I was not into it. We had to do 3 diferent sketches and pick one that we thought worked best. The requirements were to include three to five objects and arrange them in an interesting way.
I would have rather just focused on one object than do three. I was so negative about this painting but you know what as I invested RyoJulhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07502514691579443356noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8554295561173116797.post-13771063136347529472011-02-04T15:03:00.000-08:002011-02-04T15:19:43.201-08:00First Painting UpdateOk I took pictures of my painting finished. These pictures are not very good pictures. The light was just not agreeing with me. I took them in various ways to try to fix this problem but I don't think that was achieved.

I finished this the first week of my break. It's called Starting Out in the Evening it's by Brian Morton.

Last night I had a dream that I was having an argument with somebody. I don't remember who it was that I was having the argument with all I remember is that it was a woman.

A few changes that have been happening in my life are that I've put myself through restrictive forced diet. Ok don't think I'm trying to hurt myself or anything like that. I'm just trying not to eat foods that hurt my stomach. Every single time I eat I have abdominal pain, not extreme but it's a nuisance.
