So, at the urgings of my own heart, plus those of my mother, Sami, and my boss, I started a painting from one of the inspiration photos I was discouraged from using in art class. So this is outside-of-class work, mainly going from what I've learned in books.

	July 28, 2010 - 7:43 PM start of my first oil painting!
	palette - stage 1 working with a limited palette of ultramarine, lemon yellow, and burnt sienna
	July 28, 2010 - 8:21 PM
	value check
	palette - stage 2
	inspiration (Have now moved the "painting table" a few more inches away from my closet, which has no doors and is therefore vulnerable.)
	July 28, 2010 - 8:41 PM calling it a night

	July 29, 2010 - 8:20 PM began this stage at about 6:30 PM
	July 29, 2010 - 8:39 PM calling it a night
	palette - stage 3 Okay, I had to sneak a little cerulean into the palette, too. (I'm now just keeping my palette taped to this little folding table. After putting two more sheets of disposable palettes over the top of this, I'm able to fold the table up and keep Anu from sprawling on top of paint while I'm away.)
