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).

My first painting took me the longest of the three, yet it is by no means my favorite. My goal in the painting was to try and create an accurate looking tree in a landscape that was atypically simplistic, and idea I borrowed from another painting of a tree. The painting challenged me more than I thought it would and it showed me that maybe painting trees was a bit harder than laying down some brown lines and green dots.
