Arty stuff
Just got back from an art exhibition by the local artists club. There were some amazing paintings on display and I would have loved to purchase a few (even though they were framed in the most hideous frames) but the ones I liked best were around £150, so that's not gonna happen lol. It was great to see the way the different mediums had been used though and very good to see the different techniques acrylics (my medium of choice) can be applied to.
Was thinking about joining the group, but I dunno, I don't think I'm that skilled in what I do to be honest. It's not like when I was producing the amazing graffiti art of my teens. It was encouraging in so far that this (incredibly good fantasy painter) told me that natural skill accounts for maybe 10% the rest is practice & hard work. It was also slightly discouraging to see such great work on display when my dabbling is very much inferior by comparison. *sighs*. I dunno, think I'd be embarrassed to go and have my work compared to others. Now, my writing...maybe that's a different matter...not sure.
It reminded me that I've still got two paintings to finish for Ed *facepalms*. I'd put them aside because he was flip-flopping on the wording. So, I think next week, I'll give him a call and see if he wants to meet up to discuss them.
Funny thing is, you'd think seeing those paintings would inspire me to get out the easel and paints. It didn't. It did however inspire the muse for the lgbtfest fic that I've been struggling with lol. We went for coffee and I sat and bashed out some of the dialogue on my mobile lol.
I'm not sure how coherent this entry is, I'm still doped up on painkillers and I'm tired even though I slept for 16 hours o.0. Mikey was a great pillow last night &hearts
My brain is bouncing here there and everywhere, even if my body is incapable of doing anything *rolls eyes*.
Oh, my knee x-ray results are back but there was a note that said I have to speak to the doc about them *frets*. So, I have an appointment to see him next week. I'm wondering if I might not need a brace for it or something, these last few days when I've not been well it's been going quite a bit on me. I'm just lucky I haven't hit the floor with it.
It's lovely and sunny but I don't want to sit outside...this is strange!
How are you, my lovely flisters? What've you been up to and what are your plans for the weekend.
