Honorably a winner

The opening of the student art exhibit was tonight and I WON SOMETHING!!  I just got an honorable mention with a $30 gift card to Texas Art, but it was still really exciting!  There were a lot of really cool pieces, including one by my good friend, Miryoung Kim, who got her design on the exhibit poster card! (Yay, Kim!!) We both got interviewed by a videographer so stay tuned for a video!

There were a lot of people and the awards were presented outside while it started to mist, but it was fun, none-the-less.  I’m so excited about everything!!  This is the first time I’ve won something art related!

Suction

Midterm project.  We had to find an artist we could resonate with and paint something inspired by them.  I picked Michael Carson. I admire him for his use of minimal brush strokes and his loose style. However, my painting didn’t really turn out as influenced as I thought.  But I still like it.  It went through four phases.

First, I drew a rough idea onto a large piece of paper.

Second, I drew it again on smaller paint paper and painted it out to get a better idea of what it would look like and see what I needed to do with it.

Third, I drew and painted it again, but this time changing the color of the octopus to make it look like a octopus.  I really like this one.

Fourth, I painted the final draft on a 24″x30″ canvas.  Now it is in the student art exhibit at my school until April 30.

More Poppies

I went to The Mad Potter the other day with my sister and painted a mug!  I was just saying how I wanted a bigger mug because I want more coffee, more tea!  And now I have one!  With Poppies on it!  You can never have too many mugs…

So far, I’ve painted 2 mugs, 1 teacup and saucer, 1 bowl, 2 cats and 1 egg.  Maybe I’ll post another “blast from the past” post and show you the things I’ve painted at pottery painting studios.  But I don’t have those pictures ready, so for now I’ll just show my latest creation.

Yeah, the splice isn’t the greatest.  I just quickly shot the pictures and thought of doing this after I put them on my computer.  Oh well.  You get the idea.DSC06787

It’s the details that count.

An octopus has got a hold of me!

I bought a new PFD (Personal Floatation Device), but it is the same as the ones we use at the camp I go to.  I could have just written my name really big on it, if I were a normal non-artsy-fartsy person, but I’m not, so I drew an octopus on it. Now I won’t lose it amongst all the identical bright yellow ones.

“Hey, have you seen my PFD?”
“Which one is it?”
“The one with the octopus on it…”

I can see it now.

Anyway, like all other things, I started with a design on paper:

I can’t wait to wear it to camp!
