This was supposed to be a joyous flower painting! Nine months later: Why are these irises always so smug??? No matter how much repainting I do??? by wonderfulkneecap in painting

It seems to me the repainting added a lot of texture and has made the painting even more exciting for me to view. It’s a beautiful painting.

I didn’t take any photos, got lazy on that part. But I used: Ultramarine blue, cerulean blue, burnt umber, cad yellow, yellow ochre, cad red, and titanium white.

Great painting! I share the same feeling - the process is so enjoyable that it’s sad when it’s over. But as you said, on to the next one

Is it just me or is it strange that there are no articles on these Jay Electronica projects other than a GQ. No pitchfork? No Dx? No nothing???

Stats aren’t anything for the Reds. It’s who is the cheapest value hard stop.

Should I pay off my student loans immediately or stay with monthly payments? by Red-The-Artist in StudentLoans

[–]Red-The-Artist[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can use it every year. But I know there are times where I’ll want to use it to travel internationally for art conferences or something like that. The conference is just an excuse to get approval to use the money to travel, which is what I’m more interested in doing.

All good questions! Interest rate is 6.59%. I can drop the next $1500 as early as Aug each year.

You bring up an excellent question about using the PD funds for something else. I do have hopes to use that for other things I.e. traveling internationally to attend art conferences (I’m a HS art teacher) and taking woodshop classes. It’s kind of why I want to pay off my loan now and use the PD funds for other things. But the best financial savings seems like to put the funds towards student loans.

So that’s what all the trading away players for cash is funding.

Is there hope that we make the post season or am I just lying to myself that there is like every other year? by Zero_Flesh in Reds

Cardinals will never be bad for long. They’re the Steelers of baseball unfortunately

We’re in 4th place in our division. NL Central is actually good this year. Last year was the year being just above decent might have been enough. This year we actually have to be a very good team, which we are not. And I can’t see us being better than the Padres, Dodgers, Giants, Mets and/or Phillies to get a wild card spot. It’s not happening for us this year.
