So im back from vacation, spent a week in South Carolina, love the state, I think i'll do a series of some sort one day based on my trips to the state.  great to hear the ocean, walk the beaches and see the sunrise over the atlantic.  It was also great to do a day trip out to Charleston, love the city.  perhaps it has to do with my love affair with balconies?  Southern charm and Hush puppies, cant beat it.  back to work on my sears tower series, I fell short of my personal coverage plan to have all 4 up to a 70% finish point, but I guess its fitting that i come back from the south to do the south view.  so far the east view is my favorite, but i think the south view is going to be the most interesting of the 4?  we'll see, they're all interesting in their own right, and im excited to see how they all turn out.  since these are winter scenes, i want to finish them before the weather warms up.  heavy studio hours to come in the next month.  hopefully the'll be finished by the may 2nd friday.
