No Regrets!

No Regrets is the way I have claimed to have strove to live my life. In truth I have been living a half life. I have been afraid to fly. It was easier to walk the dusty roads that were well worn and well traveled than to make my own path with the clouds of my dreams. It took me over ten years to face this facet of myself and decide to be brave and leap off the cliff and see whether or not I would fly. I tell you all this to say that I am scared shitless and flying is scary but being scared has never stopped me before and it will not stop me now. So welcome to my blog. The chronicles of my beginning as an artist.

Oil Paint...

Afternoon people,

I just kicked myself in the ass seriously...

So last year my Grandma asked my Mom whether I would give her a painting I had recently done.  My mom naturally called me to tell me.  I was so touched by the gesture...  I was like "Ma.. imma do one for her... you think she would like that?" Of course my Mom said yes.  So I started researching what I would do for my favorite Grandma.  Who by the way called me to thank me for the Christmas Card I sent her.  She loved it!!!  So me in all my wisdom thought to my self.  "Self do another mixed media picture for grandma it will be awesome.  Why don't you use oil paint this time. You're not using a lot it should be dry really quickly."  STUPID!! STUPID!! STUPID!!  I painted part of the picture last night and the part thats oil is STILL WET.  I just hopped on line  and the part thats oil might take up to TEN DAYS TO DRY.  WHO HAS TWO WEEKS TO WAIT FOR THIS TO DRY. AIN'T NO BODY GOT TIME FOR DAT!!!  I can't go forward until that part drys.  I feel like Sokka right now in the cave of two lovers.  UGH!!!  I wonder if throwing it over some heat will help things dry faster..... Yes.  I have a patience problem you should see me on the road.  SO ANYWAY....

Instead of uploading the painting I am doing for granny.  I uploaded the one that granny wanted originally. Its my first mixed media work, and its also my first Official painting.  I hope you like.

By the way computer science is HARD... MIT ain't no joke... but free classes online you can't beat em.

Toodles talk to you guys soon.  Oh yeah I already started designing next years Christmas Cards... FUN STUFF!!!
