Pain, painting, and passing time

Journal Entry: Mon May 15, 2006, 4:25 PM
It's been almost three weeks now since mom died, so I figure I should start re-emerging online for the sake of friends I haven't talked to in a while.

Despite feeling listless, more than a little lost and more heartsick with every passing day, I've found that my grief has fuelled an even fiercer passion for art. I'm not drawn towards my old cartoons and anime drawings at all anymore. On warm afternoons when I'm not working I just climb down the creekbank with a natural paper sketbook and brush pens and sketch for hours. I feel like I need to paint and paint and paint, on big canvases with huge strokes. I want to do abstract, and I've NEVER wanted to do abstract before. The downside, of course, is that the aforementioned canvases will never work with a scanner, lol.

At any rate, whether any new submissions come from my direction or not, I'm still here, and still functioning. Shout-outs to all my babies, and sorry I haven't been talking to anybody in so long! Love to everybody,

Mira

Aaaaah, I haven't gotten to talk to you in AGES!!!!

T-chan quit deviantart because she didn't like her artwork here, apparently, but there's a chance she'll return! She has a job now, so it's taking up a lot of her free time... I only get to chat with her every once in a while. *sigh*

Psycho feminism dosn't have any effect on me, aside from the giggles. Yeah that's prolly not the best thing to say but i know this young woman who was very "pshyco" feminism in high school, i used to get into verbal arguments with her all the time about various things.

I honestly doubt that you could say anything that would make me not like you anymore. Let me know how things are going i tried to ask erin about it but she knew little to none so if your up to it send me a note. I worry about you.

HAH HAH! AND I"M BACK. Gues what! i got a version of photo shop elements. i'm tring to learn how to draw line art on the computer as well as color and stuff. IT IS COMPLICATED! plus i don't have a pen so it's really hard to do it with a mouse.

I think i'm getting the hang of it, but good grief it goes so slow. patience has never been one of my strong points. anyways so far it's going good, i got to go check one of the tuts i favorited to see how to do shadowing, later tater.

and just cause i hasn't done it in a while. :glomp:
