Love Was Lost to the People of This Place

I've been having a lot of trouble with this piece, partly because I am terribly at landscape painting... the outdoors is terribly chaotic to the eyes, and I try to make sense of it, but, there is just no sense to be made. I think this is great progress from what it was, but it still has a long way to go.

I have a few more limbs to paint, and then fixing some things in these, but its certainly coming along!A fun little painting of my window!

I started a new painting of my kitchen looking into the bedroom, but haven't photographed it yet, and its definitely in the beginning stages. Exciting, though!

Part-Time Employment Has Potential for Awesomeness.

So I had two great interviews this week, after spending Christmas and the days immediately following it, in New Jersey catching up with awesome people! I hope I get one of these part time jobs, and that it will be just enough to keep the art-cooker up at full blast, while making some cash too!

My abstract guy installed successfully inthe bathroom!

Finally tackled the other me in the Medusa piece!

Its amazing what a difference there is, documenting work in artificial light. But, you get the gist of it. I am thinking about totally redoing the background. I took some awesome reference photos at the PMA last week... I need to do some digital sketching!

Choo-choo!

I got a decent amount done on Medusa, which is great because she was giving me a lot of trouble earlier this summer, and I was extremely frustrated by it. I'm still playing around with the columns (references from the Philadelphia train station).
I've still got a lot of work to do.
But I think this guy is done. He's for my bathroom, just a little something to brighten it up (ok, so the room is bright yellow with an almost rainbow shower curtain, whatever).
I really liked working on the pieces for Lauren this summer. Although frustrating at times, its good to just think about color and form, without anything to limit you. I am still limited by them, though.

piecing it together

So this is what I got done last night. Again, not finished, but on a roll.

New Beginnings

So I am officially on Holiday! Although I am applying to jobs and keeping busy!

I was suppressing all artistic negativities for the past two months and neglected to post these images which I did in fact do before then. They are not finished but should be posted nonetheless.



I will be reading art history and literature, as well as painting frequently these next few weeks!

Also, the light was nice on the building across the street, and I took a photograph: does it look familiar?

I am going to paint today! Cheers!

Dexter

Painting I did of Hans a few days ago, but was too wet to photograph.This has a little more to go, but its almost there.

I started watching Dexter again last night. There is a repetitive thing with a sliced up barbie. I had seen the first few episodes back in January I think. I wonder if that image sparked this project. Interesting.
