Holidays

Spent the last three days up in the mountains -
A few of my favourite things:

Seven packets of ramen in a giant pot.


THE SKY.


Miss Heidi's Austrian Teahouse pancake with Canadian maple syrup, cream and iceream. :) A bit pricey for me ($17.95) but very very yummy.

Hmm

A little piece of the bigger picture.


On another note, painting a 4000X10000 pixel picture requires intense zooming. I'm wondering if the huge cloud painting is going to be a mistake.

Still a bit sickly

Holidays - time to paint all day~
& looking foreward to pool partying tomorrow. :)

More art mjor work stuff.

Fish (sort of)~






















 I'm going to be using the same colours for clouds.

Sick

Seriously who gets sick in summer?

From what I can gather on the internet the fastest way to recover from the common cold is to:
1) Rest/sleep
2) Drink plently of fluids - water, tea, soup, juice etc.
3) Eat Vitamin C
4) Eat chicken soup
5) Eat ginger
6) Eat ginseng
7) Cut down on sugar (I guess that includes sugars in honey and juice)
8) Take a hot shower/bath (to alleviate symptoms - blocked nose, itchy throat)

Also the primary way in which colds are transmitted is through the nose and eyes, rather than the mouth - so avoid rubbing your nose and eyes.

Anyway here's what I'm working on for my art major work:

So far I'm thinking that:
a) it might actually look ok
b) it might not actually look ok
c) I like lists and multiple choice questions.

Gosh she's tired.


Hypocrite
Hyp-po-crite. Hip-poH-Krit.
I associate ‘hypocrite’ with the colour green and needles.
I dislike it very much. Whenever I read it or hear it, I feel like it’s been addressed to me. I can’t really explain it but it’s as though people are -
No really. Needles. Or something pointy, like a stick.

It’s the same with ‘selfish’.
But selfish isn’t as bad as hypocrite. Mainly because it’s made up of “sel” and “fish” and it doesn’t have a “crit” in it.
No, no, I don’t mean to be postmodern. It’s just … semantics.

And when the sun goes down and I’ve done all the things I’m supposed to do, I still feel so empty.
 And that’s when I realise how much I need You.

It just kind of comes out that way. It's sort of appalling but neither you nor I care very much (and neither do they, ALL OF THEM).


VIBING UP.

aa
ahhhhhh
HHHHHHHHHHHHH

Painter and painting (or should I say painted), ha.
You know exactly what I'm talking about.

Excursion

Fun times at the VA excursion today. Saw a red pig at the White rabbit Gallery and it looked something like this (drawing requested by a friend).

Also my friends are so stylish. ;)
and those were some killer heels.

Sublime

So for my art majorwork i'm supposed to create something sublime.
When i hear the word 'sublime' i think of
1) the colour teal
2) oysters
3) neon lime green
4) nebula
5) galaxies
6) and hockey-pockey icecream
 (the kind that has tiny pieces of gold toffee).
