I'm generally a very indecisive person. No more is this true than what I'm about to do. I'm back on blogger! XD. I switched to wordpress for a while. Thought it was fine...but eh...not what I wanted or needed. So it's home again home again jiggity jig. And with a new name! Oooh lala! While I loved the name Crims0nScarf, it never felt final to me. It always felt like something that was just a placeholder until I figured it out. Well my public, I have now figured it out!
So time to catch up. Well, I started college out with a major in art thinking I'd go into photography since I couldn't do any other sort of art. Then I switched to art ed cause I really felt a calling on my heart to do that. And yet...at the beginning of this semester, it didn't feel right. I didn't feel like teaching is what I need to currently be doing. And while it might be a slightly more stable job, why would I geta job doing anything but what I'm passionate about? So I switched yet again. Back to art this time with an emphasis in painting. If you had asked me 5 years ago if I'd ever thought I'd be prepping to be a painter I would have laughed in your face. If you had asked me 8 months ago if I had wanted to be a painter I'd have thought you were insane. But good golly miss molly I freaking love it.
Last week I was killing myself in the studio working on paintings and ideas, as we only have 2 weeks left (internal screaming and panic). But within this week of freak outs, I found a new appreciation, and sort of addiction, for painting. I'm not always 100% focused (I'm currently writing this instead of painting if that tells you anything), however, I feel in a weird sort of calm storm. I feel all sorts of ideas and craziness swirling around my mind, but as I paint, it makes me happy. Much happier than I've been in a long time.
I've started doing portraits of close friends and messing around with mediums on them. For some reason this gives me even more insight into who these people are. I'm able to actually look at them without distractions or people or having to hide the fact that I'm sketching them. I can see all their imperfections and it is GLORIOUS.
I hope to post a few pictures once this semester is over of some of my finished work. In the meantime, welcome to the new and improved Crims0nScarf. The Ooddities.
