Rainy days, a work in progress and an idea

Today was the perfect day to do some reading. Its pouring rain and I took my last exam before finals in a couple of weeks, so I figured I deserved a little break.  I came home, made a nice hot mate' and curled up on the couch under a blanket with my newly arrived H.P. Lovecraft: Tales.  Think of Lovecraft as a successor to Edgar Allen Poe, minus the poetic element. Master of horror.  So I started reading and couldn't stop. I loved how descriptive his writing is, how vivid everything was. When I finally stopped for lunch almost 3 hours later, I was almost surprised to be in my apartment. It took me a minute or two to shake the feeling that something was hiding somewhere. Very enjoyable way to spend a rainy afternoon, and it led to a wonderful idea for a painting. The last scene from one of the short stories was particularly descriptive and I want to try to paint it. It would have a lot to do with lighting and shadows, I'm excited and hope the excitement lasts until after I've finished my current painting. It'll be a drastic change in subject matter from the recent Mexican soda and fake wine...

Speaking of fake wine, this is my work in progress. I worked on it one day and haven't been able to get back to it for a few days due to hardcore studying. But I'm going to go work on it right after I post this. Ah I love days off of work.  Oh and I also have some pictures from a recent sushi dinner with my beautiful wife that could very well become painting subjects soon.
