Work done over the past couple of days...

Okay, so I'm lagging behind a little. I had some serious homework to finish for my Grad class, so that took priority. This is what I have been working on and finished over the past two days.

Friday Night late sketch....

My late sketch Friday night. I was feeling pretty sick all day.... stupid weather messes with my head. My mother informed me that it has been documented that the hole in the ozone layer is closing up, so it could be affecting weather which could very well be the reason why I've had so many headaches and sinus migraines this year. It's helping me free my thoughts from the fact I could have a brain tumor....(just kidding.) :)

Thursday's Picture... little late...

I chose this photograph out of some pretty ones, only because I liked the texture of the various items found in the picture. I would love to sketch this photo at some point.

Impossible.... The song of my life.

I remember years ago
Someone told me I should take
Caution when it comes to love
I did, I did

And you were strong and I was not
My illusion, my mistake
I was careless, I forgot
I did

And now when all is done
There is nothing to say
You have gone and so effortlessly
You have won
You can go ahead tell them

Tell them all I know now
Shout it from the roof tops
Write it on the sky line
All we had is gone now

Tell them I was happy
And my heart is broken
All my scars are open
Tell them what I hoped would be
Impossible, impossible
Impossible, impossible

Falling out of love is hard
Falling for betrayal is worst
Broken trust and broken hearts
I know, I know

Thinking all you need is there
Building faith on love and words
Empty promises will wear
I know, I know

And now when all is gone
There is nothing to say
And if you're done with embarrassing me
On your own you can go ahead tell them

Tell them all I know now
Shout it from the roof tops
Write it on the sky line
All we had is gone now

Tell them I was happy
And my heart is broken
All my scars are open
Tell them what I hoped would be
Impossible, impossible
Impossible, impossible
Impossible, impossible
Impossible, impossible

*As sung by Shontelle 2010


Every single time I listen to this song, I resonates so much with everything I have been through regarding relationships and even close "friends" in general. I find it fascinating how people all over the world go through the same things, yet we don't change anything so it stops happening. I also think about how people are sleeze balls, liars, cheaters and users. The selfishness of people makes me sick. I do think that there are positive ways to be selfish, but majority of it is negative. With that said, this song shall be my anthem for the time being.

Photograph of the Day

Here is my photograph of the day taken at the Kirkland Town Park, Clinton NY. Nothing has been edited on this photo, it's exactly as it came off the camera. I got lucky.

Black River, NY

Headed up to the Adirondacks today. Hoping to get myself some nice pics. It's a little overcast now, but I think it's supposed to clear up by noon. Super excited because last time I wasn't fully prepared and sick, so I couldn't enjoy it as much. Pictures to come lata! :)

Flower Photography

Here are some photos I took of flowers. I love to draw and photograph nature. My forte is flowers.

These are some of the images I have been working on. The first image was done using colored pencil and pen. The second image is watercolor and pen, third is colored pencil and pen and lastly is watercolor and pen. I LOVE this technique. For my first 4 pictures (which are small in size) I think they look pretty cool.

Back to the basics of.... well... me.

Okay, so I'm not doing very well with this whole blogging thing. I've been thinking about what I actually want to write about on here, since, well, my life isn't all that exciting. With that said, I've recently rediscovered my passion for the arts. It's been stifled by ridiculous college classes and work. It's funny how stuff like that takes over and then before you know it, it's like "where did that girl go in high school that enjoyed doing those creative things" ? I signed up for a local art class and I have to say it's probably the best thing I have done for myself in a long time. I'm starting to dust off the cobwebs of my skills and get back into something that utilizes a completely different side of me that I'm not sure people realize is even there. Sure anyone can be a photographer these days with all the fancy equipment and computer software, but natural talent or learning skills, that's where the real substance is. So, what I'm going to do is blog about my art exploits and share pieces here. It's great when things start to come together. I'm sure my life will pour out in various posts as well. After all, we do need a little drama sometimes :)
