Easter Art

Instead of dying eggs this year, we decided to make use of left over Acrylic paints from Rebecca's classes. We blew the egg guts out and made these masterpieces.

Rebecca's Egg

Artist's Statement:
I don't have anything to say about my egg.


Nate's Egg

Artist's Statement(if you can actually call me that while keeping a straight face):
As you can see, Rebecca was my inspiration for both sides of my egg. The first is a copy of her "Devils Garden" oil painting of Arches National Park. I'll call my "repl-egg-a" the "Deviled eggs Garden". The second side of my egg is a portrait of Rebecca. Even though she tried consoling me by pointing out that it was the very first time I had ever tried painting a portrait, I still felt incredibly embarrassed by the final result. Seeing how impossible it was for me to not make the mouth HUGE gave me much more appreciation for the intricate details on her eggs.

Job Search/ Loneliness

A couple weeks ago I had two phone interviews with Northrop Grumman (a large aerospace government contractor company). One was for the Systems Engineering group in San Bernardino, CA and the other was for the Electronic Systems group in Maryland. They went pretty well, and they said they would contact me in a week or two about whether they wanted another interview or not. Well the group in CA actually called me the next day to say they wanted to fly me out for another interview! I leave this Wednesday night and have interviews Thursday morning. Any tips? Rebecca is not looking forward to being alone for the first time so hopefully I can find a neato souvenir to console her in her troubling times.
