Hello everyone.
No painting yet.
College applications are the current cause of my daily migraines and have consumed my life morsel by morsel.
I have come to the realization that I shouldn't be "planning" on what day I will paint, and more importantly, I shouldn't be planning what I will paint! The purpose of this project is for me to learn how to paint abstractly AND to learn how to view things above one view point. I feel that I am missing the point of abstract paint: do not think, just do. I think this principle may very well apply to other aspects in life as well. Sometimes we find ourselves in a rut, but by just doing something a little something will react and then that something can possibly turn into something bigger and greater than that original something, you know? (This all makes sense in my head and of course when I try to type it out, it sounds awkward.)
My point is, I will just stop giving myself weekly deadlines. The big deadline isn't until December 5, 2014. That's presentation day. My major, overall goal is to have a few paintings to display. More than one for sure, but if I feel inspiration for only two paintings, I will feel satisfied with myself. I need not pressure myself into painting 6 pieces (like I originally had intended).
Til next week.

I really enjoyed reading all your blogs, Steisy. I am impressed by your drawings, and I know that your paintings will turn out well. Additionally, I like how much effort you have put into this project. You have used an endless amount of videos, and I can tell that your research is paying off. Keep up the good work! I know your presentation will be great.
