Wow..I'm really terrible at this keeping resolution thing. I think next years will be to work on my resolution keeping skills! Anyway, life has an amazing way of twisting and turning and making things make sense, doesn't it? I've recently started taking college classes so I can officially be called a graphic artist..well soon I will be anyway ! It was always one of my hang ups of not having any "official" background in art. I'll finally have the education to back me up, I'm very excited !!! Or at least I was until I started reading all of the work and remembering that I'm not 18 anymore! Ah well, I'll get through it!
Oh, I also wanted to thank you guys for the encouraging emails, your opinions have been very helpful and are very appreciated. I'm obviously new to this and definitely need all of the help that I can get :)
I'll eventually get the hang of getting all of my more intelligent, entertaining babble down into blog form !
On to my newest artwork. Sadly, one of my closest friends brother recently passed from a long illness. He was in his early 40's and left a young family behind. I was asked for an art piece to add to the auction. I really did struggle with this one for awhile. I definitely didn't want to make something happy and I wanted to make sure that I made something professional enough to be sold at auction, along with all of the other beautiful pieces. I wanted to do whatever I could to help my girlfriends family :(  |
I just seemed to keep adding layer after layer and then layer after layer of flowers. Some were from Prima and some where just strays from the wedding aisle in Hobby Lobby.
I did love the way that this one turned out. It was one of those pieces that you make that is very difficult to give away. I keep saying I'm going to make myself one but I'm sure as a fellow artist you all know how well that one usually goes..I know, I'll add it to next years resolutions!
