This one is for class again, we are studying the "grisaille" method, which is a black and white under-painting, with color glazed over top. The picture I'm painting was taking by my dad : )

Finally Framed

"Birthday Blowout", colored pencil, about 19 x 25 inches

more progress on ballerina

2009-10-07T10:58:00.000-07:00

I decided to make my ballerina purple, I'm really just focusing on lights and darks and blending the paint, not trying to represent actual colors.

Abstraction of Degas' Ballerinas

2009-09-30T12:49:00.000-07:00

So I have decided to use this blog to post my art-in-progress, with the intent that if I know people are checking my progress, then I will be more motivated to work on the pieces and not leave them when I become distracted from them. I think this will help me strive to complete every piece I start, and do it to the best of my ability.

This painting is 24 x 36 inches, and is for my painting class. The assignment was to take an image (I chose one of Degas' ballerina paintings) and re-arrange / abstract the image. And as we are painting them, we are focusing on chiaroscuro (light on forms). Some of my shapes are still recognizable, while some have become more abstract and unrecognizable.

Here is my first blogger post! It's kind of sad that my mom, dad, aunts and cousins all started blogging before me, being the web designer and all. Maybe that is because they all got the writer's gene and I got the artsy-fartsy gene? Hopefully I will have some good stuff to post on here, but nothing is coming to mind right now....

Although, I did just injure my foot yesterday - jumping out of a moving golf cart. Not the brightest idea I've ever had, but it made for some good laughs. My tres amigos of the foursome went on to finish the tournament, while I watched from the golf cart with an ice pack. After the prizes were given out (none for me - shocker) we made the half hour drive back into Omaha. My brother couldn't miss his Packers beat the Bears, so we had to drop him off before taking me to the ER. Finally after all the waiting and x-rays and waiting, the Doctor finally comes in to tell me "well its not broken." Great, a wasted trip to the ER. I guess I do need the crutches they gave me, but I'm pretty sure a trip to goodwill or craigslist would be cheaper than the bill I'll get in a month for my crutches and complimentary hospital grade ice pack.
