Day 101

I only had my art class today and I have gotten pretty far with my piece. Now I know the direction in which to bring this piece to life, to make more interesting and create more character with, but I won't be able to finish it by Friday, that I know, so I'll have to talk to the teacher about a time extension. It's only the first assignment but I'm very excited about it. The first time I did a still life I didn't get as involved as I am now, probably because I was shy and didn't really know what I was doing. Now I'm very out there with my art. There is a part of me that wants to hold back, but, instead, I remind myself to keep pushing my limits, pushing my values, pushing my imagination and eye. This is what will make me a better artist, a better writer. Being able to convey to another person what it is that you see, think, and feel is what puts beauty in the world.
