So this year has been a transitional year. I got a new job designing for a cosmetic company, something I never thought I would do. Those that know me know that me and make up or anything BEAUTY just don’t mix. I’m much more an outdoor sports type of gal (read my cycling blog unitedzoo.blogspot.com). Now I submerge myself in as much beauty, fashion, luxury and even eco-friendly material I can find online and off.
Besides turning into a beauty expert, LMAO, I’m also refocusing on my art. This year I promised myself to start painting again and get involved in art communities. I started the year w/an art class at LACMA, but I didn’t much like it. Sitting in front of a statue trying someone else’s technique wasn’t my thing. Instead I started a new acrylic painting. I’m currently working on a political type painting, which I’ll post later. Coming back to painting and getting the feel for the brush strokes and mixing the colors is great. After work I’m actually excited and can’t wait to start painting, such a wonderful feeling.
Another transition has been from cycling to indoor rock climbing. The cycling was getting to be too much of getting up early, lugging all my equipment, trying to be safe, and avoiding being hit by cars or falling, just too much. Now my interest is hiking and indoor rock climbing. More hikes, great views. Indoor climbing more muscle aches, which in the end kind of feel good and also keeps me feeling more balanced after all the beauty intake. Good way to ah… stay grounded.
Hopefully this year I will be better at posting too. I’ll try and post frequently on my artistic progress and cool finds.
Keep Positive, it helps :-)
