Sweet, sweet things.

There is some excitement starting to happen in my life. 

The painting I am working on right now is going well. I feel like I have opened doors for myself as far as my small forms go. I have wanted to figure out how to make them move past just a small sketchbook page. I have wanted to enlarge them somehow but I haven't quite figured it out--until now. Can you tell which one is the bigger one? I am having fun with it, and I have been using cups to mix the paint in instead of a palette and it has worked wonders. I can paint so much thicker now. Nicole will laugh at me for saying that I'm sure. :) In a way though, I feel like I am cheating on my smaller paintings. It's like I am copying myself, which is completely fine, it just feels odd.

Printmaking has been amazing. This is one of the etching/shine colle prints I did. I am in love with it. I want to somehow mesh the two materials together. Print and paint...hmm..we will see what happens. I would love to incorporate prints into my paintings.

On a side note, I am applying for an internship at the Salt Lake Art Center. I am way excited and I hope that I get it. I am applying for a curatorial position as my first choice. If I got this internship, I would be working under Micol Hebron, which would be an amazing opportunity for me.

Also, the NCUR (National Conference of Undergraduate Research) is going to be held at Weber State next spring, and I am going to enter some paintings in that. I have until November 15 to get them in.

Things are lookin' up.
