I just want to paint

I found out today that a paper I thought wasn’t due for another week is due Tuesday and I am going to Carrie’s this weekend. Looks like tonight is going to be a late one. I’m going to try to get most of it done before the weekend and then finish it up on Sunday and Monday.

I’ve been painting this picture of a grand piano with all these reflections on it from windows and It’s not done yet and all I want to do is paint. But I never have the time. I’m hoping that after this paper is over with I can finish up the painting.

I Got this great idea for a painting I want to do this summer. In my MUS250 class, Dr. Robinson told us about this Islamic childrens story that is basically… when God created man, he told the soul to go into the body, but it refused. So he had the angels play music. The soul had no ears and couldn’t hear the music so it went into the body so that it could have ears to hear it.

Though that story isn’t exactly theologically correct, I think that it is a great picture and I want to get a huge canvas and paint a very colorful picture of a man looking up smiling with all these great colors around him and his ears as if the soul had just heard music for the first time. I’m gonna need to buy a whole bunch more paints and a big canvas, but I think it will be a fun summer project type thing.

Anyways. I’m about to leave work and head to math… ew.
