The semester ended well, and although I'm not ready for another semester of classes quite yet, I feel a little more confident going into the new year and excited for different subjects. In particular, I am looking forward to an introduction to anthropology class. I've always had an interest in history but more so in the way people lived and interacted than the actual names and dates.
During this Christmas break, my dad and I took a road trip to Florida. We spent time in St. Agustine, Miami, the Everglades, New Smyrna, and the National Seashore. We also spent a day in the Bahamas before heading north to St. Simon Island and Savannah, Georgia. On the way up to Mammoth Cave in Kentucky, we also stopped by Look-out Mountain in Tennessee where a Civil War battle took place. With 3,600 miles of driving and a lot of walking, hiking, sight-seeing, and climbing through tight, dark, cavernous spaces, we packed a lot in during 10 days. The ocean was a little cool, but for two pasty, northerners, it wasn't really an issue.
I have one more week before school starts again, and I plan on spending it painting, reading, and working on puzzles with my mom so I can get re-charged for the new year. I hope all of you are having a great start to year 2010. Feel free to shoot me an e-mail at rcramer641@gmail.com. I'd love to hear from you.
Below are three pieces of art work from one of my BPMI class. We drew a lot of food in this class which is fine by me. I consumed a lot of vitamin C during the orange illustration which probably saved me from getting sick when everyone around me was hacking up a storm of phloem.
