I Can't Stop This Feeling Any More

A kid in my lit class got that stuck in my head. 2 Parts: Words & Art.
Part one: Words.
It's been a while, due to school, being sick, and writing a journal taking longer than intended. I lost an Uncle last weekend, he was quite magnificent. He was funny, and his jokes weren't at the expense of others.  He was in the navy, and was a fantastic photographer. Part of me wishes I named my new camera Ralph, instead of Horatio.
Oh, did I say new camera? New, like, I dunnno, A Nikon D3100? Yes, yes I did.
So, I'm going to spam you with a few weeks worth of deviantart, tumblr and redgage posts, and then I'm off to honour my uncle. Then, I have a band trip this weekend, and a tromp through a park on Sunday. If all goes well, more photos shall insue.

Part two: Art

I Miss Using Acrylic Paints

I have a ceramic work and a few watercolour things, but first I have to ramble a bit.
So I was at your pants, in the visual arts forum, when I came across a link in a signature (or maybe 23 links, most of which I was to adhd to pay attention too), and found myself intrigued. One blog I found is called Life With SarahB, and looking at her posts, I realized how much I miss acrylic paints. Trying new things, different styles and switching things up. So, go check her out. The funny thing is that, while at the chain store my parents shop at, I picked up a few oval pieces of wood. They get to be acrylicized. Also, I've had this idea for a few weeks, and I'm going to use some canvas board I painted over (I can't remember the rubbish that I originally painted on it.) and try to make that in acrylic.
I'm quite tired at the moment, due to a "crazy" sleep over that lasted well into the night. Plus, disappointment makes me tired, as does a myriad of other things. So, some things to look at, and I'm off.

Beware the Ides Of March

I'm going to tell you a bit about the last couple weeks, but first, Happy Birthday to STEPHEN!!!!!!!
Now, I learned quite a few things. I'm more stressed about college and the future than I thought I was (which is something I didn't think was possible.) I learned that tissues are even more entertaining than I thought ( when it comes to taking photographs.) Plus, I learned not to tell someone a false name the first time you meet them (because even though you're joking and just wanted to see if you could keep a straight face, you've screwed yourself. You're going to find him adorable, and that you have more in common than you realized, and then you're going to worry that all he cares about is that you told him your name was Elizabeth.) I'm enjoying self-improvement, making little doodles of things my lit teacher says, and my love of twizzlers is being rekindled. Also, I'm really enjoying running.
And now, some things I've posted since the last time I updated you guys. (ALSO, I've a Facebook page! I'd love you if you liked it and recommended it to your friends)

PS:

Actual Productivity!?!

I'm shocked too. I did waste quite a bit of time, sleep in and nap frequently, but all in all, I actually did stuff. I walked to Erin's house, drew, painted, photographed, cooked, cleaned and wrote. I watched movies and listened to music. I even ran around in the snow, with mum's puppy. I panicked about the future, college especially, and realized my love of cheese & pickle sandywiches, and hard boiled eggy-wegs.

The most recent of the paintings posted have been dry for about an hour. I spent a nice two hours painting, and pushing Betty Davis off my art supplies. [She's a pushy broad.] It wouldn't have been so bad, but I would get up and move things, and she would be laying on the floor, where I sat to paint. And then she laid on the heart diagram when I needed to look at it. Eventually I just put her on my bed. The fluffy pillows led to her being incredibly disgruntled and upset, but some how, she dealt with being placed upon the mattress.
Now, I shall spew what's been posted this week. Muahaha. Haha. Ha.

Keep Calm & Paint On,

Sarah

We'll make it through another working day.

I need a holiday. The Days drag and I'm loosing my mind. But, at least I've been semi-productive.
Yeah, Scary, I know. I've finished sending stuff to the college I'd like to attend, emailed about double majoring, gotten government service hours (a graduating requirement) handed in. Plus, I've been slightly arty-farty. PLUS, I slept more last night than I have in weeks. That makes me happy.
Anyway. You get to see some of my arty-endeavors since last post. Such includes another portrait via a stock image, a doodle done with my tablet (as is the new banner,) and some other random doodles you may or may not like. As always, click to see them larger, the first ones being on deviantart.

Oh, and the last one scares me a bit. I'm not sure why I ended up drawing something like this, and was bored so I attacked it with watercolour. I dunno. I don't happen to be in love, and it's highly doubtful someone thinks they are in love with me. Pick your favorite fictitious couple, it is he and her.

Confused,

Sarah

Not Cedric, Frederick

I've done quite well, following my new year's resolutions. It probably won't last long, but hey. I gave it a go.
Anyway, below you get to meet my new sketchbook, Frederick. My Friend, Meg, named him. He's one of the 2 that I got for Christmas. A spiral bound black hardcover landscape sketchbook, that I usually draw in vertically. I gave him a bit of personality. Plus, you can see a couple of the pages in him. (I told you, lots of males.) Click the images for a larger view^^.

Loves,
