Oh I can title these posts! (duh) More Still Life!



More Japanese dolls...not quite finished. The shower scene sparked another idea for a body of work...drips! I love the way things look behind wet glass; the way the background gets fuzzy and the water drops become these little distorted reflections. Hopefully there is more to come....





Some in-class paintings from Still Life 2. This class got me started on a body of work that I hope to develop using Japanese antique dolls and masks.














Here are a few paintings from Kevin Moore's class: Surrealism, Expressionism & Stylization. (say that 5 times fast) A really interesting class, and I finally got to experiment with some expressive animal paintings. There might be more in the works if I ever have the time. The horse and dog were more like quick studies done in class. The pregnant lady was for a project which was supposed to bring together 2 images that created a dialog. As a more traditional painter I'm glad I have this class under my belt to get me really thinking about what I paint.

From Studio Landscape this semester...I miss plein air!




Adventures in Landscape: By far one of the hardest subjects for me.
