Happy Cyndi


An image transfer of a photo I took of Cyndi, painted in [my own version of] the style of Francoise Nielly. The colors in the background are joyful colors and the only thing I don't really care too much for are the four small flowers. They could have been MUCH better, but all in all I think it turned out very well.

Statue In The Courtyard.


I took a photo of the statue in the senior courtyard, drew two pictures of it, cut them up, and wove them together. A PAIN! I like how it turned out, though. Oil pastel on Bristol Board. I think it turned out pretty well. :)

Shoes!

A pain, but worth it in the end.

Charcoal and acrylic on (metallic) spray painted black paper. Looks better in person (flash pulls the background through the shoes) Another one of my favorites for sure.

"Genius"

One of my favorites this year..

Charcoal on newspaper, stained with watered-down acrylic. The object was a candlestick holder, and the 'smoke' coming out of the top has no real meaning behind it other than Mr. Brandt had just finished explaining the history of the word 'genius' so I say the 'smoke' is really a genie. :)

Simple Weaving


Not my favorite piece.........

This should have been way more complex with a lot more strips of paper but this is how it ended up. I chose the colors to express a rainforest-y feel. There are a couple pieces of a toucan in the picture. The best thing about this piece was the color and pattern on the strips of paper.
