11.2.14: motivation

Evening fellow blog readers!

As you all can tell (or maybe not tell), I tend to use more exclamation points when I am in a really good mood (and feeling more positive about this 20% project) as opposed to using periods.
Well, this time around I am feeling pretty good because I bought CANVASES!!! (finally)
I went to Hobby Lobby last Tuesday (it's been a while), and went straight to the canvas section. I have never seen an aisle as white as that one. Me being me, I was immediately drawn to the canvases with the stickers that read "classic" and "fine", but those tended to be the ones that were most expensive. I had to gently scold myself because I am trying to do things on a budget. I had stated in one of my past blogs that I wanted to use larger canvases due to facility, but they were expensive. Realllllllyy expensive. Ain't no high schooler with money to spend just like that. Also, the brushes that I so eagerly went out to buy are pretty tiny. There's no way I can paint on a 48 x 32 with brushes that are the size of my index and middle finger side by side. Instead, I went to the ON-SALE! section that displayed two 16 x 20 canvases for the cheap price of $7.99. With the mighty help of a coupon, I got a 40% discount! (Oh how I LOVE coupons). 

I know, I told myself not to put deadlines on myself, but I need to pick up the slower pace I have carried throughout this time period. I will try to paint something simple on one canvas. And, it's been a while since I've been in touch with my mentors, so I'll try to get a conversation flowing with them sometime this week.

Excited for the mysteries this week holds!
