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!

Photography Application

So, most of you probably know I have applied to the Photography program at BYU and am anxiously waiting for the acceptance/denial email and letter that are supposed to come "during the month of April". Well, I think everyday I get more and more anxious for it to come. I'm to the point that it almost doesn't matter whether or not I make it, I just want to know! Ok, not really... I would much rather be accepted than not, but still! So hopefully in the next week or two I will have a post stating that I have been accepted, but we will just have to wait and see. I decided to post the creativity exercise I had to do because a) it took a long time to do and b) it is really cool! So, all of you can wait with baited breath with me to see what the results are...

Spring Jewel Kade

Spring is in the air, Mother's Day is approaching, and Jewel Kade has brand new styles! Janet is doing a huge show at her house on April 22 and she asked me to make a new mailer for her. I was really excited and loved the picture she took. I love working on Jewel Kade projects! It is so much fun! Here is the latest mailer...





I will most likely have more Jewel Kade posts after finals are over so you can look forward to those!

Salt Lake on a Sunny Day

Breezy and I went up to Salt Lake on Friday. We walked around Temple Square and then went to lunch at Olive Garden. We split the Venetian Apricot Chicken which was delicious! The best part though was the wonderful salad and breadsticks with Alfredo dipping sauce. We were definitely loving life! The sun was shining and we didn't have anything to do... well... sort of... It was such a beautiful day!

Real Daisies

On Thursday as I got in my car to go to work there were live Gerber Daisies and a note in my car. The note said "Nehmenglueck!" which is German for "Take Luck". It was so cute! I was really stressed out for the German test I took the day before. I was supposed to get them the day I took the test, but no one was able to get my keys before then. It definitely made my day though!
