In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on

- Robert Frost

So this is my final painting, inspired by the quote above and a song called "The Sun and the Moon" by Mae. Which if you know the song...maybe it doesn't seem like they go together all that well. I guess I've been thinking a lot about how we linger on the little things...but then again, sometimes the little things do become big things.
I've actually finished the painting, but I don't have a decent picture of it yet, and currently its waiting to be graded. It's actually not that different from this...it just has blue paint behind it now...

Monster Structure Paintings

So we had to paint this thing...I'd try to explain it better, but it's kind of impossible. It was just difficult. But anyway, we had to do one realistic big one (which I'll post later), and then a few experimental type paintings. These would be the latter. Nothing super, but I just don't have much else to post yet. So here they are:


Monster Structure as City
12X12
Oil on Paper


Monster Structure in Red, Yellow, and Blue
12X12
Oil on Paper

...More to come. :)

Waterfalls and bottles

- These are a couple pieces I've done for my painting classes. Both are in oil which is a new medium for me, but I think I'm getting the hang of it.

Broken tertiary assignment:
15X15
Oil on Paper


This is a still life we did a value study on. We're still going to work on them....just adding a touch of color here and there.
24X24
Oil on Canvas


anyway, here in a few weeks I should have plenty more to post.
