Recent work!

I just got back from spring break! And what a nice spring break it was. Had an amazing birthday, took pictures of things, ate COPIOUS, COPIOUS amounts of food... It even snowed, like, eight inches on Friday, and I was totally cool with it because I didn't have to walk anywhere for once! It was just pretty.

Got basically nothing done though, which is scary. Still struggling to find an internship, and things are progressing painfully slowly. There's always a part of me that says, WHY DON'T YOU JUST GIVE UP AND GO BACK TO WORKING RETAIL FOR THE SUMMER. But alas, I know from experience that would be soul-crushing. SO. We keep plugging away.


Speaking of plugging away, I just got some new work from this semester photographed! I posted it on my portfolio site as well ( marikacowan.com ). Czech it out:

Self-portrait in oil. I've never painted my own face in profile before. It was fun!

Oil portrait of my good friend Dustin

"Beauty vs. Revulsion". Oil, beeswax, scratch technique

A (disproportionate) portrait of my favorite favorite favorite musician, the magical Sufjan Stevens. Oil.
