the above piece is one of my favorites from my portfolio. it is one of my many pairs of converse in oil on a 16 by 20 canvas.on friday, mr. smith basically photographed my work for me, with a little assistance from me (thank you again). and i spent some time this week editing the photos, meaning cropping and rotating, and picking and choosing some to not be part of my portfolio and some to be a part of it.
this process sucks, i feel horrible about myself. while photographing, i was thinking that i didn have some work that i could send in and be proud of, yet as i picked and chose i came to realize that my work isn't all that great and i don't really think i have much to work with. perhaps this is just me being cynical, but i'm not feeling great about it.
i do have some hope though because i have yet to photograph a few pieces and my sketchbooks. most of these pieces i feel describe me a bit more and i like at the moment. so hopefully after this week i will feel better about my portfolio.
this weekend was a bust in terms of colleges in all other ways though. i have not touched my essays or any applications. i hope that if i talk to my mom she can help me this week after school, because it is getting closer to the time to turn things in and college is a bit more important than homework?
