Final Touches on the Final Painting
At the beginning of the July, I competed in the YGK (Kingston) Art Battle Finals. Surrounded by the most supportive friends, this round of live-painting was another incredible experience.
I was 1 of 12 artists competing in the city finals (earned my space by succeeding at Art Battle 98), and 1 of 4 artists painting in the final round of the YGK finals.
Even though I didn’t win, I discovered just how much I enjoy live-painting. I was not graced with a strong singing voice, but I’ve always been drawn to performance. Through Art Battle, I’ve found a way of making visual art also a performance art. Without a doubt, live-painting is something I want to keep working on and participating in.

Just me and my painting (and well, maybe 100 other people)

P.S. It really did feel it was just me and the painting. Strange things focus can do and make us forget that there are other people in the room.
