Its been a while, just thought I'd share a picture taken while on vacation. I've had to put away alot of my art stuff for the time being and that leaves me with a camera. Mine broke so I've got to send it off and see if they can fix it. I don't recommend the camera I got, Kodak Z1285, they seem to have a this habit of dying with the lense out and then you are unable to get it working again. So until I get that fixed I will probably try playing with my husbands camera.

Its just so bright and cheery and it makes me happy. I just got a new camera to play with.

I've been away from my painting for a little while now, I want to get back at it, but things aren't working on that front.

Ideas

So after talking with a friend Saturday, I've decide to explore graphic design. I've starting to think this career path has real potential for me. It would let me do something that I really enjoy full time. ART. So I need to keep looking into and figure it all out, but I am really thinking about moving forward with this. Taking some classes. I've already got one degree, so that should help. I am starting to feel excited.

Just thought I share this one. I've been trying to think of a way to use this in a mixed media piece. I'm thinking I will get this one blown up a bit and then frame it. Every time I look at it, I can remember the feeling I had in that moment, while driving home from Virginia- such peace, freedom and the feeling of pure wonder.

Its Been a While

So its been a while since I posted here. I got some paints for christmas- golden paints, which I've played with a little, I love them. They are so much nicer than the liquitex paints I have. They are just smoother or something. Not sure how to explain it- I guess I should chalk it up to a better quality product. I've achieved some cool results mixing the golden paints with the liquitex glaze mix.

The colors that I can achieve with the golden paints is much better than the liquitex paints. I guess thats what I really like about them, the mix-i-bility.

I will try to take a picture of the background that I want to use for some ATC's. I'm planning on starting those in the next couple of weeks. I hope to be able to take some pictures soon as I also want to post the piece I made for my mom for christmas.

I am Legend

So I went to see "I am Legend" on Sunday, and it was not what I expected. We saw it at the IMAX theater, and it wasn't the best format for it, to many camera moves that make you feel a bit motion sick. I just wasn't expecting it to be a "thriller/horror" movie, I was expecting something else, but thinking back the trailers weren't very helpful. I don't want to spoil the movie but, there was one section which just didn't need to happen. I was almost ready to walk out at that part, with the dog. Maybe I'm just to sensitive or because I wasn't expecting it to be that kind of movie.

Random thoughts

So today is one of those days when I should be doing other stuff, but am feeling rather compelled to sit and procrastinate.

Last night I went to see I am Legend, with some friends. It was not the movie I was expecting, it was more of a thriller/horror film, than I had expected based on the previews. One part of the movie really upset me. I just didn't think it need to be done.


So my brilliant idea this morning was it would be a great dieting idea, if someone would create an advent like calender for dieters. Something along the idea of you can have one piece of this really good chocolate a day, to help keep the cravings down? I love advent calenders, I just had the last chocolate today, and it just seemed like such a great plan, make a monthly calender with really good chocolates, and you could have a piece a day. Ahh... well probably not such a great idea, but I was thinking if I bought something like that versus a bag of chocolate or a bar of chocolates, I could help keep myself happy (with chocolate) and stick to my diet (not so good at it, even when I try to think of it as a life-style change).

Ohh well, enough of my procratinating for this morning, but get on with the cooking and cleaning to prep for tomorrow.
