Never Trust a Mirror’ by Erin Hanson was written to remind readers that one’s reflection, or what they look like, is not an indication of their self-worth. None of us are perfect. None of us look perfect either. The truth is that perfection is just an illusion. We are perfect just the way we are. Perfectionism is all your imperfections. Perfectionism is you. Personification: the speaker personifies the mirror, suggesting that it is intrinsically untrustworthy. One has to assume that it’s going to lie to them, she suggests.In the first lines of the poem, the speaker begins by noting that it’s important to “Never trust a mirror.” Mirrors lie to use when we look into them by suggesting that what’s on the surface is the only thing that matters. One’s glance at their reflection may indicate to them that they aren’t beautiful or aren’t worthy of being appreciated for who they are on the inside. I've read Reverie before buying this one and I feel that her writing skills are getting better each time. Erin Hanson’s mother’s name is unknown at this time and her father’s name is under review. We will continue to update information on Erin Hanson’s parents. The first step is to decide which elements I want to focus on in my painting. For example, I could decide to focus on a brilliant sunset sky, in which case I would make the foreground indistinct and dark by contrast. I could focus on the different colors I see beneath the waves in a coastal painting: here I would dramatize the size of the waves and the various hues of green, turquoise, blue, and purple, using the white foam as contrast. I might focus on the abstract shapes of light I see between the branches of an ancient oak tree. In this case I would select which branches to paint that would make the most interesting series of negative spaces. I compose all my paintings to communicate a specific focus within the landscape. Chinese Zodiac: Erin Hanson was born in the Year of the Rabbit. People born under this sign are nice and good-mannered. They're always forgiving of other people's mistakes, which at times can translate to naivete and gullibility.

If we read these lines closely, we can understand that Hanson is telling us to appreciate ourselves just like we would appreciate anyone else dear to us. Often, we observe the small things in the people we love. We observe their mannerisms and behavior and fall in love with them repeatedly for the small things they do or say. While reading these lines of the poem, it almost feels like Hanson is urging the readers to love themselves the way we love others. The topics can be a bit cringe & Tumblr-deep that's why I'm only giving this book 4/5 stars but honestly Erin Hanson is such an underrated poet. Love love love poetry that actually rhymes as opposed to modern popular free verse poetry. It takes so much thought and intention to convey a meaning so precisely in sentences that rhyme (added difficulty!) and it takes talent and taste to present it in such a beautiful artistic manner. I can only dream of having such a way with words and such an immaculate sense of timing. Even though the book had no theme and was a rather random collection of Hanson's poetry ( just like #1) I liked the clean format and the switches between longer and shorter poems, although that is nothing special. Erin Hanson was born in 1990s. The 1990s is often remembered as a decade of peace, prosperity and the rise of the Internet (World Wide Web). In 1992 the first text message was sent, DVDs were invented, Sony PlayStation was released and Google was founded. Oh, and the Soviet Union fell and boy bands ruled the music charts. Discover what happened on this day. Some of my favorite poems from this book are Monsters, Empty Spaces, and Welcome to Society. While these are some of the more depressing poems in the collection, I found that they spoke to me the most. Likely because of the classic rhyme scheme that reminded me of the children's poetry books that I used to read. But I also found that the way Hanson talks about mental heath and some of the "Monsters" that are in here head were a perfect way to describe the way that many kids in my generation are feeling. I went to a small private school, where I graduated high school at age 16. For 10 years at this school I had the same art instructor. Aside from valuable lessons in technique and theory, the most important thing I learned was to open my eyes and draw objects as they really were, not draw my assumptions about them. We did a LOT of drawing and painting from nature and still life, and I did hundreds of repetitions of drawing my own face in the mirror or drawing my own hand holding the drawing pencil, drawing itself on the paper (M.C. Escher style). It was all this practice painting realism that allowed me to eventually simplify the complexity of what I was seeing and develop the minimalist approach that I have today.

Naturally, you won't like all of her poems as much. I've never read a book of a poet and like each and every poem written in it. Also, I believe that, depending on the person you are, what you've been through, your emotional makeup will influence the poems you'll like. With this project Stephanie hopes to remind her girls and the rest of us that life is magical and that we should always think big – what if you fly? I think most of us have witnessed the social media community come together around crises and social issues, and I hope Stephanie’s project will be another beautiful instance of community engagement and support. I like to experiment with my paintings, trying different techniques and effects with the paint to create a more stunning visual image. One painting that I experimented with turned out so well that it influenced my style from then on out. This painting was called Crystal Light, painted in 2013. I loved the way the tree branches formed a mosaic, stained glass imagery, perfectly communicating the way I perceive light filtering through trees. Zodiac Sign: Erin Hanson is a Cancer. People of this zodiac sign like home-based hobbies, relaxing near or in water, helping loved ones, and dislike strangers, revealing of personal life. The strengths of this sign are being loyal, emotional, sympathetic, tenacious, persuasive, while weaknesses can be moody, pessimistic, suspicious, manipulative and insecure. The greatest overall compatibility with Cancer is Capricorn and Taurus. Very relatable and easy reading. Erin has a skilled way of rhyming and each poem has a good balanced rhythm while reading.

Open Impressionism is best described as abstracted, contemporary impressionism. The brush strokes are loose and expressive, conveying a sense of movement and transient light. Because the brush strokes are applied alla-prima, without layering, the paintings have a mosaic or stained-glass quality. The underpainting is allowed to appear through the brush strokes, giving the painting a sense of underlying light. When I come home from an adventure shoot, I have thousands of photos that could turn into paintings. I start by printing out several reference photos of the same scene. Then I use pencil sketches to test out different compositions that might work to best communicate my “focus.” Rarely can I use a photograph just as-is. I often move around strong compositional elements, like trees, or take hills from one photo and merge with the foreground of another photo, for example.However, I and many readers can testify to Erin Hanson's skills because with many of her poems she is able to reach hearts. It's a skill to write well. But it's an even greater skill to touch the hearts of readers. And I believe with poetry, that's what counts. Erin Hanson is an Oregon-based artist, considered to be the originator of painting style called "Open Impressionism." [1] Her landscape paintings have been shown internationally and at solo and group exhibitions and museums worldwide. When I paint, I want to capture the joy I feel whenever I surround myself with nature, and I use composition, textured brush strokes, and contrasting colors to communicate pure aesthetics. When I paint, I lay down my brush strokes confidently and boldly, trying to recreate the freedom and spontaneity I feel out of doors. I try not to overlap my brush strokes, getting each stroke right the first time. This keeps my colors pure and alive. To me, the beauty of the outdoors is all about color."

Now, of course there are poems in here that are better than the others - but that's to be expected. You're not going to love every single one equally. Though I will say, they are all beautiful and I didn't dislike any of them. Everyone who’s ever told me that it’s helped them in some way. I know how much words can help people, so if mine have the opportunity to then I’m happy. Open Impressionism is unlike any other painting style and truly stands by itself in the contemporary art world. While inspired by the impressionists of the past, Hanson has a more expressionistic manner of painting, and her works attempt to recapture the emotional content of the outdoors, instead of merely the light and forms of the landscape. While Open Impressionism was developed over the span of 20 years and certainly changed as the artist experimented and refined her techniques, there are some basic hallmarks of Open Impressionism that we can take note of.

My painting technique is done with expressive color and loose brush strokes, in a wet-on-wet technique known as alla prima. Alla prima comes from Italian, literally meaning 'at first attempt' and is loosely applied to any painting that is done in a direct, expressive style. Since you create one painting every week, who or what do you turn to when looking for sources of inspiration? I'll probably try to finish the series, because I hear the next two are most optimistic. I am definitely interested in seeing her growth as a person, and I think if I saw the overarching development of her character, I would relate to these poems much more. I started writing silly little poems when I was around 11, but I didn’t take it seriously until I started my blog in 2011.
