My oh my.

Yay for photos! It was a fun weekend :)

Well, life is complicated.

I painted this because it really was the only way I felt I could express how I feel right now with some situations. I'll describe what I see, however, everything is always open to interpretation. I wanted this to represent life, and all of the beautiful colors and emotions that come with it. But at the same time, life is sticky, complicated, and full of situations that don't have a black and white answer. Especially right now. I don't fully know how to express verbally what I feel, but here's what I came up with.





UPdate.
Ok, so I'm also going to use posts (if I remember) as a way to log miles that I ride on either a stationary bike, or my road bike. So far for the week of August 29-September4, I've done 46 miles. However, I have atleast on more class this week, which will probably put me at about 68-70 miles this week. We will see!

upUPdate.
I've broken 70 miles this week :) yay!

So I'm exhausted and uber busy with move in and what not, but I will take a few moments to update and post a couple pictures of my dorm room! It's a little different from last year, but its wayyy better!

Short post, but I thought I would share what I just finished :)

Sooo it's been a while since I posted, but it's mainly because music has kept me pretty well occupied. However, for those of you who are around reading, I'm still here and plan on updating once I get a substantial piece of work done. The good news is that in 3 days, I will re-move into my dorm room and decorate! If I decorate, I take pictures. Ergo, I can post them! My dorm room is mainly themed black and white with a few splashes of color here and there. I also am trying to incorporate a more sophisticated (as sophisticated as a dorm room can actually be) and vintage style to it...or more simply put, getting rid of the twilight poster and my hot pink sheets and replacing them with black sheets and a beautiful poster.

She's fabulous, and it will go very well with my chandelier.

Green is the prime color of the world, and that from which its loveliness arises.

This is for Kathryn :) She wanted a green, black, and white painting, and this is what I came up with. I'll admit, I got a little excited and added a slight amount of blue, but overall, I think it turned out pretty well :) Enjoy girl!

The heart of a lion.

After spending the entire day walking through the Fort Worth Zoo, I couldn't help but want to do something artsy and animal-y. These animals are amazing to watch and observe, and the little ones look so cute. It'd be cool to own one, except for the fact that they get to be about 500 pounds and the best place for a lion is in the wild. Anyway, I thought I would share my sketch. I'm still thinking about adding stuff such as a cool tree and sunset in the background. The lion is enough for tonight though.











Here's a fun and slightly unsettling fact, the lion is the only big cat that is not considered an endangered species (Asiatic lion excepted).





















Anyways, goodnight!
