I'll be honest, the art making, since the end of this last semester, has slowed significantly. This is the last piece iv'e worked on and still cant find it in me to get back into it. For a while I was beating myself up that I hadn't made any newer works, but really why force it? For me, making art isn't this rambunctious nervous tick that I spontaneously crank out every second of the day. Actually quite the opposite, I take my time with each piece. I like it that way. When I work on paintings it's like having a conversation with a really good friend or someone of the opposite sex that I'm interested in. When I paint I'm calm, excited and nervous all at the same time. For this particular painting I wasn't really any of those, I was more confused and a bit frustrated, I think that's why I'm not too happy with this piece. That's not to say that I wont finish it, but it need to take a bit of a Hiatus for now.
Next week I start my last semester of my Bachelor's in Studio Art, so we'll see where these next few months take me.
