Sorry that it isn’t very clear, but I guess it’s not supposed to be.  I started this mixed media painting last year, and finally have been inspired to continue.  I had a massage today where I intern since I get a discount, amazing. And of course, it was almost like therapy because he asked how school was going since our last appt.

Wrong question to ask.

Needless to say, I was a bit homesick and frustrated talking about school and my “high expectations” that I’m not allowed to have, and I realized that this was the perfect painting to work on.   I used Pinterest ideas of cutting up toilet paper rolls (yay for scissors) and hot glued them and cotton balls.  I noticed my green layer looks like a map with lakes (kind of like the Midwest) and turned this painting in the direction of a map. Not completed yet of course, will continue it or another tomorrow.

By Monday I plan to have at least five ready for a critique. Maybe will show another preview of something else at that time.
