paint or charcoal

today started off unpleasently.
I awoke at 5:00am from the most dreadful nightmare, it is sort of hard to explain. The best break down I can give is this: I lacked control over my body and was forced to kill myself several times in various ways.
But after falling back to another restless sleep for a few hours I tried to restart my day, but to no avail.

I'm working on a piece for my 20th Century Art class. We are to either create a "moon board" using images or ideas from Art Nouveau or create our own piece of art done in an Art Nouveau style.
I have opted to create my own piece, using Gustave Klimt as a model or inspiration of sorts. I do find him fascinating and think his work is briliant and wonderful. I will be using The Virgin, Danae, and Death and Life as reference pieces. I started the prilminary sketches yesterday.
I plan on using scenes and the storyline from The Fall (a movie, and a wonderful one at that).
I'm still sort of muling it all over.
I cannot decide what medium I should use. I am torn between paint (either water color or acrylic) or charcoal (nupastels). I might use both to be honest, I've been toying with using watercolor and nupastels together because I get this wonderful texture and it as been good for me stylistically.
Work 3:00pm - 7:00pm today. I will finish my paper tonight.
Tomorrow I have Ballet 9:00am - 12:00pm, then the dinner party at 5:00pm with Sammie.
Sunday will be my get-all-my-work-done day.


Gustave Klimt has quickly become a favorite of mine. Several months ago when I went to Barnes & Noble with Christine and purchased a book on his 25 masterworks. I am enamoured. Being an Art History major with a minor in Studio Arts I tend to soak up things like this. He is almost bewitching.
I do fear Joshua grows bored when I prattle on and on about the various artists I become seduced by. I personally love when he talks about the authors he loves; Dickens, Chesterton, MacDonald, Lewis, Austen, Hardy, Eliot, etc.
I love that I am in love with a writer.
