For those who don't know it yet, I have been working feverishly to come up with a project proposal for a 9 month Fulbright Scholarship to Romania. If everything falls into place, I'll be there next September (2010) working with a community of other artists on a project. I have met a wonderful person who lives in Romania..her name is Daniela and she is a professor of Art at the National University of Art in Bucharest...Daniela has been helping me to get connected with the university because I need a host institution there to invite me to come. The invitation goes a very long way in my being offered a Fulbright. I began the process of learning to speak Romanian a few weeks ago and I am getting on quite well with it. Romanian is a Romance Language , as is Italian, and as I grew up listening to bits of Italian, it seems familiar.
Now...as for the newest self portrait...I have turned 50 and it really suuuuckkkkks, but I am trying to be positive about it. I took this in the studio and thought it wasn't too bad, so I figured I'd post it as a kind of therapy (or torture...I can't figure which!)
