SUNday rise.....The lords day

It's been a sec since I blogged, life's been pretty hectic dealing with work n people. Taking the time today to appreciate life n everything in it, especially the people in it...cause they all have something to teach me, whether it be life, something about myself or opening my eyes to a greater world out there. 

I figure the really intuitive people out there could care less of what happens out there in the world, n just enjoy life...a world of distraction trying to make you chase things that isn't practical, which in turn makes you unhappy. We all trying to do good for those around us in the end, be a good citizen in the community...it boggles my mind why people feel the need to compete with each other. Either your dependant on attention, or your insecurities scare the shit outta you so u need to dominate those around you. We all have a unique talent/skillset to offer to the table, creating something out of that is important to the evolution of the mind. What we project through our thoughts creates our reality...as one or a group. That's what you call consciousness. 

The more you read on a subject from more than one source the more likelihood you start picking up on things instinctively, n reading between the lines. Looking at an object at just one angle limits the perspective. Food for thought. GODspeed. Clarity.

Saturday morning grind.....

Spent the day volunteering at the Eminata graduation ceremonies for #VCAD today.....Got to hang out with some good folks and help out. Feels good to give back, cause it does come around. 

Friday the 13th.....

After today's classes, I felt a harmony amongst the team...everyone working together, helping each other to be better and connect with the surroundings. Respecting each other and looking out for each other's well being, it was amazing to see such a team dynamic...at the end of it all there was a few things that came up that questioned my role in it all. There is high expectations of me and the things that I have put into play to get done. I know this and I wake up everyday to step up and get what I need to get done to move on to the next step. So I stepped back and reevaluated the situation and those involved to understand who they are/what they require/their aspirations and what I can provide to help those around me. Sorting through these thoughts with a friend on the sky train ride home, things were looked at all angles, possible solutions, and surveying the options of moving forward. It made me feel overwhelmed and a point my friend had asked if this was too much to manage and that maybe I should make a choice whether to cut back on the commitments. I replied I've come a long way to get to this point and have everything happen the way they have...I am suppose to do what I'm suppose to do right now, and things have hit a junction only because I am suppose to grow as a individual from this opportunity. That I will not give up on something I started, and will continue to pursue my dreams through thick and thin, no matter the obstacle...just then we seen a white bird flying out the trees, never seen a bird like that before but it was familiar. My friend stated it was a white dove. I froze and said this is a sign from the forces beyond who watch over us, symbolic in nature. Something inside burned inside and I knew the reasoning behind it would be available if I googled it lol. Found this link and to a tee it explains the milestone I've reached today, Friday the 13th. I want to share this with you. #Godspeed #HA!

Class last night.....

Did some drapery studies yesterday in Lifedrawing 3 class last night.....That was interesting. Understanding how each fold interacts with each other for overall feel of material draping on subject. To capture a natural look was the challenge.

Woah so Trippy.....Seen a ghost earlier

Woah just finished talking to my landlord n got sum history on the house...

Well earlier after my SUNday group I came home, came inside n went to unlock my door. I opened the door n sensed someone in my room, my drafting table is in front of my entrance so I walked in, my chair was turned around I felt a shadow get up (short in stature) n walk right through me, feeling a draft as it did. I froze in surprise but wasn't scared kinda like that moment where you're thinking no way caught by surprise thing. So I dropped my keys n backpack n looked around the room, nothing amidst so I paid no more attention to it anymore. I was more excited to lay out my UV textures on my model then anything. So fast forward a few hrs later, I go outside in the backyard to take a break from work n see my landlord Tom. He's cleaning up around n starts to talk about finishing up the rents on the house, how much time n energy has been invested cause it's an older house...over 100 yrs old.

The house was owned by a British educated family, an old lady had lived here, sweet lil old lady who was an artist n was the president at BC railway or sumtin. She liked her wine n was close to her neighbours, family...she died at the age of 94. I then proceeded to bring up my encounter with some sorta spirit in my room, Tom was like no way. I was positive cause I seen what I seen n Tom had mentioned she was a short lil old lady when she passed, she was an artist which gave me this weird feeling that perhaps what I had seen could very well been some sorta ghost or such. As though she was at my desk doing Sumtin, maybe drawing doing art?! So he then has this this moment of realization, you know what John she lived in the room you stay, that was her bedroom.

Found out her name was Elizabeth Mitchell she loved to read, sometimes till 2am every night...that was too Trippy.

Guess she wanted me to know that she is here.

Afternoon spent in Maplewood Farms.....

Got some animal studies done today with some practice to capture animal poses in an efficient manner. Well before they started moving so much, it was a challenge no doubt to get everything laid out and getting reference for the rest of the study. It was a beautiful sunny day today so it was ideal to get some drawing done outside.
