Art Exhibit coming up
_________________
So the art exhibit, HandiArt, will start Wednesday at 10am and finish off Friday at 16pm. Oh man, I'm looking forward to it, but I'm also nervous... all that socializing just isn't my cup of tea, but it's something I have to learn. From 10am to 17pm I am not allowed to leave the exhibit - for 3 days in a row! And tomorrow I have to go and put up my artwork too... so that's basically four days of non-stop socializing, probably resulting in a brain meltdown and very sore feet. But also a hopefully interesting and giving experience.
I hope to sell something, maybe one of my poetry collections or even a painting. But it's not that important, the real essence of this whole thing is the experience itself. I'm just always short on cash, LOL.
All of the artists featured suffer from either a mental or physical handicap, and I find this exhibit to be an awesome initiative for the 'less fortunate', bringing them together and telling their stories - including mine. Art is everything. To me at least, it's the ultimative freedom of speech.
This painting I finished a couple of days ago. It's a 30 x 40 centimeter canvas, painted with acrylics. I wanted to try something different and experiment with colors. Faces aren't my strong side tho. I don't know if I'm happy with the motif itself, but I'm happy with the colors.
TITLE: "Passion"
Other than that - I am sick and tired of this damn heat!!! It's 30 degrees celsius here, and in my apartment too. Poorly isolated, I'm sweating on the brink of a heat stroke in summer and freezing my ass off in winter. If only I had known this BEFORE moving in... I'm not sure I would have taken this place, if I had known. I have arranged with my dad to make some screens for the windows - my cat can't go outside, so I have no choice but to secure the windows. I think I'll have to make a screen door as well tho, because my windows face west.... no wind most of the time. God damn it, I'm melting... makes me annoyed and generally turns me into a bipolar bitch. Dammit... can't wait for proper autumn to set in. *Le sigh*
But luckily I know that the place of the art exhibit is a well isolated, old building - nicely chilled.... phew, can't wait.
Wish me luck on the exhibit!
