roses of my eye

i am finally going to start doing the figure today and should be finish by tomorrow... i should have strted yesterday but wasn't feeling up to it... anyway... after i'm done i can just fill in the blank spaces with more roses... i just don't want to think of how to make it look nicer with more vines... well... back to the workroom

progress report

painting the roses is taking a really long time.. mostly because i've been a bit lazy... well... a lot lazy... anyway... upon looking at the whole paintings... i've realize that some changes had to be made on the background... so now.... instead of a flat color background... it has some monet effect... hope it won't look too cheesy... anyway... i figured it should take me about two days to draw the figure which is the one i've been looking forward to most because it is the easiest... so that should give me two days to finish the petals... i'm hoping i can/able to finish by tomorrow... i've decided to do the petals all over instead of just half the painting because with the repainting of the background... it now looks strange to have the roses with just one side... maybe i would try to minimize in order to finish it faster

what i did today

i started by planning to spend the whole day to work on my painting... sometime around eleven when i had just came out from the bathroom with a fresh cup of water (for the paint) my brother called and ask if i wanted to go to ikea with him... he just got back from australia so he's not too good with driving directions... pitying him... i went along... hoping to catch a movie or something while he's doing his shopping... unfortunately... it was in the car that ifound out that he only wanted to buy some frames... so basicaaly buying frmes only takes so little time... not enough to go for a movie... that's for sure... tried hinting to him about going to see something afterwards... no luck... besides... being a guy i doubt he would be interested in 'the proposal'... (i've already watched g.i. joe so i didn't want to go again) anyway... by the time we came back it was after three... i though i would finally be able to paint some... went online and managed to get myself stuck in cyberspace ... anyway... finally did something just now... i painted the second layer and the effect is just the way i wanted it to be... but i don't think i should start on the seecond layer for the other two canvas since i want some of the paint from the second layer to influence the third layer... considering the time straint... i probably won't do a full third layer... maybe just half as in just half a bed of roses...

new goals for now

i know... i know... the plan was different... but for now... i'm trying to do something else... i'm going to finish this new paintings that i'm working on... hopefully in time for the compatition... maybe i'll win... maybe i won't .... you'll never know... i'm hoping by being different (or if people think it is different) it will merit my work... but the way i'm planning to do it is kinda tiring... so much to do... so little time... anyway... for now i'm going back and forth about the title... either bed of roses or face on paint... i started with paint on face but now i'm thining that bed of roses might be better... but normally my first instinct is better than the next which is why i'm doubtful that i should change
