Covered Bridge Art.

I created this oil pastel drawing in the past two weeks in art class at school, off of a photo I took from when I visited this old bridge in Oley, PA. If you want to see the original post, on my other blog called Navy Blue Dreams click here. I am sending this drawing in for a scholarship portfolio project, we'll see how it goes! 

Self-Portrait Comparison.

My newest self portrait. Drawing

Old painted self portrait.

I hope you see the improvements. I think self portraits tell a lot about a person, so what can you tell about me?

Crafts Etc.

Here are some simple craft projects I've been working on, not my best and not my worst. :)

Recycled tshirt, long necklace. I thought the candles were a nice accent. 

My new fave lamp sits on my creative thinking desk (which I splatter painted a while back.) 

The old lamp was a very ugly yellow, but with a new coat of orange paint and a white shade, it looks almost like new. :)  

These are the two Christmas stars I made a while ago. They are probably one of the best crafts I've made so far. I thought they looked lovely on my retro freezer. 

Here are some of my new favorite sites and links to browse. I get so inspired by others' works of art.

My work

So I have really been working hard on paintings lately, I have done two this spring, which is good for someone in school who has no time during school and had soccer practice or games everyday for the past two months. So I am trying to finish the second painting in the next few months. Its for my friend. My camera broke, so I have to borrow my sister's camera so I can post new pictures of paintings and drawings, I haven't done that on here in a while. there is a whole school year's worth more to put on. Also, I have to put other projects from class on. I recently made a wire elephant in class. But this summer I need to work on my art studies, and do a few more paintings. I have a lot of work to do before college! Well, it'll be worth it in the end. Peace xD

Inspiration

This is my favorite painting, and it has inspired me so much. Its call "Victorian Blouse" and its by Christopher Pugliese. He's a really good artist. Here is some of his work. http://arcadiafinearts.com/exhibitions_pug.html
