Today I got started on my Ciceronian project for Betjemann's class.
Since we were invited to make this a visual project I thought I would take the opportunity to paint something. Back in the day, 2000-2003, I was in love with abstract art. I painted for hours on end in my parent's garage smoking clove after clove in the wee hours of the morn. Lacking a garage this project is a bit less "animated" but is still coming out well.
I have so many other things to work on, but spending Saturday morning rendering my understanding of Georges Bataille's "The Solar Anus" in cheap acrylics is delightful.
in parting...a little Andre Masson pour inspiration

I haven't started my plotting of the "twists and turns" of argument yet. And it's Sunday. I wish I were a more visual person. I hope you'll show us your translation of the Ciceronian Discourse into painting when you're done. :)
