Red Deer, Alberta!

I just spent a week with my Mom in Red Deer. I've never really spent time there before, just driven through. Your average small city, lots of franchises and strip malls. The University, where we were, was nice. They added a new wing, and the week long art classes we were taking were held there, which seems like a good idea, but the construction wasn't finished. I'm thinking maybe having a cherry picker backing up towards me four feet from my desk might be a matter for the safety board, because that ain't right. 

Besides the mortal danger, it was a lot of fun. I painted flowers, Mom drew naked people. Then we both drew naked people in the evenings. It's like a really weird mother-daughter bonding activity; drawing a penis together. Mom got carried away at one point and drew one model's penis the same size as his head. I doubt he minded that much. You can see what I did at my sketch blog at evernon.blogspot.com, something new every day this week. 

Oh man, there's a bunch of bugs in the keyboard and every word I type is mashing them to death.
