finding an image

[Elaina]

So I'm moving all my pictures across computerdom and everything so all the images I have are enormous. I guess I just feel like if I take up that much space it's conceited or something, but I think a self portrait is the way to go, and the only one I have is a page outta my painting journal that I ain't even finished painting yet, really.

So, get ready for a bigness.

So that inner critic can shut the fuck up right now, I'm tired and I look at my stuff and sometimes it's beauty takes my breath away and sometimes all I see are the fuckup parts.

This is the first time I ever painted a face with paint, and didn't just draw one. I'm getting better at the nuances, and I can't go for more than a couple hours without at least thinkin about paintin.

Ok, so I just fell asleep at the keyboard. Think I should go to bed now. Hope the image ain't too big. Too tired to sincerely care.

Long live art!

Seriously, inner critics do just need to go away. I'm thinking about writing mine a "dear i.c." letter... in the form of a bunch of art, yes.

I love everything about this painting...
