Hey guys first item of business, my older brother and I bought a golden retriever puppy! Pictures will be up in a few minutes when I reedit this. For the past few months we considered getting a dog because we're both lonely and in need of attention. And I actually didn't realize how depressed I'd gotten after my rabbit died in February. When our puppy came home for the first time I felt very peaceful and happier. My anxiety has decreased quite a bit. In some ways he feels like a therapy dog and we named him Sam after the "Sam" from Lord of the Rings. This is our first ever dog so we're newbies in this area. We've had him for a week and already he loves to go after my hands with his mouth. Hopefully I can figure out some ways to redirect or get him to stop. I've looked up several methods online, but it may take time for him to catch on. Already I'm taking tons of photos of him because it will be fun to chart his growth progress and hey it's more reference photos for my drawings.

University also just finished this last week. My art history test was a killer even if it was open book open note because it was basically speed writing in two hours. There were too many essay questions and you had to write quickly to get information down. I'm not sure if I did well at all. Oil painting class was easy since I finished that final a week before finals and we just had to critique them. As for color theory we had a written final that wasn't too bad. I kind of wish I could have learned more in that class and we had more assignments that actually forced us to use certain methods rather than learning about them.

So summer has finally begun. Obviously my summer project is looking after this puppy and hopefully training him. He knows sit at least, but usually only does it if food is involved. I will also be noting those on my point commissions list again. I think I learned my lesson. Only allow 2 spots and quit after that. I just can't keep working on art like most people and digital takes longer than traditional for me. But I'll be finishing up the ones that have signed up and see if you're still interested.
