UTAH!

The latest update on my life is that I moved to the beautiful state of Utah! Woohoo! I will be here till I go back to school in the spring. I am living in south Salt Lake City with Alanna and Kurt. Alanna helped get me a job at the Golden Door Spa in Park City. Which was really an answer to my prayers. I was really worried about finding a job. Its just another example to me that God answers prayers through people that surround you. I am very grateful for that:).
This is the first time in life that I have not lived in Idaho so I can check that off my bucket list:) I guess that Utah is not that far from it but its very different for me to live in a big city.
Thats all for now

LOOKING UP!

Hey peeps:)
A year has come and gone too quickly again. But the beginning of a new year is refreshing. A new year pretty much kicks you in the face and says "Hey freak! What the heck are you doing with your life!!!??? What happened to all your goals? YOUR A SLACKER! NOW GET YOUR BUTT IN GEAR!!!." Well ok maybe thats not what it says to all of you but that's definitely what it says to me.

I have always have so many excuses for not finishing things I started or quitting, but I basically decided that that is lame sauce... so I am going to change my silly ways and move forward. I have not set any resolutions really except that I want to be healthy: physically, mentally, and spiritally. I want to be free. Free from negativity, cravings, additions, illusions, and incorrect perceptions. Its not who you are that holds you back but its who you think your not. I think what we all want is be free from all the things that are weighing us down. Yes, I know that it is easier said than done but I am currently making a plan. A plan not to not quit. But more on that later...


So lets look up everyone. Up at a Father in Heaven that will help us with any worthy goal we set out to achieve.
Peace and LOVE,
Britt

because I had the best day with you...today:)

Me and my roommates out on a farm.
We rode horses for my roommates birthday! It was fun but my horse was kind of ornery...
Deanne and me.

We are just a bunch of crazies! I love them a lot. Conference weekend was a blast. We went out to Archer and ate at Big Judd's, for Elisabeth's birthday, between sessions. And no I didn't get one of those massive burgers... Then after conference we went and rode horses. I then went home to be with my amazing family. Watched my little sister's soccer game, ate smores, woke up crepes, and picked apples. Not to mention hearing from all the apostles and our Prophet, Thomas S. Monson. It was a wonderful weekend with my family and friends. I am so thankful for all the people in my life and the guidance and happiness that comes from belonging to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Life is such a beautiful and amazing thing! Just look around at all of God's beautiful and endless creations that we enjoy everyday. I have learned that if you take time to enjoy those small but great things then you will always feel God and always feel grateful. Take the time. Enjoy the day.

I like to color!

This is where I spend my days... The lovely Spori building (the art building). I love spending time in this place. At the end of the day I walk home happy knowing that I am doing exactly what I love and will be able to carry the experiences I have had here throughout my life.
This piece is about our transition throughout life. The blue darkness represents our fallen state. The orange light represents the light of Christ. We all have the potential to be angels, to spread our wings, and return to Christ.
Oils-monocramatic. Assignment is to and portray a sense of mystery by using color.

Drawing, Drawing. Drawing.

Figure drawing. Hardest class ever!
One of my better drawings in the class. I think I need to take it again!
Still life... I drawed it cuz I am a drawer. That is a word! Drawer!
We got to draw our shoes! I love shoes!


So I had this idea... Snowflake in your eyes. I didn't execute as well as I would have liked because it was finals week and I had to do it in like a night...but yeah this is scratch board.
Learning about light and shadow and how to turn form:)
