Ive been taking a ton of pictures and ive accumulated a huge library of random snapshots. I never leave the house without my camera in fear of missing something inspiring and not being able to remember it later.
My friends are beginning to get annoyed with my constant in-your-face-with-my-camera attitude. I just think my friends are beautiful and i dont want to forget the amazing times we have.
Ive also fallen in love with going to High park and taking pictures of the fall. Ive been meaning to get back to them and paint a fall scene with my oil paints but i havent got any turpentine. Ive only realized that my oil paint needed dissolving AFTER id already finished painting on canvas.
Ive stopped going to The university of Toronto for Social Sciences and decided to switch to the Ontario College of Art and Design (which is very close to my home) for Painting and drawing and perhaps a minor in Photography (seeing how im addicted)
Im not giving up on going back to U of T, i just need to meet certain pre-requisites for a biology major. I have all of my needed credits for biology, but grade 12 biology ended up being bio-chemistry, and ive never taken a chemistry course before. So i dropped that.
This was suppose to be a blog about my art or lack there of, but i end up blabbing about how im in a HUGE pickle with school and my future. It seems everyone is on the same page as me, yet i feel horribley about it.
I suppose this stems from being compared to my mathematically-talented brother who just recently graduated from the mechanical engineering program at Ryerson U. He's got all the math brains, and ive got all the art skills. I suppose if you're good at art/music, you should also be amazing at math?
Anyway,
Ive got a finished oil painting sitting at home and im going to put it up as soon as i can. maybe even tonight. who knows.
