Giverny

Today when coming back from class a man I don't think I've ever seen suddenly stopped and asked what book I was holding. Monet's Giverny I told him. He said, awesome awesome, good for you. do me a favor? I smiled, yes? Go there, he said, it's beautiful, you wont want to leave.


So since I basically promised this man I would go... I will :)

I must start relearning some french...

I found my sunglasses and was reminded of who I am in Christ.

planet earth turns slowlyy

Here are some things I've been working on!

Theee bottom one is in oils, the top three are acrylic. The two portraits with the black background were done on foam core (which I found to be prettyyy fun), though they scanned in kinda funny, I'll try to get a better photo of them later.


My brother just sent me this cool song, which I've already played a bunch of times :D check it outttt

freedom for little Gibson

This was my latest assignment for my cloth class, which is suppper cool and much more open then my other major classes.

This piece is about a little pig, Gibson, who is spending his life working working working. While reading a book on break he realizes that other pigs are out there enjoying life to the fullest in the wild. With this sudden revelation he leaves life as he knew it to enjoy life the way its suppose to be.


My inspiration for this silly story was my life. These last few weeks I got so caught up in working working I let my focus drift from my relationship with my Lord and Saviour. I'm not supposed to live my life from deadline to deadline. I have been given freedom and so much more :)



"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life..."

Matthew 6:25

the perfect thought at the perfect time.

"As a student I used to put a lot of pressure on myself, trying to draw "as well as X" or " as nicely as Y" and it was very frustrating, because i was using a lot of techniques that weren't really mine, like drawing the inner structure, or "the force" or drawing with straight lines only... (and many more) and didn't end up with anything satisfying anyway. Now I just 1.watch 2. draw and feel much better."
