27 Canvas for my 27th Birthday
I’ve been feeling shitty about my upcoming birthday. Not because I’m getting older, but because another year has gone by of my useless, boring life. I’ve never accomplished much (except pushing myself to learn knitting well). I find people like Regina Spektor and think… damnit! I could have been accomplished like that if things were different.
So I wanted a goal to set for myself, something to do before I turned 27. Something I -can- do but is still a challenge. It took me awhile to come up with the idea, but I think I’m going to do 27 canvases by my birthday, which is May 29th. I need more paints/gesso and more canvases, but I think I’m going to go that route. I also was thinking of instead of canvases, doing a small blank journal specifically for this goal and filling it by my birthday. It would be cheaper to do the book and… I dunno, I like that idea, too. And it would be easier to share in person than 27 canvases.
If I do the canvases I’m going to count that one I did the other day as the first one because its just barely started. So I’ll have that and 3 others to get started on.
Hmm… Whitey like the canvas idea better but I like both equally as well. I bounced around a few other ideas, but its down to those 2 that I like best.
So if somebody out there could help me decide. :-p
- Book… cheaper, easier to share.
- Canvases…. well, they’re canvases! how awesome is that? :-p
*ETA* Also… when do I start? Immediately if not sooner, or on May 1st, or to where I have 27 days til my birthday and do one or more a day?
