Getting To Know Me.

 This all so new to me. Bear with me. I'm a young adult who sometimes refuses to get with the times. So blogging may take some time for the writer and the viewers.
  Art seeps within me. But I refuse to acknowledge some styles as true art. I'm old school with what I do.  My paintings are traditional and true to its form. Perhaps I lack the acceptance of  some art because I lack the skill to create it. Pity.
  I'm starting college in a week. How exciting, no? So as I attempt to fully discover myself in these next few years of my life, I chose to start off on this quest with a major in Psychology and a minor in Art. 
 Why did I choose to combine Psychology and Art as my studies? The combo seems to cling onto each other nicely. When an artist creates a work of art, they seek to make the most of their creation. In some cases, psychological turmoil is experienced. Remember Van Gogh? The ear cutting artistic genius (The more famous of the many artists who experienced such turmoil). How was he able to create such work and still remain sane? He wasn't. I made my point. I'd use myself as an example of such an artist experiencing turmoil but I have yet to experience such drastic measures. Maybe throughout this blog you'll have the opportunity to get a taste of that unexpected turmoil in my life. But hopefully you wont have to and if it does happen then hopefully no ear cutting will be involved (or any cutting in general).
