Blank Canvas.

A blank canvas is kind of like a bad relationship. It can be extremely frustrating or put you in the happiest of moods. This thing about a blank canvas is that it tricks you into releasing emotions that you did not even know you wanted to let out ... or at least for me anyway. Today I was faced with an overbearing blank canvas. I just sat and stared at it for hours having no idea what could possibly draw. Yes, I look forward to the time I have in my own little room to develop my passion but it was ridiculously annoying today. So I asked my best friend what I should draw, to which he responded "your dreams" Now of course I took this literally and megan to draw me sleeping thinking about some weird swirly things: a pac man, Winnie the Pooh and a couple of other doodles. But then, the canvas begins to pull more out of me. I began to draw all of my real dreams. Being a baker, writing books, becoming a photographer. while the first line is somewhat pointless (a tongue for my pac man), but the second ended up representing the path I would like my life to take ironically. Without getting to much into the more personal aspects of it, this piece was really eye-opening to what a blank canvas can do for you.
I chose to leave this one on pencil today just because oil pastels are not the best for drawing thin, short lines. Unfortunately this made the piece hard to see online. Sorry about that guys.
