The world spins madly on

I still love this- one of the rare exceptions to the "I dislike everything I make because I have no talent" rule.



It came out exactly like I wanted it to, which doesn't happen too frequently. It took approx. 25 hours of studio time to complete and was exhausting to work on- mostly due to my obsessive-compulsive need to make everything perfect. The oils had to be mixed to the right color/tone (which takes forever) and the lines had to be clean. I spent hours with my nose almost touching the canvas, trying to make everything exactly right.
When I submitted this to my professor, I was proud of myself.
No, really. I swear.
I had made something perfect.
I can look at it and not find flaws.
I don't even care if other people like it.
This can be added to the list of things that make me happy.

List as of now:
1) Pretty
2) Ginny Love Puppy
3) Flat painting from Spring '08 Studio Painting course

(Also, I made that canvas all by myself. Doubles the accomplishment, if you ask me)


See...said something positive, all by myself.
