End of semester dump

Didn't get around to painting today like I had hoped and decided to photograph some stuff from this past semester. Most of these are studies done for Nature Drawing, plus a page of minute gestures from either Figure and Ground or Life drawing from the semester before and a litho.

Well, so much for more consistent posting. I swear, I am still working though! Admittedly it took the better part of a month BUT! there is a painting in progress. Will get around to posting some images of that later. Maybe. I do have a bunch of drawings from the end of this past semester. Those will probably go up in the mean time.

In other news, I have this painting and the four from the previous post in a show! If you happen to be in the Poughkeepsie area, check it out at the Twisted Soul restaurant. Very good food, plus my glorious work in person. Also the work of some other people who aren't too shabby but really mine are the main highlight :) Oh god I hope people buy something, I really need to get more paint D:

Some recent pieces from a series. I don't think I've really talked about the independent work I've been doing in my two painting classes yet. The two paintings in the last post were some of the first in this series. They started out being based on images I found of plant stem and cell structure, though they have since become these more automatic biomorphic forms. I am really excited about this project and the results so far, which generally never happens. It scares me a little in a way. Still, it's been pretty exhilarating. Let's hope I can keep it up through finals

Spring Break!

Figured I'd post some things while I finally have some time to myself. The top two are current works in process for my Figure and Ground class, the other two are some quick studies from Life Drawing last semester

Figure and Ground Studies

Nature Drawing

and another

Final piece for Color Abstraction that I reworked over winter break and now looks completely different from when I handed it in.
