Vision Board

After a spiritualist told me that I need to paint or draw to have some creative release and an eye-awakening experience at work, I went to Michael's Craft store and bought what I would describe as a Beginner's Acrylic Painting Starter's Kit. For less than $20 I bought an acrylic sketchbook, a set of paint brushes, and a set of acrylic paint. I don't know if that's a good deal or not, but I find it affordable. Sure, I won't be taking the bus for the next two weeks. But I think it's worth it. I'll post pics when I'm able.

It's certainly not a work of art, but it makes me wonder why I've procrastinated on it for as long as I have. In fact, painting was never much of an appeal for me. But ever since the spiritualist suggested painting or drawing, the idea of the richness and vivid colors from paint, specifically acrylic, inspired me. I used to believe that I wasn't creative enough because I can't draw. But this time around the idea of paint being abstract is what appealed to me.

I'm not ashamed of my work, but I'm not comfortable saying I'm proud of it. It's a little scattered and clearly experimental. It's evident that there wasn't much thought into it, but it demonstrates a level of rigidity and curiosity. Through that process, though, I now know what kind of other techniques I'd like to use in the future. Instead of using scattered images and focusing on small details, I want to just paint without limitations. I think I can get there.
