It's Going Down

It has been forever since I updated, but I've had a lot going on. I've been out of school long enough now too want something to do, just in time to work on decorating for Vacation Bible School and to start my first ever summer class! I'm posting now because I'm getting ready to start painting animals and make a waterfall for the class I'm working in for VBS and I realized I had a method for getting ready to paint.

How You Know When It's About to Go Down!
-I will have coffee in my penguin mug, no other mug will do
-I will be listening to one of 2 playlists on iTunes: Michael Cera Music or Operation Dinner Out (if you get that joke then I love you)
-The weather or news is on even though I have it muted
-There are multiple old towels, paper towels, and bottles and cups of water
-I drag out every blank canvas and unfinished art piece, as if I'm going to paint them all in one sitting
-Finally, I lock my dog out of my room so he won't lay on anything and end up with a painting on his back

Just thought it was interesting how I always do this, especially the things that really have nothing to do with painting at all. And it's only when I'm home. I don't do this at school, but maybe I do have a method there too. Hmm, curiouser and curiouser.
