what moves you?

One symphony (or a dozen) is all I'm asking for....

I bet you (Es, who are you talking to??! hahaha) love (for lack of a better general description) "classical" music. No, no. Don't disagree (and don't try and find someone who doesn't if you don't disagree). Here's a mini-schooling. . .

Free of charge:

I (and you should, too) ♥ .....BACH (Yo Yo Ma is truly an artist. You're not into string? Download Cello Suite No. 1 and see if you change your mind), ROSSINI (albeit he does sing this as a bird, Robin Williams is awesome), TCHAIKOVSKY (V conducts it best), RACHMANINOV (Bill Murry has enough time to master it in that movie no one but me liked), MUSSORGSKY (Scared me to death as a child in Fantasia), BEETHOVAN (gotta love Schroeder), MOZART (the music lock in Willy Wonka ♥), DEBUSSY (I'm a sucker for a vampire that can play the piano. lol. yeah... I went there), WAGNER ("kill the wabbit" always makes me smile), COPLAND (beef! this was one of my favorites to play), LISZT (daffy vs. donald. lol), and not last or least BOCCHERINI (for some good ol' quartet music).

So.. for my next project, I won't be creating anything new. Instead I'll be recreating Bach's Prelude. . .on my violin.

Whhaaa???
Yeah, I've got one.

You could hardly say that I play since I haven't in years..

I downloaded the sheet music....

Oh crap.

Well, maybe I could work on multiple projects at once? lol
That way if this one doesn't get finished for, let's say, a year from now, then at least I can still work on other projects...

Maybe I should leave the regurgitation of a quick-tempo piece like this for the music majors.

I could paint a pretty picture or how I feel about it though. haha!

I'll attempt it never-the-less..

Looks like fun ♥
I'll let you know...

longest 36 hours ever

I've gone all summer (July) without a scrap bit of news (blogging)!

Aww... don't be that girl

Sometime you've just got to break for your own birthday.

So... on to the current project. (Well, it's finished now)

Needlepoint Canvas Template Painting (it's a mouthful)

After 24 cumulative hours of work I'd done a lot of layout and planning..

and I'd gotten this far with the paint...

And then I was sent back to the drawing board to add a whole lot more stuff.. I didn't take progress pictures. I was too focused on painting ...stuff. My nose was stationed no more than 5 inches from the canvas the whole time (apart from the times I paused to take a step back and make sure it was turning out ok). Not the most enjoyable job but I definitely learned alot. He's a couple close up shots and the finished product. Enjoy.

And my final result is the longest 36 hours of my life......... (but as long as my client is satisfied)

It's definitely "crowded" as requested. I'm waiting for feedback....

PATIENCE

I was rushing to the end
But you're everything I saw.. again
I was hoping to pretend
I was knocking on heavens door.. my friends
But I was just a fool.. caught up in the game
Everything was cool.. believing in my name (instead of His)
And when the sun came out
I couldn't find the shade.. but I am not afraid
Of the light anymore

(K-OS)

just another change to the page.
I guess when you're looking for yourself it's only normal to be restless on the way
BLOOD to blue
Who knew I'd change my mind so much

I think who I'm looking for is you

1 time affair

I don't usually do this

but you know the type...

"Oh! oh! I want a lion too! Paint me one! I'm FAMILY!"

And....

I had a professor in college (I feel so old saying that) that once told me to never charge family members for work done. :-/

ALRIGHT! FINE. ;-)

........I have this other project that I'm supposed to be working on...

A PAID project...


Eh. I can't resist a request like this. She actually bought a canvas from the store and was like please paint ME a lion too!

...so I did


and a few hours later I gave it to her. It's 22x28 (she called that large) and it's been said that this one is better than the last (sorry bay. I think yours is still pretty awesome though)



Here's the finished product:


Enjoy world!

in the days of Radiohead

Somehow everything is changing. I just wish I knew what was going to happen next. What I really want is to express myself

(AND I CAN'T EVEN REALLY DO THAT HERE)

What kind of vow have we made that although we're not supposed to go back on, we do.
I hate being cryptic.

I think about what love is all the time. I mean, I live to love. But what I don't live for is waiting around for what I think needs to happen when it probably never will anyway and I'm left disappointed and disappointing. I don't want to let you down but I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU EXPECT FROM ME

if i consume this am I doomed? If i eat this will u see me differently? does it matter?

(i don't think so)

No one has anything important to say today.

(including me)

We're all just waiting for someone.

Me? I'm waiting for you to need me.
can't have enough of me.
just want to be around me.
wait for me to say it.
act on how you feel about me.

or at least i wish it could be easier for me to pretend its not hard (like you)

I'm not coherent when I'm think tired. You know that...
