The Joys of Paper

It's been over a week since I last posted.

I didn't paint that much this past week and a half and it's really affecting me. I had to take my art history test on Tuesday so that took up like 5 hours of my day that I wanted to spend painting. Plus, this weekend I am working A LOT, so I won't really get the chance to do much until Monday. I can't wait until Monday - No school and no work until 6, then on Tuesday I don't have school OR work! I am really going to punch out some paintings then.

I have to work on my Pegasus picture more. The "honeymoon" stage was short-lived and I have very quickly become tired of the piece, as all my other paintings. BUT, I need to keep working on it. Hopefully if it's any good I will submit it for the scholarship application that is due next friday.

I also need to be working on a new painting for BFA. My crit is this week and I basically don't have any new stuff :( I was sorta waiting on my Fabriano paper...that came in the mail today! I was so freaking excited, it is beautiful paper and I can't wait to destroy it >:)

Along with Pegasus and new BFA work, I want to do some more small masonite paintings. I really like the flow the first 20 gave me and feel like I need to do some more of those. I also need new work to submit to the OTHER art major scholarship. AH. so much to do. I am working a ton the next couple weeks and then I am going to Mexico the 2nd week in March, things are just piling up. Plus I am so incredibly poor. You know you are an artist when you are willing to spend $130 on good watercolor paper, but will skimp on a meal or two!

I may not have any big new work to show for next Thursday, but I have been doing some small "sketches" in my sketchbook that I have been obsessing over. I want to do the small paintings kind of like these that are in my book.
