PLEASE FULL VIEW. I let it in its original size.


Okay.

There are so many things that didn't happen with this, but I really don't care anymore. I don't think I'll ever get around to fixing it.

I am as much my maker is a very personal philosphy. I have to continually remind myself that I am the one who controls my future, who'll I'll become. It is my responsibility to get there, to succeed. If the Big Man (aka God) is real, and he's laid a path for me, I better use both my feet and walk it, not sit around and wait for a wheelchair.

With the three vectors, I wanted to show inner-ness. I know how retarded that sounds, but that's about it. The last frame is one of my most favorite ever done. It's one of those never-ending circles; I paint me, who is really painting myself. Hard, but I understand.

The places around me are the ones I'd like to visit on my journey. Most of them are anyway. Clockwise from right, starting with the grey rock and city:
The big rock a has no purpose. I don't even know where it's at.
The city is a combination of things
The city (mostly all) is in Canada. When I first put it in, it was like the rock: only for show. Now that I think about it, I'd really like to go to Canada.
The tallest building is the Crysler Building, my most favorite structure made by man. I think it's a gorgeous piece of art, and I'd love to see it up close. I drove by it once, but...anyway, it's in NY.
There's the St. Louis arch, too.
I don't know where the green rowed filed is from, but now I think it'd be cool to see.
Ditto for the desert
and the waterfalls.
Now, the Pyramids at Giza (Egypt) are floating at the bottom of the falls,
and the Three Gorges Dam (China) right below them. Some people know that I love dams.
The grass field/fence are unknown.
The Acropolis (Greece) would be the grandest thing.
Easter Island (province of Chile).
I'm (the girl with umbrella) acidentally standing in front of the Eye of the Needle, Montana. Unfortunetly, the awesome site was destroyed by vandals in 1997. I'll never see it.
I don't think the sandstone cliffs were important.
But at the top is the Colosseum, Rome. I've seen it already, but your eyes can never have enough.
The Bridge at Ronda, Andalusia, Spain. The Bridge at Ronda connects two sides of the city.
The Temple of Ramses II, Abu Simbel, Egypt.
The Great Wall of China
Stonehenge, Salisbury Plain, England.
Rialto Bridge, Venice, Italy. Again, I've gone under this, but it really is a marvel.


I've borrowed the boats idea from What Dreams May Come, one of my all-time favorite movies. I now have this fantasy that, on the 'road' (hence, the river with a double-yellow) to where ever we're going when we die, we get there by boat. We're ferried.

I'm sorry for such a long discription. The was a class assignment, and I'm pleased. The whole situation with the umbrella was the idea of paint..

I love paint, and it's properities.

I'm afraid of it. I'll neve be able to paint, but I can paint my own landscape with promise and possibility. I think because I fear it and love it I wanted to incorperate it. It's beautiful, soft, creamy, and if something goes wrong, you can always paint over the problem. That's why I'm there with an umbrella. I'm observing, creating. The paint turned out utterly dumb, I know. I was going to try again, but meh...

I'm very proud of my ghetto eclipse. I had a ball making about eight hundred.

Peace.
