Day 316: Posterize Oil Painting

Oil paintings should be thick. That's what my art teacher said. Yeah, mine isn't as thick. So maybe I'll try and paint it over and over again to hide the little mistakes and imperfections I don't want anyone to see. Which reminds me... we all do that don't we? We see something we don't like about ourselves or things we don't want people to know about, so we paint over it. We paint with makeup, clothing, attitude, facial expressions, etc etcetera. Sooner or later, you sort of build yourself up with lies. Whatever mirage/illusions we've made, eventually you are going to realize that reality will always catch up. You're gonna want to be real with yourself. You're going to look at the mirror and ask, "Why Am I doing this? Why Am I painting myself with things that aren't me?"

I guess it can all sum up to the fact that reality will always dominate fantasy. That's the brutal truth. You want to be happy? Be yourself.

Does this make sense? Maybe I could've put it in better words. Ugh. too lazy.
Anyway, this was just a thought. -____-
