Play

To me, play is much more than just a new action figure or x-box. Play isn’t some tangible thing that can be pinpointed, instead play is anything that makes you happy and lets you have fun. For me, play has always been about having fun with groups of people. As the youngest of four children as well as the youngest of 10 grandchildren who live near me, I would always play with others. This meant everything from a heated game of Monopoly to wilderness camping to a competitive sports match. This variety let me see that, in a sense, everything could be related to play even if it didn’t always seem like fun, a mentality that sticks with me to this day (although I’d still much rather play sports than do school work).

For my third piece I was quite rushed which ended up with a product that I was disappointed in. After spending hours painting black and white, I wanted to again have color in my paintings. My third painting was based off of the background of my computer screen and my intent was for it to be a low hanging Japanese maple by a pond. The finished product resembles my goal, but I wish that I had allocated my time differently so that I could truly call it a “finished product”.
