Jenna's House of Idiosyncrasies Version 10.0 [Focus.]

The Weird Experience of Separating You From You

October 14, 2003 - 11:17pm

So I have been working this evening on my self portrait, my first in paint, and since I have gotten very good about drawing from life but not good at making things up, about half way through my progress I actually went and put on the shirt that I am wearing in the painting.

(Mind you, this is a painting in progress.)

Upon approaching my work again, I had a brief flash of the feeling of embarassment you would get showing up to a party in the same outfit and hair as another girl.

A second later I reasoned with myself: the "other girl" is a painting I did of me wearing one of my shirts. I cautioned myself to keep my feet on the ground and sat down to work.

Jenna, Your painting is coming along very nicely. The hair looks great. I love how bright you made your eyes. That really draws the eye there. What's best of all is it isn't in the center. Centered and semetrical pieces don't usually appeal to me. I can't wait to see the finished product. Love ya and miss ya. Oh Yeah! Please come to my training show and bring your roommates OH! and Sam please come too.

Wait, were you going to paint over that? It looks really good so you shouldn't. i'll have Jenna keep me posted about your thing, Maggie. I saw you on campus one day, but you seemed determined to get somewhere so I didn't bother you.
