At last..

Finallly after so many hours...so many days o worry and grueling work my senior project is completed!! My soul in a jar is finally done after painting the wings, finishing the girl and doing final touches. It is truly a masterpeice in my eyes but when i showed it to Mrs. Flhor...she wasnt pleased. And fromt hat I learned that you just cant please everyone... I'm happy..thats all that matters.

How I felt: I truly like my painting. I never thought it would come out so well..and mostly becuase my mentor brought me down. But....other people like it...and i guess thats okay. Hearing this reminds me of all the people who others thought they would be nothiung..when they turned out to be something great. Anne Rice, Albert Einstein and Jim Carrey to name a few.

Time Used: 4 hours to complete.

A Day Off Equals More Time

Today I stayed home. I was really sad and I know i shouldntve done such a thing but i wasnt ready today to face the world. I would normally do it on any other day..but today.. i just...couldnt.

But toda with the extra time I took care a lot of things. I worked on studying for my japanese, I caught up on my math and i worked on my painting for a long while..

There was a lot done in that time for that was the first time I actually could work without any worries about future things or anything else on my mind. Also I had time to work on new techniques. for smaller things i couldnt do with a paintbrush I started to use a Q-tip, which works just the same. And it was nice.

I worked on more fairies, worked on the tiger and actually painted the young girl with the jar of water. i need to finish her bandana and her water jug, and also finish some of the blossoms on the trees. the fox i had to change completly for my poem said that the fox was black and not red...so i had to repaint him..which wasnt that hard.

also finished the lamb...save for his hoof.

How I felt: I was depressed first in the morning. when i woke up i actually ran to my mothers room and started to cry. however after i went through the day it helped my mood. and my painting helped me even more. I am feeling good....for i thought i wouldnt have any time for my painting and here i am making a great deal of progress.

Time used: 4 1/2 hours on painting.

After school inspiration

I came home early today due to the 504 plan. Becuase of my disability the shcooll must find me a way o transportation..so i simply rode the bus with the Smedburg kids. SO coming home I hade more than enough time to take care of a few things. Incuding painting.

Today i worked a bit more on the tree and also worked on the tiger ,which I think is not coming out too well... I'm a bit nervous about it.

How I felt: stated above. Lahought mrs flor taught me that you cant really make mistakes in painting i beg to differ. >>

Time used: 1 1/2 hour on painting

Another Weekend, Another Time to Paint

Once again I was blessed to have some time to paint which i used all the way before i had to take care of something else. Here I took care of my painting, where i painted the fox, the hat, the scrolls and some more of the fairies and leaves.

How I felt: I feel a bit rushed but im doing well. Im keeping up with my time and my other things... im actually balancing things out!!

Time used: 1 1/2 hours painting.

Satuday Mornin'

Time is of the essesnce for me and so i need to work on my project and fast. As of late i have been doing my homework and other projects for my grades have been slipping. No senioritis; i have been doing my work..just not getting the best grades. So ive been working on that. But now i need to work on my project as well, no matter what i need to do i need to finish that!!

So this morning, when i actually had time, I worked on it .I painted the fox, and some more of the tree, trying to fix the blossoms and the leaves.

How i felt: I think its coming out very well for my first painting. ive seen so much art out there and mines is nothing compared to theirs..but im very proud of my work.

Time used: 2 hours 10 minutes on painting.

Taking more of my sweet time.

Another day of Spring break; Another day of painting. I finished the yin yang symbol at the top and worked on the plums and blossoms.

How I felt: so frustrating!! I kept messing up on the plums and making them too dark! Also the blossoms were a bit hard because they were so small and i drew them kinda funky. From waht I saw on the pictures, the blosoms shoudl be a pink color and for me they came out purple... but i felt that it woudl ba creative way of putting it on there. still, i got mad at myself for that.

Time used: 2 hours for panting.

Springness

Over Spring Break I work on my painting. I got the top of the jar painted and also painted the yin-yang symbol. Although this wasnt much i messed up constantly so I had to stop to do it over nd over again. when i finished that I worked on the label and the insides of the jar, touching up a little bit more.

How I felt: It was a bi tfrustarting to paint the top of the jar a couple of times and going back oer it with blue but all-in-all it came out great. Im proud with myself and only hope that the rest of the painting would come out just as well.

Time used: 2 hours painting.
