This weekend was the first weekend in a while that I didn’t have to work. So I took the time to spend part of the weekend with my friend. Her birthday was on Friday. As a present to herself, she wanted to get her tattoo touched up, and I was invited along for the ride. The place was a bit of a drive from her house, but we had fun catching up in the car (and stopping for coffee). When we got there, I immediately noticed all of the amazing art they have in the waiting room. They also had some painted storm trooper helmets which, as a Star Wars fan, I absolutely loved. As my friend was getting her tattoo touched up, I realized it’s kind of cool how she’s walking around every day with someone’s art on her arm. It turned out that my friend’s tattoo artist was actually a graduate from Marywood! It was awesome to talk with her and take a look at her art she had hanging up.
For now, my one painting only has some lines on it. While it looks like a mess, it actually makes sense to me. I like to lay down some lines to get the general composition going and cover the white of the canvas. I don’t get too attached to my original set up because I usually end up changing some aspects of it. The colors might even change as I go on. As I keep going with my lines and creating shapes and eventually it will look like what I intended. But right now, it’s just some confusing marks!
Until next week!
