I aim to use as many textures as possible. Recently I've been wearing my magnifying glass around my neck in search for textures that we would not normally see and have also been paying attention to the small strip drawings in children's books at the beginning or end of each chapter which has encouraged me to add boarders around the drawings. These are the sorts of small accenting drawings I plan on creating. Some more things I plan on practicing though my drawings, collages, contrast (to help understand the middle grounds of light and dark), still life, and most importantly, will be practicing the basic human figure (in the form of Native North American clowns).

pecans
I feel like there was not much intention behind the painting on the right. I have learned a bit more to create a focus for the painting before I begin and this painting didn't necessarily have one. I began with imitating the texture, shape, and size of pecans (lower left corner) and from there I was just looking around my room for ideas from different textures. It is too congested for my liking but I do like that all the parts seem to be connecting and that they have a wide range of colors. At the time I painted it, I felt that a wide range of colors was necessary. I was sitting listening to music ( a tape with Native American chanting) next to an window which was open to the early spring weather at the time.
I wasn't able to crop this picture, so there is another painting on the page that I didn't mean for it to be put up.
