Mary Blair

        Today something interesting happened.  Well, it began yesterday.  I had a project due this morning, and I cannot begin to describe how frustrating it was to finish it last night.  It was my Alice piece, the one shown just a couple posts down from this one.  I had my sketch, all perfect, ready to go, and all of a sudden, I hit a wall.  No, not a wall, more like a boulder the size of Australia.  Unfortunately, I had to turn the piece in, unfinished, and very unsatisfied.  But through the confusion and frustration, came a great understanding of what I must do to make this piece really great.  Also, came the largest respect and love for the legendary artist, Mary Blair.  So there you go.  There is always a silver lining.  Even when you have to turn in a very embarrassing work of art, if you can even call it that.  I will now attempt to make Mary Blair proud.  Here I go!
