Mr. T: Part 3

Last week I went out to DC with my grandmother (who turned 90 while we were there) and my mum. Mom had an educational conference thing and thought it would be nice for me to come along, mostly so I could visit one of my bestest of best friends, ixoj, whom I have not seen for a couple of years now.

I stayed with ixoj and her husband in their wonderful new house, and I would jump on the metro to meet up with my mom during the day (speaking of, I owe ixoj monies for the metro pass I misplaced...awesome me). I went to museums and saw great things, and ate great foods, but more importantly I got to spend the evenings with my friend. It, surprisingly, was quite a rejuvenating visit. Well no, not surprising as in I didn't expect that seeing my friend would not be wonderful beyond all imagination; I just wasn't expecting it to be quite so...soulful?

Now that I am back, I am sleeping well, waking up early, working out, and I am painting. I was nervous to start painting, with my drawings pre-DC not turning out to be super awesome; however, today I am almost happy with myself.

Here is all of the progress done on Mr. T up to today:

As he is right now, he is too gray and his eyes look weird (just ran to check if it was the angle of the photo or the painting, just the photo, thank goodness). I will need to go in and darken him as I go. He is probably about a fourth finished. Here are some details, which look horrible, I really should stop taking photos with my phone:
