happiness

It has been a wonderful night. Lots of relaxing is going on, even though not much of my painting was worked on. Yet I have come back to one of my first loves which has been long left out in the cold by other projects : sketching. I wish I had some to show you tonight, but I didn't take any pictures, instead I have my painting that I worked on this past week and completely changed around (not surprisingly lol) . So, here are some pictures of it.

Starting Fresh

Well, I am officially the worst blogger right now. How long has it been since i wrote a post? like a month? oh well, I am starting again. Since the last time i wrote, a lot has happened in my life, but not so much in my art. I finished the one of Jonathan and Whitney, and started one life-size painting of my boyfriend. Yet it unexpectedly took a turn for the worst last week when I destroyed his face out of frustration of not getting the right skin tone down on the canvas. Needless to say, I gave up on the endeavor when my professor wrote a note on my easel about things I needed to change, so I decided to go in a new direction. Today, I painted over the ruined boyfriend picture with one of my friend Larisa, and it is already turning out 250% better than the last. Now I'm just working on a color scheme (which is not quite finished) that was inspired 2 weekends ago at a friend's in Missouri. So finally, I'm pretty excited about it and don't actually want to work on an essay due friday, but paint. So instead this blog is becoming my procrastination. Thank you blogspot.
