~~~~ Painting ~~~~


Hey everyone, I know it has been a long time since I have blogged, but I just realized that I never showed this to anyone. Remember that post I posted toward the end of school about that art project? Well this ended up being my final art project for last year. An acrylic painting of a dinosaur. I had to give it to a teacher, so I don't have it any more. :( But I gave it to my choir teacher, so I will probably be able to see it again when school starts. It's not perfect, but I was pretty proud of myself, and my teacher really liked it. And for one of my first acrylic paintings I would go as far as to say it is really good.
While doing it in class I decided that I did not really like painting, and that drawing was more for me. But during the summer I have decided to give it another chance. Lately I have been doing some watercolor painting, and after I have done that for a while I will try acrylic again. I don't know if I will ever try oil paints again, but maybe . . . . So when I go back to my Advanced Art class this upcoming year I will be prepared for whatever painting projects my crazy teacher has in store for us, and I may even enjoy doing them. So far I am having fun with the painting I have been doing. Mrs. S would be proud of me. :)
And, I have decided (as decided as I can be for now) that in college I want to major in art. I love it, it is something I am willing to work very hard at, and it is something that I think I can get really good at with some work. The world will always need art, and because every person is different we need all kinds to make everyone happy.
When I have some good finished paintings to show I will post them here. They are mostly just practice, so don't be too judgmental towards them.

Just a reminder to everyone: Take time to practice your talents, share your gifts, and do the things you love to do!

Tiffany, I like the painting very much. I'm glad you are developing your painting talents. I think painting is pretty fun. I wish I would have learned how to paint. Maybe one day I can take a class, just for the fun of it.

I love your dino pic! It turned out so great! I hope that Mr. Pinedo puts it up where you can see it. He will if he's smart.

That Dinosaur is awesome!
You should come to my church on Monday nights & Friday afternoons - we're doing all kinds of acrylic paintings of dinosaurs & other animals to decorate for VBS - it would be good practice for you and a fun chance for us to get together!
