Ok, so before we get to the art, I need to say some things (it's kind of a rant but not really?)  So, for those of you who follow horse racing, specifically thoroughbreds, you may have saw that Arrogate raced this past Saturday...and finished off the board.  Now, I think Arrogate is good, but to a point.  The only reason why I wouldn't like him is because of Baffert (he acts like Pharoah never even came to his barn), and I get a weird feeling about Juddmonte farms (idk, that might just be me.)  Anyways, those would be the only reasons I don't fully support Arrogate.  But also, the fan base.  Which I think they are cool, don't get me wrong, but a lot of people make Aroogate and his accomplishments bigger than they really are.  Which does seem hard to do, but that's what I think.  So then when he loses a G2, everyone hates Arrogate.  Ok, I don't hate the horse even, if you hate the horse, you are not truly supporting the racing community (I hate to say it like this and be blatant but I think some people need to hear it) someone who supoorts racing wouldn't turn their back on the horse (not even the team) that they like because they lost ONE race.  So many great horses have lost races, Secretariat, Man O' War, Pharoah, Zenyatta, just to name a few.  So next time you want to hate a horse, at least have a legit reason, losing one race isn't a legit reason.
Also, I feel like Arrogate losing was a "good" thing because it brought people down to earth, I'm hesitant to use good, but I don't know how to get my point across in another way.

Ok, sorry, I'm done, anyone who doesn't like what I said, fine.  I've only ranted about horse racing seriously twice so this isn't an often occurence.  Anyways, to the real point of this book, the art.  So, I am currently in confirmation, but I'm not catholic, you can look up my church, it is the United Church of Christ or UCC.  Anywho, for our confirmation class, you have to do an expression of faith.  I don't want to get into too much detail but you have say what you believe in at this point and you can say it through writing, music, dance, art, anything.  So of course, when my pastor says drawing, I look at my friend like 😏.  But as I am planning this out it is really hard.  It is surprisingly hard to express what you feel about the trinity and stuff in art so that people understand it.  Like I want people to think about it, but at the same time, I feel like they won't get the message then.  So, as a backup plan, I did write something.  We need a draft my like mid August of what we are doing.
  So for the art, I saw these optical illusion paintings that I have fallen in love with and I kind of want to do something similar.

  Of course, mine will not be that detailed because this guy has been doing these for years.  I am still not totally sure of what it is going to be, but someone is going to be like the girl in this pic doing something, sending it out, then the optical illusion is what I haven't figured out.  I also haven't decided whether I should use my pencil that I have been using (HB, Ebony, Layout) or if I should use acrylic paints.
