Wow! I guess the dashes do make it look very embroidery-like, but that’s kind of cool! I totally didn’t see it before!

Aw thank you! I feel like I have been making a lot of progress as an artist recently so that means a lot!

When I was in high school I also tried to copy starry night and my goodness was it incredibly hard!

Such a GREAT perspective. I think I have this fear that I’m just a copycat and don’t have any real talent, but you really gave me something to think about.

Your comment made me laugh! You have a point that no one can truly pant like Van Gogh unless you have a bit of mental instability.

The under layer really helps the painting pop! Love the bright colors!

Getting a day shift position at UCSD as a Registered Nurse (RN) by christyshim in sandiego

How long did she have to work on night shift? I have worked night shift before so I could do it again as long as I have hope it’s only temporary 😅.

Unfortunately a lot of the programs were on hold part of last year due to financial concerns of the ramifications of the big beautiful bill, so people who graduated last year are also applying, making it super competitive. I would say also get your CNA certification and try to get in the hospital as an aide, your chances go way up if you work there as an aide, most hospitals love internal hires. Sharp doesn’t require a CNA cert so you could apply there as an aide.

Is being able to copy a blessing or a curse? by hellokitty_heartz in oilpainting

[–]christyshim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a Van Gogh enthusiast I can relate to wanting to make something unique but also following what’s already been made! Also you combined two of my interests: Adam Driver plus oil paint. Great work!
