Hmmm, beautiful quote!

Now you've opened a can of worms--you're a graduate student. Are you a graduate art student? Where? Medium? How far along (in terms of graduation date)? If you're in a painting program, who are the masters? What are your favorite paintings/who are your favorite painters? I live next to the Ringling School of Art, which offers what I call "MTV art" education. I swear the only problem with this forum is that you can't ask these things over coffee/croissant.... I ask these prodding questions because I've just committed to two summer months of atelier training at Mims Studio in NC.

Thanks for elaborating on your piece, by the way. I thought she was an artist: it's a very unique stare that artists develop, almost that they're directing a more observant gaze at you than you're directing at them, don't you think?
