Found!

Check itttttt. Nice site with some nice birds.

I should really figure out what I'm doing painting all these birds. I kind of feel silly, but it's enjoyable. So I'm likin' it.

This guy does some glorious things to them.

I also just had to mention my neighbor...Beth Sautter.
We have a couple of her pieces. I just really like them. They're teeny too.

Why am I posting this.

I just found this when I was looking for birds for inspiration in order to start my two concentration pieces.

I really like the use of gold leaf, so nice.

Super

Well I was in Arizona all weekend for lacrosse (super fun) and it was super cool because I've never been there before. It was super hot and got super rainy but we had some super games and the artistic insight I got was just super. Ha.

I'm being honest though, I got a few cool pictures, but the only topic I could remember was the color and night time one so I just stuck to those. I got some, now I just need to develop them! Yeeee.


baaaaahhhhhhhhh we have school tomorrow.

Nummy

There's a postcard sitting next to me of a frog. You see this card is always sitting here and I always look at the frog and basically I'm in lovewith this frog. Like full fledged affair.
Isn't he pretty?

I just finally looked up the artist. JoAutumn Brok. Neat name I would say.
The stuff is pretty cool, and fun, and watercolors!
I miss using watercolors, I never did that much, but when I did I was soooooo into it.

Moral of the story, I need to have fun with art, it's the last year to do it, I shouldn't make stuff I don't enjoy making.

SOOOOOOOOOOO nummy.

Unrelated?

OK I have tried to start this blog with like five different topics but they are all vague enough that I can't write a lot about them. So I will do two of them. Now this will be adequate.

1. Landscape architecture seems like a neat professi
on, I've been researching it. YAY.
(Finding a picture took too much effort)

2. XC state was saturday, we made fourteen posters for all the runners. It was really fun actually and I love making posters.
(This one was my masterpiece)


3. Trying to dig deeper with birds. I'm sure I will find something "deep" about them.

4. I wish I could try doing some stained glass, my mom used to, it seems really fun.


5. I have a ap euro seminar to go do. School is so fun right now.

Manning Up


First I feel like I need to tell Emma: YOU MAN UP.
Just in case she sees this.
Now...

I have to do that bird painting for the volunteer hours (I'm pretty jacked actually) but I don't know what kind of bird to do.

What a toss up.

I feel really dirty taking a picture some one else took and using it, but I'm kind of to that point of need.
And I really like this picture :]

Pinhole



I feel like I either complain or talk about stuff I want to do on this blog.
Today is no exception.

ONE: I really really really want a pinhole camera. I know I could make my own with an oatmeal box, but I kind of want a real camera. Our friend just gave us this book his friend made with all his pinhole photos and they are so neat.
And his name is Zeb Andrews. That's neat.
Cape Kiwanda 15 seconds.

TWO: I don't like painting myself. It's really not fun. I'm not liking this. I was all jacked to paint because I never straight out pain, now I'm painting though and I'm not liking it. I've been working on it today and it's just a flat out struggle. The mouth isn't done, but I don't want to get too tight with it. The expression doesn't look right and I look like a man. I'm not excited to the do bottom half and I really just want to leave it blank. I don't know, we will see how this turns out.
