Doodling, waiting, and starting again

Today was beautiful, not at all the blah day that the cloudy morning seemed to reveal. Tonight I had my 3 hour Greek and Roman Art and Archaeology course, most of which was spent discussing the four styles of wall painting at Pompeii. During this class there is a 15 minute break and, other than a quick bathroom stop, I'm left with not much to do. So, while waiting for class to begin again, I doodled.

 I doodled during my break, while waiting for the bus, and while on the bus. (I'm not so enamored with the face, but I quite like the rest of it.) I used to doodle constantly but, probably due to the ridiculous amount of notes I take during class, did not do any at all this year. Obviously this isn't a grand piece of artwork but it made me happy!

Recently, I've started painting again as well. This is an (unfinished) abstract piece, one of many, from a little while ago:

Last week I brought my easel and painting supplies to my apartment and I am incredibly excited to start painting!
