A shift of attention..

I found my spring break pretty uneventful, but was able to get into my studio space and mind frame more than usual. As I turned off the nagging of other school obligations, I found myself able to think and focus on my art and myself a little bit more. This could be a good or bad thing, as I am feeling more introspective now as the school schedule starts up again.

I definitely jumped around alot creatively over break.
I bought some new paints and somehow that was enough to get me going at times. 

I went back and worked on a few pages I made earlier in the semester until they felt finished.
I created a new spread in response to the movie event "who does she think she is" and my own issues with balance.
I also started the larger canvas piece that I had been putting off. I'm working over an unfinished painting. It was nice to not have to cover a blank white space. I was thinking I could use the piece for the spring art show, but that is still undecided as other ideas roll around in my head. Strangely, I decided to work on the canvas upstairs in my studio instead of on the easel I had set up downstairs. For me, the spontaneity of working any time I pleased on it, with all my supplies present works much better than planning a time to lug it all down to the easel. My new easel has become the window sill. The canvas fits perfectly! How ironic.

I also got distracted at times as my space got messy and I was compelled to reorganize the overflowing amounts of collage images that I've acquired throughout the years. Now they are beautifully categorized in zip lock bags.
