Magical Mandy

OH SUMMER I LIKE YOU! These are a few photos from my summer activities which have been venturing into the city and acting like a tourist/trying new food, drum lessons from Sean/Lars/& Greg, more oil painting of weird creatures on old figure paintings, annnd although it has not been sunny AT ALL we have been utilizing our makeshift fire pit in our backyard by bbqing and making smores. isn’t this what summer is all about? i think so. I am so happy to have all this time to do creative things. I have even tapped into my subconscious by starting a dream journal. I have been drawing at work and I am doing a bunch of random stuff on half pieces of paper and putting them together on my wall in my room…so far i like it! the painting series is only getting weirder and I have been given positive feedback and encouragement to keep going with it haha. i really wanted to learn either the guitar or drums this summer and it seems that the drums is what is calling my name. I am stoked on them and when I went to guitar center yesterday with my roomies i hit ever set of drums and some little girl was showing me up and i got kind of jealous of her because she was probably there to buy her own set! anyways all this crafting and creative out letting is making me oh so warm inside, there’s something more fulfilling about these activities than any love i’ve had in my life.
