so tired

these past two weekends have just been non stop stuff. my college list has been shortened to about 6, i have worked on APUS for more than 24 hours all put together (which sucks) but i did get to work on art. I was able to work for like 6 hours on 3 different pieces. one is a lady in a donut, floating out to sea. another is a women on a couch with licorice lining and another is a women (of course) in a Victorian dress surrounded by a cande coated landscap, so it's pretty interesting. I have been watching buffy while painting. i like that show. I really hope i am able to finish these three paintings as well as the fourth one at school. But we'll see, everything is on a timeline and everything is going so hard so fast. we'll see how well this works out. i just would like to rest.

HMMM

nobody actually reads this do they? well that's fine i guess. But this weekend has been a really tough weekend. my only time to work on art was friday. I did spend a good 6 hours working on 3 different paintings. I just painted over a couple I didn't really like that much. so yes, i am working on 3 at home and 1 at school. I want to see if I will be able to finish all of them by the end of this month. i am betting no, but we'll see. 2 of them are oils, and one is acrylic. I think i should really look into other techniques you can use with oils, because I feel like I am not getting as much depth as I could. I think maybe I will call my grandma and ask for some advice. I have also noticed it is much harder to get really bright vibrant colors with oils, or maybe that's just because my colors aren't that intense. We shall see. But one is a victorian lady with food everywhere, the other is going to be a woman on a couch surrounded by food, and then the third is someone floating in a donut and someone else on a cupcake. I am such a girl, obsessed with pastries and bright colors. Just show my something shiny and I will follow. Oh well, I can't help it that I am a walking cliche, well I could but whatever, I like pastries and bright colors.
