#reflection
The finished sketch from this afternoon. I started reading Color and Light by @jamesgurneyart to try and help me conquer tricky colors. Feels like and uphill battle right now but I know if I stick with it things will eventually click! This still life is trickier than it looks because you are dealing both with reflections and white/off white in shadow. I think when i started out painting years ago my values were very desaturated and monochromatic. Now i feel like im over compensating with slightly over chromatic colors. One day I will find the balence!
First picture is my painting in the sun, second is in the shade, third is value only, and fourth is the reference I was painting from.

Your greatest test will be how you handle people who mishandled you.
Total Internal Reflection with a laser and a wine glass
A wine glass and a laser pointer make for a great demonstration for total internal reflection.

One time in April there was a full moon, and the sea was covered with ice. Sophia woke up and remembered they had come back to the island and that she had a bed to herself because her mother was dead. The fire was still burning in the stove, and the flames flickered on the ceiling, where the boots were hung up to dry. She climbed down to the floor, which was very cold, and looked right through the window.
The ice was black, and in the middle of the ice she saw the open stove door and the fire - in fact she saw two stove doors, very close together. In the second window, the two fires were burning underground, and through the third window she saw the double reflection on the whole room, trunks and chests and boxes with gaping lids. They were filled with moss and snow and dry grass, all of them open, with bottoms of coal-black shadow. She saw two children out on the rock, and there was a rowan tree growing right through them. The sky behind them was dark blue.

And I feel as though I’m fighting for a lost cause.
Mae, lost cause
We took the plunge and yet, you let me drown.
Mae, plunge
And then, I realized that I was just in love with the idea of what could have been us.
Mae, idea of us
Her mind was hardly ever silent.
Mae, inner chaos
It’s not hard to mess things up. It’s a lot harder to try and put the world back together again.
