Finally at eight-thirty last night the render finished. It ended up being a three day render.
Sean has been eagerly watching the the line "make big boxes into smaller boxes" as it renders.
He's recently become fascinated by the process of making 3D models and renders. I suppose
soon I'll be teaching him how to make his own.
I've also noticed that more and more of my artwork has been influenced by his likes and
comments. He has a good eye for composition and many opinions which he shares freely. Since
he likes this city picture so much I will probably include it in next year's calendar.
Lunch With Ian:
Ian was staying home to work on his code but he popped over to San Carlos for lunch with
me. We had lunch at Carl's Jr and we somehow beat the lunch crowd. I guess everyone else
was working late. While we ate, Ian showed off a new set of pens he bought. They are Uniball
Vision Elite pens (note: they look much prettier in real life) but
I can't find a picture of them online. They are the most beautiful disposable pens I've ever
seen. They come in a pack of different colors and have the shape and design similar to a
1920s Waterman (but in plastic). The pack costs around $15 and I am seriously thinking of
getting a set for myself.
In-Laws Visit:
Tonight Ian's parents are making the long drive up to visit us. They will probably get in
after Sean's bed time but I plan to keep him up until nine in case they get there by then.
Tomorrow Judy, Sean and I have plans to get vegetables at the farmers' market and then play
mini-golf. Sean is very thrilled about tomorrow's plans.
