If I had more time on my hands, I'm afraid I wouldn't know what to do with all the paintings I would be cranking out. I just LOVE IT!!! I highly encourage anyone who has any desire at all to express themselves through art to just go for it!! It is fun and exciting to create things that express who I am and what I see in the world around me. It is even more than fun and exciting, it is truely life giving. Below are some of my latest creations...
This is my take on a self portrait. I really wanted to find a way to express the way that I feel so many moments and people in my life have all collaborated to create what I am today. I cannot exist apart from all those people/experiences and the way I move out into the world is directly related. So this is my best shot at that. This project brought forth a lot of emotion for me.
A closer look at the pictures that compose my head.
After getting this far, I was really tempted to stop. I just loved the look of the painting without adding any of the pictures. There's a bit more drama here. But in the end I decided to add the pictures because it just got more at what I was trying to express. (I'm still kind of considering going back and painting over the pictures....a work in progress I guess.)
This was just a little project for my friend Bronwen who just had a baby girl named Sage. I loved the name so much that I looked it up and found the most amazing definitions...so that was my inspiration. (It's kind of hard to get the effect of how it actually looks because of the flash on my camera.)
I finally finished my ABC project for Isaac's room. I love how it turned out. Isaac loves his letters.
