Idealism Overtaking Realism
Written by Teresita Blanco (The Artsy Sister)
This is another one of my silly acrylic painting. It took a little while to complete. I painted it on larger canvas. As of late, I have been painting whatever comes to my mind. I finally got around to hanging the last couple of paintings. I usually hang them with Velcro. I am not a big fan of hammering into walls.
There are some notable exceptions. The paintings by mother’s friend are a tad too big to be hung with Velcro. For this one only, we do get the hammer and nail. Don’t you find it a tad annoying to have people talking near you, when you are trying to concentrate? It becomes a little harder for bilingual people.
I usually lose my train of thoughts when I am trying to write in English and somebody starts speaking in Spanish. The long and short of it is that my bedroom is coming along rather nicely. I am distributing my paintings in tight locations. I want to use up the walls as much as possible.
I think this is giving the walls a bit of a crowded look. Still, it is my room and I plan to use it to the best of my decorating abilities. As for this current inventory, I had this idea for a concept a couple of days ago. I am only using the same types of acrylic paints.
I hope that by doing so, I will finally finish using up a specific set of paints. I am the type of fellow who doesn’t like to waste things. If I bought it, I plan to use it. It is foolish not to make the attempt. For the time being, I am waiting to see if my mother feels like going out to buy ice cream.
We prefer it from the ice cream place. When you get it in the Publix, you do not know how long it has been rotting there, or if was already melted by the time it was put away. I am going to get around doing stuff for the plants. I think they could use some water two days in a row.
The irrigation thing has its own issues. Still, I hope that it doesn’t damage the fertility of the soil in the long run. I will not have to worry about it for a couple of hundreds of years.
For the now, I have plenty of work to do. The main issue is that the grass is growing where it should not. Where it needs to grow, it does not. What a bother indeed. Moving along then, I hope you find this painting of mine somewhat entertaining.
