what i see everyday through blue eyes. my travels, places i dream about, my life stories, adventures that make me smile the rest of the week, food-- because it's the essense of life, my photography, paintings due to emotion overload, and sunshine. this is where pretty much all the little things i feel like sharing will be... shared :)

welcome to my world. [sunshine&mirrors&paint]

Where have I been.


?


SPRING BREAK!!! Oh yeah-- it rained the entire week. But I have my license, a bright blue eco friendly car, theeeee bestest friends, and a camera. Despite the rain, I had a good week. Very good.

So, as for a post. I have some pictures. That make me happy. #1 reason is because the weather looks lovely buuut it was really around 40 degrees outside and I almost died. I'm good at hiding that right? ;) We, me and Bridgette (my childhood, elememtary, middleschool, highschool blahh blah [so on] best friend) thought of the idea of using a mirror. We like to add something unique to each photoshoot we do.

...And then there's my paintings. I have so many of them up in my room. It's kind of funny, I didn't really start painting until January. I always thought I was aweful at it, so I never tried. Especially with sisters as talented as mine, I'll have to put up some of their work sometime. They're incredible. Anyways, I sort of taught myself that art isn't about being the best, or having every detail mastered.
Nahh... it's about letting out what's in your head onto a canvas and letting your hand do the work. And there is nothing as satisfying as looking at a once blank canvas that's now covered in your own, personal print. It's just so cool to think about!!

So, I don't really think I'm good at all-- but I never get frustuated with my work. Who says it has so be perfect?

I spent 7 hours on this yesterday when I had no life and I was slightly emotional. Hahahaha eeehhh. It's a picture of me and two of my sisters, in Florida. It's fun to paint a picture of something I took.
