TBT: Painting I with Gary Gee

I can't remember when these were done, probably in 2007, the really awful one may of been done in 2005. I initially hated painting these still-lifes but now I think they're fun and I'm glad Mr. Gee challenged us to paint all these lines and shapes. Class: Painting I Professor: Gary Gee

TBT: Some of my early color experiments.

Scanned some of my very first gouache and watercolor paintings/experiments. I'm hoping to reclaim some studio space in the house so I can work on some paintings this summer. I love playing with color. The blue star is from my color theory class and was done with gouache (2004). The other two are water color experiments from the one water color class I took at JSU (2008). There's nothing like looking at old work to help you realize how much progress you've made as an artist. lol

Tintypes with Frank Hamrick

I'm in love with tintypes! I had such a great time at Frank Hamrick's tintype workshop today. It's been quite awhile since I was in a darkroom. I found it incredibly soothing and I enjoyed playing the part of chemist as we coated and developed plates. This was also my first time using a view camera and while it looked mighty intimidating it was actually quite simple and quite fun. Now to hunt down a view camera for myself and to start planning how to turn my basement into a darkroom.

Mural Project: Completed!

At long last, after tons of setbacks and a whole lot of hard work the Little Tree Preschool mural project is complete. It turned into a major pain when most of the people that volunteered to help were a no show but the friendships that formed between the rest of us that worked out butts off was well worth it. The preschool staff and kids are very happy with it so mission accomplished.
