Bucket list; paint a winter holiday town scene
Something I’ve always wanted to try my hand at, was a winter holiday town scene. The kind of warm illustration that you see on many greeting cards, I haven't been inspired to do one until this year.
First day off in two weeks
It's been a whirlwind couple of weeks. I had two paying gigs happen at the same time. So I had to split my time between both, and parent (it's summer holidays so no school) and keep the house up and cook meals and so on.
To alleviate some stress, I wrote my to-do list, and cut out the unnecessary things that could wait.
Prioritised my “spoons” and time as best as I could.
Class consciousness
The homeless encampments are growing in size, I know of a few families who live in one, in the middle of winter in Canada. This is oh so much more personal than I can explain and it’s really like talking to walls. So many care more about their inconveniences of seeing poor people than acknowledge the problem is THERE SHOULD NEVER BE BILLIONAIRES EVER. NEVER.
Art Goals 2023 ongoing discussion
I had to fail a lot to see the positives in trusting my gut, and my abilities to create the art I want to make.
