I will be taking Beginning Ceramics during June. Hope to take some photos of those creations. Am excited to try a totally new medium.

This little pastel is done on Pastel Card and the gray is the rough raw surface. The tomato was sitting on my laptop. Title is "tomato on an apple".

This is the final Cape Perpetua oil painting, done with palette knife and brushes on masonite. It got chosen along with two other paintings for the UAS Juried Student Art Show going on now at the Juneau Arts and Culture Center (JACC).

I have not been good about blogging....mostly because our computer died. But now i have a new one :)   Am still painting. Will show a couple paintings done this spring '09 semester. This is a painting from a photo taken by my cousin, Tim Srofe, of Cape Perpetua on the Oregon Coast. This isn't actually the finished painting. i will take a picture of the final work and post it here, too....for comparison. This was done part palette knife and part brush - oil on board.

First painting on panel

This is my first photo of a portrait study of our model Alex, using oil paint on panel. He posed for three sessions. Interesting to paint on "wood" panel, it is kind of slick with the first coat.




This is the finished piece and i
pretty much like the way it turned
out.

Finished Lamby

This is the finished painting....to see from the beginning go down the blog. Wish i knew more about how to work this blog!
