Time to paint.

Family Tree

Here is the large-scale (72"x72") piece I made for Domenic's Concentrated Studies in Life Painting last semester!Details:


Now, time to start some new stuff....

small paintings

These are all smaller paintings I did towards the end of the semester, studies and quick observational sketches (except for the last one, which was done from a photograph/memory). They were all in the Holiday Art Show sale, and I sold one! It was my first sale in a more formal setting, very exciting.

final sculpture

My final piece for figure sculpture--I constructed a chicken wire armature, stuffed it with newspaper, and then fleshed it out with clay! I worked partially from a machette, imagination, and the model.

Studio and Protest

I started some small painting studies around the studio--it's a never-ending source of composition and colors!
And last Friday we had the "Artists Against Furlough" (fun day) Protest. We all sat out on 7th street painting en plein air, and demonstrating our commitment to our education. It was a big success, the Pres even brought us sandwiches!
some quick studies:
And that's all for now, I'm about to start a new canvas..."getting to know yooou.." :)

update

Here's the under-drawing for a painting I've recently started...it's still in the works, but I'll post more pictures soon!and my little corner in the studio :)

sculpture sketch

I am entering week 3 of of my last year here at Long Beach! Very exciting and a little scary. I'm taking Concentrated Studies in Life Drawing/Painting, BFA Caps, Figure Sculpture, Italian Literature, History of Drawings and Prints, and Comic Spirit. Whew! Here is a 10 minute sketch I did with clay in my beginning sculpture class last week--it kind of just looks like a blob...but it's so much fun! Like gesture drawing in 3D.

School is keeping me very busy, and I don't have internet at my new apartment, but I'll try to update as often as I can (which will probably be pretty often since I'm going to be living in my studio this year :)
