A couple weeks ago while we were planning our trip to Utah, Ryan came across an art school in NY. Coincidentally, it ran Aug 13-31st and we were going to leave on the 15th. The session is at the Hudson River Landscape School and is being given by Jacob Collins. This all probably means nothing to you, but he is a well respected and huge artist and it's an elite school for landscape painting. Oh, and the 2 week session is free and so is the housing! You had to apply with pieces of your art work as your application. Well....today we found out he got accepted!!! We were so stoked!! It works out so perfect and it is going to be an awesome experience. He is the bomb, he is an amazing artist, and I am not at all surprised he got in.
The pictures are of one day Ryan decided to do a quick study of a rose, and he created a bit of a fan club. (this is outside of our apartment building)

brooke, let me know how those are! I've read 2 John Irving books recently and am really diging him as an author so I'm reading his book "the hotel new hampshire". I recomend "the cider house rules" and "a widow for one year"
thanks. and hello, i just noticed your little sidebar list of books. but thanks for the recommendations. did he write "a prayer of owen meany?" (is that even the right title?)
yeah he did and the title is something like that. did you read it? did you like it? most of my blog viewers are mormon so I hope none are offended when they read some of my book recomendations ;)
