The art show was a success.

The art show was a success. It was also boring and hot. I'm happy that I tried something new, but there is no way that I could do this on a regular basis. I don't know how people do it...

Thanks to everyone who came out to visit me at the show. It was nice to have people to talk to.

Art Day

Awhile ago, my roommate Sam and I decided to have a day dedicated to art. We created for about 11 hours straight. It was lots of fun. I explored with watercolor, but nothing good came from that. I need to take a class... I did however finally start working on some homework for my Italy trip and was able to do this charcoal drawing of 'David' s face. (I have been lacking on my Italy homework because I have had mono since being home from the trip.)

Here is Sam oil painting.

I need to have another Art Day soon!!!

Oil Paint

Oil Paining is my medium of choice.

I learned how to develop the skill at Grace College (2002-2005) through my professor Tim Young. Other than meeting new friends in undergrad, painting was the only other thing that I gained from College... I got a degree in Graphic Design, but have never used it.

It wasn't until a sculpture class in grad school that I realized that I am naturally a Realist. I try to do abstract art sometimes, but it does not come naturally. Here are a few paintings I've done:

My first painting at Grace College.

-currently in parents guest room

The only painting that I have done for myself... then when I was poor, I sold it.

-My college roommate, Bekah owns it. It's in her bedroom in Cincinnati, OH

Bekah also had me do these for her. -Cincinnati, OH

This one is painted only using a knife; no brushes.

This is my personal favorite. It was also done my first year at Grace.

-located in parents living room

After my first Lily painting, I decided to do a bunch of them.

-This one belongs to a different friend named Becca. She lives in Wyoming or something crazy like that

-A longtime friend Ashley has this one in Indianapolis, IN

My cousin, Becky has this one in Louisville, KY. She will be having a baby in November and has already picked out the name of Lily for her!

Below: My painting in Cincinnati. It looks good there!
