It's Friday, Pumpkin!
It's been a very, very long week indeed. If you don't already, I highly suggest that you start reading a little something called Post Secret. It'll have way more energy at the moment to tell you what Frank's all about.
Here's to you Mim :)

Two Schools
I'm often conflicted at my new school.
On one hand, the Old School teaches me quality over quantity, chroma saturation, thin painting styles, and clear cut penchant for color mixing.
On the other, the New School teaches quantity and size over quality, lots of paint- so much paint, gooey-goopey-thick "expressive paint", and a trial and error way of color mixing.
It's sort of hard to take what the first gave me; forced into me, and still allow some of the latter to filter in. What do I give up from the first in order to accommodate for the second- do I have to give up in order to filter in? Can i have it all? I think only time will tell.
