Stained Glass

I worked on this painting last night and it looks a bit like stained glass to me. I like the idea of taking a symmetrical design and drawing it with imperfection. It's a nice contrast and almost creates and illusion like quality. I'm also really obsessed with color and unexpected palettes. I'm thinking of doing a print for this one with my brand new Epson R1900. We got it a few weeks ago and we were in serious need of a new one. I had been using the 1280 since school and the print heads here completely clogged and it had forgotten how to load paper. It was completely useless. We have this new one now, and it seems great so far. I have not used it much yet but we did print one of our engagement photos and it had superb clarity and color. There is also a tray for CD printing, fun!

In other news, Ryan and I went to see Slumdog Millionaire yesterday and I have to say we were a bit disappointed. I know we are probably 2 out of the 12 people in the world that don't love that movie. I just expected it to be more subtle instead of the Hollywood Blockbuster that it feels, looks and sounds like. Two perks though, the cinematography and the story itself are both quite good. In fact, I just saw that Slumdog won the Oscar for Best Cinematography. So at least it has that going for it, which is nice.
