Paintings and New York

I did a quick calculation today, only 50 days until I leave for the States. It seems like ages but it's really not at all. That crept up on me!


I guess the point of this blog is a bit of procratination as my painting assessment is soon and I havent finished anything yet! And it's oil paint!! I'm just not feeling it today.


Had a lovely improptu girlie night with my girl Fruzsi last night! There was chocolate, there was nutella and there was wii. It was great because I've been missing her, but it was good to talk and let a little bit of my crazy flakes out into the world. If I didn't get some crazy flakes out into the world, I may have had an issue with finding out that my ex boyfriend has a new girlfriend, but I don't. I'm actually really happy for him, this would (hopefully) end the talk of us getting back together that he keeps bringing up. So, it's all good.


What is also good is that I booked a hostel in Manhattan and my train tickets to Baltimore! What's the best way to get some clarity? think about running far far away! :-P And I got my passport so I am a very happy girl on that front.


Also, I got a lovely package today from the good people at Avant Cards. A few months ago I was offered a spot to take part in their 'calling all artists' program, which publishes artists' work on a nationally-distributed free postcard, and the artist gets 500 postcards to do whatever they may wish with.



These are my 500!

It's just probably not the best time, because the painting that has become postcard is really personal, and in a way, I am regretting submitting it because I now have a really personal story floating around the whole country. Especially because this 'issue' is a hot topic in my brain at the mo'. Oh well, I'll focus on the awesome that is my art being postcard and the architecture in helsinki record that I am blasting through the house at the moment, and dancing like no-ones watching (because no-one is!)

I'm going to go do some illustration, try and get some perspective on the paintings (next blog )
