The long awaited letter...

My letter finally came, although with different words than I was expecting. Yep, I did not get accepted to the Visual Arts program at BYU. Sad, but life goes on. I have so many different options it is ridiculous! Who knows what I will end up doing! While I am sad, I can honestly say that it will be a good thing. Although, those of you who know how well I make decisions may be wondering how I am ever going to decide on something! But, never fear, I will. Thanks to my mom and Helen Keller for this amazing quote. Let's just say right now I am excited at the open doors that are coming my way!

Mondrian and Monet? Is it possible?

For an extra credit assignment in Humanities I was supposed to create a work of art that portrayed a missing work of one artist in the style of another artist. So, I created a Haystack painting (like one of Monet's many) in the style of Mondrian. It was quite fun to layout and paint even though it appears to be rather simple. Well, lets just say I have a new appreciation for Mondrian's art. It took quite a while to get all of the lines and boxes just right. I am quite proud of how it turned out. Breezy also did the assignment and did one of Degas' balleringa paintings in the style of Picaso. Her painting is pictured here too. What a fun assignment! I love art!
