Art is life . . .: Oh la la! I have some catching up to do!

*Sigh* I fail at life. Okay, not really. In fact, I feel like for the first time this semester, everything has finally fallen into place. I've been up to my ears in assignments and work, and I've finally decided that I can't take on everything at once. I've set my priorities in order, dropped a course to lighten my load, and I'm back, baby!

When I say I fail at life, that is, I did not get my first 10 watercolor landscapes completed. I feel like a bum. I'd be fired in real life. :) But as I've said, I have my head back in the game and no amount of exhaustion or lack of sleep is ever gonna bring me down. *sings like Elphaba from Wicked* Ahem, I apologize. I just got done seeing an amazing slam poetry performance, and I am wired! :D But I will stop boring you with the mundane details of my life and present some much needed blogging material for class.

I have a very unique relationship with watercolor. I love the freedom of the medium, which forces me to not be so uptight with my work, but in the same token, they don't do exactly what I tell them, and that makes the inner uptight artist in me frustrated. Still, it gave me an excuse to go to the new art store downtown and spend far too much on new art supplies. It filled me with joy, and caused my wallet to weep. XD

I also apologize for the quality of this work. Rusty told us to avoid train-wrecks by this time, but that is not going to happen. At least not now. lol These are past assignments, and after I finish a few other assignments, the latest 10 architecture watercolors will be posted too.

Cheers everyone, and have a good night! :D

First day of playing with my new watercolors. Ironic how Terry Madden had more influence on me than I thought. :D Also, a color wheel to help us keep track of the color spectrum. T'was fun!
