Small things
Monday, August 29th, 2005
Just for the heck of it, and because I miss it, the “studio” I left behind when I came to school. That’s my current work in progress, a pop art picture of my brother. Also in view, a weird thing I’m making Gina for her dorm room. Her color scheme is black, white, and pink, hence my color scheme. Only problem is, it sorta looks like Michael Jackson and that is NEVER a good thing. I never realized how lucky I was to have even that space until I came to school, where all I have is a very small desk that my computer takes up a lot of. Plus, I just can’t break out the paints here, because they’re too much of a mess. I took a lot of things for granted, art-wise. That being said, I need to look into a serious increase in storage space and organization of supplies, because that one little tower of drawers is not going to cut it for much longer. *sigh*
This is the companion piece to the other small landscape I painted. This one is also from a photo I took in Ireland, from an upper window of Cragganowen Castle, in Co. Clare. I’m not as fond of this one, which also took a lot longer than the first one. But whatever. I rarely (wait…never) paint landscapes and I almost never paint in this style, so we’ll chalk it up to a fun experiment and leave it at that. (acrylic, 5×7″)
