Despite my cycle of hangovers over the weekend, I would say it was a fairly productive one. I started my weekend a little early on Thursday when dinner with friends and stargazing for my Astronomy class turned into a few drinks. Friday morning, I swore off drinking for awhile, but as it turns out, "awhile" was later on that night when I had drinks with friends I haven't seen in a while. So, on Saturday, I decided not to take any phone calls and locked myself in my house in order to resist the call of a good party.
The rest of my weekend went something like this: paint, cook, paint, read a book, paint, and do homework. I have been wanting to paint for the last couple of weeks but couldn't really think of anything to paint. I decided to paint some flowers since flowers are always fun and always present some kind of challenge. These are the results of my weekend lock-in.
DAY 30: January 30, 2010
TITLE: Happy :)
MEDIUM: Acrylic on Canvas
Aside from wanting to paint, it was also my aunt's birthday and I wanted to do something nice for her. This painting is about to be bubble-wrapped and sent to California.
DAY 31: January 31, 2010
TITLE: Luna
MEDIUM: Acrylic on Canvas
After all the nights of stargazing and having the beautiful moon shining on me, I felt inspired to do a moon piece. For the flowers, I decided to go with the same moon theme and tried to paint moon flowers, but I don't think it turned out how I wanted to, despite all the work I put into it this weekend. The work did pay off, since I think it turned out beautifully (if I do say so myself!).
And with that, I am proud to say that I have completed my first month of 365 Days of Art. :)
Beautiful! Years ago, a friend of mine told me that he was getting into computer graphics and asked me why I wasn't tired of painting flowers and such. He is now a big time Hollywood CGI guy. Me? I still appreciate flowers. So, thank you for this.
ReplyDeleteThe full moon was exceptionally beautiful this weekend, wasn't it?
