Settling In

After working on art over the six day weekend, I think I came closer to finding a suitable concentration.  I was doing movement, but I realized that everything I liked or was tending to paint was movement in the face.  Expression seems to fit what I'm leaning towards.  The two pieces I did for this concentration check were more about deciding if "expression" is what I want to be doing.  They aren't my best pieces of work, but I think they convinced me that this is what I should be doing.

Now focusing on expression, I enjoy doing large faces.  I want to work with contortions some and get away from just smiles.  I do not want it to turn into an emotion concentration, so sticking with funnier expressions is probably a smart idea.

I started working on the pictures work of art project.  It felt like everything I took was posed to fit the prompts.  I would like to have a majority of the pictures be sparatic, so I might have to carry a camera on me more often.  I'm going to Atlanta in a week for a swim meet, so I think I will have some good photo opportunities there - I have a lot of time and can easily carry a camera on me.
