About two blocks north of the fine arts studio building is a freight train track. If you go west for a couple of blocks, make a right onto Fess Street and walk under the underpass, you see a few blocks of undeveloped land. Suddenly the landscape looks rural, or from a previous time. (If you're facing to the right; to the left there is more student housing.) Yesterday was a warm, sunny day, and I felt an emotionally compelling feeling of summer turning to fall in the air, so I walked over, and took some photographs. The photo to the left may not capture what I have described but I was drawn to the composition so I posted it.

Sleepy from eating too much for lunch (and dinner last night too). Also from reading assigned reading and working on work for my one academic (non-studio) class this morning and afternoon. I wanted to do that work slowly and thoughtfully to really get a feeling for how I might fit into the world of teaching. But I surely do not miss being assigned what to read!

Actually, I see it clearing up now so I might go run some errands.

Did some pretty poor work, slowly too, on a painting.
