Oil Painting!

I've progressed to oil painting, and I love it. Oil is very different from water colour. Water colour seems more 2D, in the sense that you apply the paint, and dilute it to spread. Oil is thicker, and there's a third dimension to this, because sometimes you can have thicker parts of the painting, and thinner parts! Don't know if I'm making sense.

This painting is somewhat similar in colour scheme to previous works of mine. I promise to try something more drastically different next. Also, this photo was taken before the piece was completed. I filled in the white spaces..

This weekend sucks!

I don't know, they just lacked the stamina to pull things through today. Then again, I don't fault them. NY has a pretty tense weekend with the bomb alert, and I pray that all will be well. After all, in my heart NYC is still my home. This weekend is Fall Break. Unfortunately for me, the weather is bad so I probably can't go hiking, and then my boss told me Thursday that we have work to do over the weekend. Right now I am busy testing the microwave/rf generators for our quantum dot gate pulsing. We need to make sure that we can maintain the pulse form sent down to the sample with minimal distortion, reflection, attenuation and loss. This is made particularly difficult due to the size of our metal gates (which I made), on the order of 100 nm or less in width and less than 20 nm in thickness. S...
