Anyone who actually knows me (Cory) will know that I did these oil pastel drawings way over a week ago so I am almost caught up. Wooooo!!!!

Side note. I am not bad at writing but lazy. I like making. Accountability is cool though.

Other side note the interim exhibition has made me really think about how, when I am being reflective, I should imagine having to show it, cause I really saw the flaws and improvements to make and in a lot of my work when I started to think about taking something other with me.

Moving on….I tried oil pastel for the first time. Plus points very messy, lots of fun, quick medium, colourful so yay, and I like to draw, could make big things easily, lack of control, lack of detail and so less precious. Negatives, I have seen others use them with more layering – how, I think I wanted to use them to see if I could paint, never have, don’t know why I equate the two things. Not sure if I will go back any time soon but they were very cathartic so possibly.

As for subject matter I have been very sick recently and when I am sick and tired I just want to go home (which I think means safety) even when I am at home, so I did houses. I also felt sad so I did hearts and pins in my head. Made it pretty though. I didn’t plan the images so they just came about of their own accord.
