Big Project #1

It is ever so satisfying to finally finish a major project. Today marks the first day that I finished a big painting project (lots more to come). Though I have done lots of paintings, today I have finished my first major piece, with lots of hard work, lots of time and of course lots of love I have finially finshed. Now all I have to do is finish my other two small unfinished paintings which shouldn't be too hard.

The painting represents the abstract way I see flora. Colourful yet complicated. Of course I cannot measure up to the real thing but trying to view it in an abstract way helps me present it from my view. I'm happy that I have finally finished, I like how all the textured bits came up, I used modelling paste to achieve this and then painting over it when it dries, also use gel mediums to create other different texture which I am happy on how everything turned out.

Unstressing Myself

Even though I still have one week of my summer break, weeks before I was feeling extremely stressed though I know that I don't have anything important to do or anything to hand up. I think it was just all those unfinished projects I just have laying there unfinished, but i don't know why they would stress me out. At the moment though i have finally unstressed myself with some theraputic painting a piece inspired but mother nature herself. It shows how I see flora in an abstract way trying to keep with natural colours found in flowers and plants. Green being the primary colour and bits of bright colours to highlight the beautiful flora on this earth. Though I haven't finished the two panel painting I am in the final stages, so hopfully soon I will finish.

Happy Art Supplies

A little something something to help me motivate myself to actually finishing this unfinished painting i started ages ago. I treated myself to some paints and brushes today, definately happy. Everytime I go into an art shop and leave with something I always feel like i just had Christmas or my Birthday because even though i bought it with my own money it makes me so happy just to own new and unopened art supplies. To be later on opened and let myself go crazy and just experiment.

Addiction

Hi my name is Sue and i'm an art-supplyholic. Yes it is a big addiction that i have, i spent a good solid two hours yesturday browsing online for art supplies, most of which i can't afford. I always find myself thinking about having whole collections of good quality paint acrylic or oil i'm not fussed because i love them both and a huge range of paint brushes that i could experiment with, but for now I am making do with what i have which is enough.

Onto other things, just started a big painting project and it's taking shape nicely, so my other unfinished paintings will have to wait because i am on a roll with this one.

Quote Of My Day

Salvador Dali - Warrior, 1982

"Drawing is the honesty of the art.

There is no possibility of 

cheating. It is either good or bad."

- Salvador Dali

One of the many artists that inspire me.

Dreaming

It annoys my that when i woke today i forgot what my dream was about, all i knew was that weird( as it always is) and my dreams usually involves some famous person off television and sometimes my friends. But the really weird thing is i still feel that weird feeling that you get in a dream. Like when you're sad in a dream you wake up sad even though you forgot what you dreamt about, but for me i can't really explain what feeling i have except the fact that it was just plain weird.

Anyways that was my tiny rant that i had to write somewhere...

Finishing Projects

Another day another post, the usual day where i think about things and inparticular the fact i have a bad case of procrastination and what not. Knowing where it comes from it sort of annoys me.

I have (sort of) finally come to terms with my procrastination problems by starting to slowly finish off those painting projects i have just there on my table....two down and two and a half to go.  Something else i did was call up a person to deal with my headphones being repaired...something i was suppose to do a month ago but kept putting off, some of the time i kept forgetting, anothers i just made excuses like i'm busy when i'm not and most of the time i didn't want to talk to a person over the phone, fearing it was going to be some useless person who doesn't know how to do their job or couldn't of been any help. Finally getting over it like i should of a month ago i rang the people  up and to my relief it was some nice guy who was very helpful and hopefully soon i'll have stereo sounding music again.

Valentines Day

Roses are red,

so are my shoes,

i don't have a valentine,

so i'll just play sudoku

no but seriously that is what i'm doing, (giving my brain a well earned exercise it deperately needs.....) because i really don't have a valentine. maybe next year... 

A cute little Valetines heart for myself.........Happy Valentines Day

Valentines Day...

Well tomorrow is going to be valentines day. There is nothing more sad than having no one....and i'll be one of them. It's one of those days where i don't really look forward to. I'm sound a tad bit bitter, i must stop.

On other news, I'm kind of over the whole five thing, i had to sleep on it and i'm not worried anymore . It was so stupid. I have come to the realisation that it was just a coincident and nothing more.

Something else that i have come to the realisation is that we are all going to die. I mean we as humans have evolved and basically destroyed the world or on the way to it, it's just so terrible. There's so much greenhouse in here that it's making everything stuffed. Now i don't want to sound like some ranting enviromentalist but lets face it it's all true. The weather for one, one day it's hot until you want to die, the next it's freezing cold to the point you need a big thick jacket. The earth is slowly dying and there's nothing we as humans could do. It's not like we can go backwards or anthing.

The Number Five

So my second post, so far so good i'm still keeping with it, well i can't really say anything just yet as it is only the second day. i guess i'll just have to see how far i can do this thing.

I've realised something today and it's that  my inability to complete my journals actually translate to other things in my life and right now i can think of two things. The first is books, i would start them then i just stop, i know i have one particular book where i've gone halfway and never finished and i'm pretty sure it's been about geez i've counted and i am pretty sure it's five years and counting. It's funny because i still have a bookmark in that book. I'm pretty sure i have four others that i must finish. The Second thing is my paiuntings i counted and yep five paintings have not been finished on it's way but not yet finished. 

Now i think about it, this is really weird, why five? i can't even answer myself that question, i didn't realise how many paintings or books i have yet to finish until literally right this moment when i was writing the second paragraph. Is the number five some how significant to me. Crap...this is just freaky i saw five crows the other day what on earth is going on with me? is it just coincidence? I don't know. Something i don't understand is apparently something i'm begining to fear.

Hi

Sitting infront of my computer with a nice warm cup of tea i write my first official blog , i have never done anything like this, sharing my thoughts and 'stuff' if you will so this will be the start of my online journal or blog and hopefully the start of a committed one. i say that because I have known to be not committed to things like a journal. I must have up to four or five different journals where i just wrote into a few pages until i got bored and then i just stopped. Maybe it was the events in my life ones that weren't so eventful that i thought wouldn't be worth writing about. Wow just thinking about it brings back nostalgia of those times i wrote about how my friends are the best and i know that sounds corny keep in mind i'm thinking way back when i first started writing in a journal and that it must of been around when i was seven or so. Things have definately changed since then i would never of guessed or even think about thirteen years later i sit here with a little life experience now wiser and happier than ever.
