i am done

i am so done with everything. I am done with high school and I am done with studying, I just want to stay home and read. But alas, I still have a month and a half left, darn. But I think I can make it, or at least I hope, can't give up yet, not yet not yet not yet.

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.

Spring Break

I went to the coast and did nothing but then I came home and painted so much that I started seeing brush strokes behind my eyelids. I am almost done with my 2 paintings, but I have been working very hard at it. My self portrait looks like me, but only kind of like me. The thing is I dont think that there is anything else I can do to make it much better, because it wont ever be perfect, but i guess that's ok. I also am almost done with my ring fingers one. I also bought a tub of licorice and I am going to make a self portrait again out of licorice. I just need a photo to base it off of. But otherwise I am out of ideas, which is not good.

eat me concentration

hopefully kirstin wont kill me for this but here is the before and after pics for her lovely painting. it kinda looks like her. and then the curly one is my self portrait, which kinda looks like me. my concentration has somethis to do with women and food. so... ya. hope all y'all like it.

Van Gogh art

Vincent Willem Van Gogh, such a well known and respected artist now that he's dead. In french class we are doing a project on impressionist and post impressionist painters. Van Gogh is one such painter. We are also required to make a painting that somehow reflects their specific style of painting. so I was thinking I would be able to do a self portrait in a Van gogh style like this painting to the left. my hope is that it will have the same feel, in terms of texture and painting technique, but be a picture of myself. and in order to associate it with my concentration I was thinking I would make my hair into food again. just an Idea.

Artist's Statement

My Concentration focuses on exploring the relationship between people and food. It displays how food effects people and what roles food plays in the lives of people. A key aspect of this concentration is texture, and using actual foods to create a unique depth.

It's BS but it sounds nice
