#6th term

Or: Wow, I didn't know I could be this tired and still pass as a functioning adult. Hey lovelies. You'll all have noticed that I've been distant for a while on here. It's not because I love you any less--it's just because the end of sixth term ended with a sucker punch that is all the feels of leaving my island family behind and trying to get a grip on my new reality of living back in America. It was hard. I have my apartment finally (mostly) settled and put away, my dog has made a bunch of new friends, and I'm running blind through clinics and I don't even know where the time has gone. It's absolutely absurd how quickly things are going here. I'm in the middle of my third rotation and that is still blowing my mind. I am in clinics. I am less than a year away from having my degree. I'm gonna be a doctor. (I'm gonna have moldy towels if I don't get them out of the washer soon.)

So the second half of the semester was more sporadic than the first in terms of landscape painting. I wound up going to North Carolina to visit my boyfriend for Thanksgiving and did some paintings out there. It was a thousand times harder than painting in California. It was super cold out and the landscape is just dense forest. I mean, DENSE forest or just open flat land. The fall color palette was beautiful, but because there was so much saturated color from the leaves it was hard to see the accurate values. Here are two paintings I did on the spot that turned out ok. Towards the end of the class we were asked to take what we learned from landscape painting and do some stylizations. I wound up two paper sculptures.

Finally made a new website since going to USC. Something I'm not embarrassed to show. Well at least not now....I thought the same thing about my old website I designed while at USC. Check it out: www.jackiehuang.com

I created a new logo for myself and then went on to quill it. It took me about 3 hours to draw it out and then another 12 to make it out of paper. Unfortunately, it didn't turn out as refined as I had hoped. I think I might have to wind up fixing up the original drawing and just using that instead.
