Counting Blessings & Staying Aware

 A lot has happened between May and now. But I'll count my blessings in the form of how I have gotten a bit more involved locally, including a nice gallery showing at the local Juneteenth festival this year, which was nice! I'll have to add those a bit later to this entry...

 

Otherwise, things have been not too eventful in my life other than some good opportunities coming here and there. I still need to be a bit more consistent in showing my work at least online. For some reason, I find it so much easier to talk to people in person, where I've gotten used to carrying my physical portfolio with me wherever I go. I find that very useful even in this digital age. I'm around a lot more senior aged people, so they appreciate something in their hands a lot more than a mobile device, even though I know many of them who do have smartphones. Though, as a young adult, I appreciate those kind of analog things, too.

 

In the meantime, I should try to type up some reflections on the culture or even some art related things a bit more for my site here. I have gotten through learning some more art related things as of late, especially with exercising and comparing how certain traditional techniques in watercolor and acrylic compare and contrast with each other on top of how that translates into digital works. My brain is really enjoying this comparison, so I am really excited to do a lot of ideas and not get hanged up on being a perfectionist, but a bit of a scientist to experiment. That's where I am most happiest in experimenting, and that's the most helpful mindset in beating perfectionism for me.
