So today I stayed in bed listening to the rain until I couldn't fight my craving of coffee any longer and lazily spent the rest of the morning reading Post Secret and drinking from my dinosaur mug. Around noon I decided to finally watch The Fall, which seemed like the perfect rainy day movie.
Everything about this movie was beautifully heartbreaking. The story is set in a 1920's Los Angeles hospital, where a wounded actor befriends a little Romanian girl with a broken arm. To pass the time he tells her a fantastical story about a bandit, which we see filtered though her imagination. It's saturated with color and shot in breathtaking locations all over the world.
I highly recommend everyone watch this film.
Art classes update:
I completed my self portrait assignment on time and got some positive remarks from the professor.
A girl in my class commented that I looked sad in the photo, but it was meant to be a quiet moment of reflection. I wanted it to say something about who I am rather than just be a photo of me. My professor differentiated between the two and noticed how my body is a diagonal force against vertical and horizontal background. That wasn't even on purpose.
I also finally completed my still life painting. Well, we are moving on to the next project, so it's done unless I decide to work on it at home. I kind of don't want to look at it anymore though.
Here it is after about twelve hours of work:
I should've picked a different brown.
It might just be the rain, but I've been feeling a little down this past week. There really wasn't anything that happened, in truth it was a pretty good week. There was absolutely nothing to complain about. Maybe I'm just getting sick or something. It would probably help if I stopped reading poems and watching movies about broken hearts though.
I really don't need to be reminded of mine.
