a semester worth of paintings
"Hanna Gazelle"
This entry pretty much sums up what I have been up to in painting class in the winter semester.
For the antler series I am posting them in the order in which they were done. I only realized after why each one looks so different from the next. They are all modeled after art students, and I feel as though I subconsciously emulated aspects of each artist's process or colour palette or style. Weird, eh?
Also, all my paintings are sketched out from photographs I took. I never project or trace.
All paintings done in oil on canvas!
"Laura Deer"
The flesh tones in this one are actually more pink and lively. The camera does not do it justice.
"Meghan Elk"
This painting is the largest in the series. 4'x3' I think.
"Rhonda Moose"
This one turned out so differently from the rest because I sketched it out with blue paint instead of pencil and it ended up bleeding into all the colours [Stupid Laura].
"Evan, Age 16"
This painting is big. 5'x3'10"
"Distorted Self"
Another large painting. Forgot the dimensions.
I wish I could have spent more time on my paintings this year, but due to other ridiculously time consuming classes *coughceramicscough* I was restricted. Hopefully this summer I can get serious about painting and continue it next school year.
This is completely random, but Phil and I bought and built this microwave cupboardy thing today.
I am very proud of our work, it took far too long to build.
We also cleaned the apartment, and I reorganized the kitchen a bit, though most of you don't know what it looked like before.
For the record I am so, so exhausted. I feel like I have not been able to take a significant breather since the winter semester came to a close. Between Brockville, parties, socializing inside as well as outside of the apartment, cleaning, starting my summer semester, building furniture and tomorrow meeting my dad at the airport and having him over until May 6th, upon which day Phil and I will be traveling to Ottawa to attend the Heritage Art Show...well, you get the picture. I feel this strong desire to lock myself away with my boyfriend and cats for a whole weekend and just veg out to old films while eating unhealthy treats.
Oh, we found and signed a lease to a new apartment! We move out of this one on June 30th! I cannot wait.
