Besides meeting up friends and running the half-marathon, one of the things I did during the long vacation is paint, something I haven’t done for about 2 years.
Within days of arriving Canada, I quickly setup a mini studio in my sister’s basement among my nieces’ swing and trampoline set. I experimented with acrylic paint, a medium very similar to oil paint, and had surprisingly amazing results!
At times when I’m not meeting up friends or practicing running, I painted while listening to the familiar radio station. In the month-long vacation, I was able to complete 5 paintings, a very fruitful accomplishment for this experimental self-directing art residency program in my sister’s basement. I think I do have potentials to be a (starving) artist. ?
