Salt and Pepper

Red Lady

This is just the start of a pastel assignment, but I think the drawing turned out really neat, so I'm posting it here.

A Little Color

This painting was for another assignment. We were just supposed to have fun with color and use pure intense colors. I had so much fun with this. Hours went by- and I was just responding intuitively to what I was seeing. I think these are the moments that artists live for- when things just flow.

Projects and NEWS

So, I'm sorry to those of you who check here pretty frequently that there hasn't been anything new for a couple of weeks. I have had some interesting things going on. I had spring break for my classes- I thought I'd do some artwork, but I was pretty tired. Jake's birthday fell on St. Patrick's day, and we went all-out for the party. I made 14 Jedi costumes for the kids.

Here's the news: I'm Pregnant. Due Halloween. So exciting, but I've been pooped. I seem to be doing better than I was the past few weeks.

Nate was out of town all last week and I decided to take on some major projects. I completely reorganized the family room downstairs, moved furniture, got new shelves and a desk from freecyle, totally re-did my whole dining room set, and a bunch more stuff. I sanded primed and painted 9 pieces of furniture. All in all, it was totally insane. I had some great help from friends and when Nate got home it wasn't all a mess.

It's a little out of focus, but you can get an idea of how brave I was from the picture.

More Fruit Texture Style

My third assignment of the same subject, this time "high key" I decided to use a palette knife and had a lot of fun with it.

hands

I haven't posted anything forever. I was really stressed about this hand assignment. I thought I was going to get a C, but it was the first time in the class I got a solid A on somthing.
