still waiting for a picture of our cabin posted somewhere, still pretty hopeful. our street isnt listed much for burned cabins, glad for that.
my last day of class, i had fun but didnt quite finish my painting. i got sorta hung up on the big rocks in the front and didnt finish the water and background, my instructor tore it apart more than usual but i didnt want to interupt his critique by whining it wasnt done (he kept saying it was too simple, the background wasnt interesting enough, yeah i know!) he kept going back to my picture as the crappy example (not to be taken personally, but still...) i just wanted to snap, "it's not done, okay!!!" man, my nerves were shot and the poor guy was just doing his "teacher" job, but i just started shrinking on the spot. luckily a lot of people got similar comments, so it wasnt just me. i really didnt finish any of my paintings this week, it was just such a stressful time. oh well, i will get them all done soon and since i learned a ton of new techniques, i am hopeful they will look just fine. heck, i am glad i challenged myself at least. i also met a lot of neat people who painted some awesome pictures. i am pretty sure i was the only person there without any formal art training. my dad and i painted together for many years and i learned by copying things i liked. i think i am doing this whole painting thing backwards and if i ever get the time, may take a basic painting class to actually learn what the heck i am doing.
ok, more halloween carnivals, this one at school:
