I got to go to Water Country USA for the first time! That is no park for wimps. 
Screenprinted Shirt for my boyfriend.
The ink squirted under the stencil, 
but then I traced with gold screenprint ink so its still snazzy

Anyway, I hope to start more art projects soon. I managed to read Franz Kafka's The Metamorphasis, and I started reading Wilkie Collin's The Moonstone. I've watched and fell in love with a BBC series named Lark Rise to Candleford, and I'm currently watching Bleak House (2005).  I've also watched another season of How I Met Your Mother and several Art 21 episodes.
