THE ART WITHIN ME. Check out my "other" life Blog chronicling the life of my family as we live and travel in Europe. Tuesday, June 10, 2008. What I have been doing.My Mother's flowers. This is my first canvas, for an online class I am taking called organic backgrounds. I love it, though it feels more collage-y and crafty than masterly artist.the techniques are very fun though with layering and layering more stuff one over the other. It is only at stage 2 out of 5.so stay tuned. Labels: Acrylic Still Life.

THE ART WITHIN ME. Check out my "other" life Blog chronicling the life of my family as we live and travel in Europe. Friday, December 14, 2007. Poena" and "The Art within me" and why I called it so. The seed of an idea began to germinate in my mind in a very small voice about a year ago …. I wondered myself if, in our booming idea age, it is even possible; sort of like when they closed the patent office in the 20’s as they figured that everything that would be invented had already been inventedR...

THE ART WITHIN ME. Check out my "other" life Blog chronicling the life of my family as we live and travel in Europe. Thursday, November 22, 2007. Oooh ya, I made it! Against all the odds, babysitter conflicts, sick children and a very-busy-at-work husband I actually made it to the painting class. I screeched in 5 minutes late.but. So happy to be there. Here are the pics. And apparently master of many media, taking students and happily has room for one more. The work to be rendered. And my stab at it.

THE ART WITHIN ME. Check out my "other" life Blog chronicling the life of my family as we live and travel in Europe. Sunday, October 21, 2007. I am fascinated by collage and with my background in design love fashion images. I have also been feeling so pulled between the aspect of mothering my children and the desire to paint ad return. To school, I wanted to try to represent this with a crazy kind surreal. Using a collage image. The composition looks something like this. Of the picture, also the woman's.

THE ART WITHIN ME. Check out my "other" life Blog chronicling the life of my family as we live and travel in Europe. Tuesday, June 10, 2008. The fish WILL get their eyes. First class.sort of like a Rorschach test, a mirror image of a horizon, experimenting with washes, and then adding tree detail and cleaning out the horizon line later.the colours are not my favourite but the effect is sort of cool no? Second class, again experimenting with washes, and color mixing.can you tell I LOVE bright colours?

THE ART WITHIN ME. Check out my "other" life Blog chronicling the life of my family as we live and travel in Europe. Wednesday, March 5, 2008. Some more fiddling with portraits. So this is the portrait I worked from, taken from a book of B/W portraits. Then using the watercolor technique I began in a rougher stage I started to sketch out the face shape and the depressions, and roughly the details, as each layer dried. This is a pencil sketch I did of Lily tired and sucking her thumb. Sorry for the lag.
