Anticipation

There is something I must face tomorrow that until now I had pushed below the surface. It's funny how God reminds you of your need for Him in the smallest ways. Rather than asking for Him to just skip tomorrow and go ahead to the next day, I need Him to guide me peacefully through each step. I need Him to guard my thoughts, my words, my actions, and especially my feelings.

Enough about that...

In my art 3 class we have been asked to pick a concentration. At first, I was going to go with the usual "pretty trees" idea or something rather simple, but as I thought hard about what it was that I enjoyed and what is what that I wanted to be drawing for the next weeks I began to picture something different. I sat in my room and looked around at the different things hanging up such as a Mexican tribal mask, a hand made Peruvian rug, and other random items from various places around the world and it hit me; I am completely enamored with other cultures. I noticed that not everyone shared the passion for different languages and colors used in other countries or the clothing the women wore when they traveled from waterhole to village and realized that it was just that which I would depict in all my artwork that year. So, since then I have been trying to somehow tie in the wonderful colors of skin and clothing with the emotions and desires of people other than my own culture. I probably make no sense whatsoever and don't really even know why I have a blog other than to have a use for the addicting keyboard on my MacBook because it feels so nice = ]
