Done.....

So I'm really freaking tired and have been working on college essays....still. An I'm not sure if the concentrations are actually due next class because of the snow day, but they're "finished" (ish). Oh! And it was super fun winning those awards from Scholastic! Thank you everyone for congratulating me. It really felt good and made me feel special. (Though you totally should have gotten an award Claire). Ya, so I'm going to bed now. Sorry for Being boring. Oh! And here's one of/ actually I'll show you both of my pieces. And I don't know how to rotate those, oh well...

So....

So I don't know if a blog update or comment is due, but I'll do when anyway. I'm so tired...well, I am coming close to a finish with my charcoal piece and like the progress that has been made. I really missed drawing, but believe me, I miss painting just as much. And I'm going to have a photo shoot for my other piece that will incorporate my barbie as a self-portrait. Oh, and so far I've been accepted to SCAD, CCA, SFAI, LCAD, CalArts, Alfred, and Otis...but have no idea where to go as I have only been on the campus of SFAI. FML. I don't know what to do! Still....HELP. -Love, Ashley

Currently...

Currently I am working on a charcoal piece, yes, charcoal, not oil pain...shocker! eh? Well, everyone seems to be hatin' on the oil paint, or at least the lack of diversity, so now I am going to use different mediums. Anyway, I kinda missed drawing. But now that I am drawing it is killing me inside to not be painting the luscious colors of the human flesh, but I think I can make it. I am also using the Barbie project to my advantage and am doing a photography piece self portrait comparing the Barbie and I. My concentration is turning in a different direction than expected. I'm not really sure if I'm happy about that, but apparently I need to show growth by trying new things (by doing thing I did before painting). Oh well, I think it will work out and my portfolio is already in. Oh! And I got merit scholarships from CCA, SFAI, and LCAD so far. So, just waiting to hear back from the others, but I would be happy going to any of those schools, the trouble is choosing. I'm so nervous! Gah! TTYL- Ashley
