2D Methods: Mixed Media

I was really happy with what was in the Tis the Secor. My family enjoyed themselves even though I had to kind of push them a little to get them talking about the works. I'm also happy with adding the extra flowers to it, I think it helped incorporate the material I used at the top to make it feel more balanced. Having my two canvas boards (the brown one and white one) also helped to show my family that humor I was trying to convey with that piece as well as the face cut out. I think having it in the darker area also helped with that. Stephanie's heart box with the red glowing light also added a mood that I wouldn't have been able to do without it so I am happy that she placed it where she did. I know it is a little off topic but I'm grateful for the Tis the Secor show. It got my family here to Toledo on their own accord (I didn't have to ask them to come) considering this isn't their favorite thing to do. Even so, I was able to get them talking and I was amazed by their views of all the work including mine. Regardless of the fact that I think they had more fun at dinner afterwards, it was the first time my family actively chose to be a part of this art world that I love so much and for that I am very very grateful.
