Out with the old

Today's task is to sketch and resketch my new watercolor painting. I have finally decided what to do with my $18 sheet of watercolor paper. The new piece consists of a diner and a bride. I am going to do my best to combine my art portfolio with my future photography portfolio. I am sick of painting mundane images of cowboys and things that I see everyday. I want to incorporate new ideas into my artwork. I want to make art.

For the last three years I have focused entirely on creating a cohesive portfolio for Tarleton (consisting of nothing but cowboys) and I have neglected to make ART. Therefore the art I create this final semester will reflect my roots (vintage settings) and the statements I want to make as a photographer.

I am anxious to get started on these ideas, so that's all.
