- I -

At first, it seemed simple. I could even say that I thought it was going to be easy.

"You have to create and maintain a blog throughout the semester for 10% of your final grade" my teacher told the class, maybe not in those exact words but you get the idea. That is when it started, I (as usual) started to over think about what I could possibly blog about, sure it could be anything but that didn't help the situation for me. That meant an endless amount of options, and I enjoy a lot of things. Did I want to blog about something that I had to do research on? Something that I could use in the future? Take the opportunity to learn more about my industry? I had absolutely no idea, so I waited and waited until the following class the next week. 

All of my friends in class had come up with their ideas, and some had already even made their first post. Great, now I was behind. So I decided to just ask what they thought I should do, and TADA the idea came (not from me personally, but I'll take the credit) why not do something about art?

So here I am, my first blog post for 'The Paintbrush Files'.

Don't let the name fool you, even though I will probably talk about some paintings, I will also talk about a variety of different forms of art with a wide range of mediums.

I have loved art, since well.. I can remember. I used to be that weirdo kid in elementary school who would draw my teacher pictures (for fun). Then as the crazy high school years came I realized that art was not only a really awesome and easy credit, but that it was a lovely way to express yourself. Now here I am, still loving art but I have been dabbling in to the many different forms when I have the extra spare time in between school and work. Needless to say, I am actually excited to share this with someone, whether someone is really no one or just my teacher.

Hope you enjoy!
