New Painting!

This is my newest piece! After doing this one, I realized I need to pay more attention to spacing and proportions. I'm going to work fitting my scenes on the canvas better so they dont go off or go right up against the edges. This was a commissioned piece so the main image needed to be of the truck. Other than that, I was super happy with the overall image!

"Memories"

We just learned Digital manipulation in photography and did a project called "Recreating Reality". This is my photo named "Memories". My inspiration for this was the concept of time. The aspects of both then and now are intertwined in this photo. For my first experiment with manipulating photos, I feel as though this project came out very well and my message shows through the photo.

These pictures are beyond awesome! The artist, Darren Pearson, sets his camera with a long exposure so that when he draws with LED lights, it will capture the image he traced through the air. As a photography student, I'd love to try something like this! It is such a cool form of art and something I never thought of before. To read a little more check out these websites:

I saw Chris Piasick's work on Doodlers Anonymous. He is a graphic designer and illustrator. Knowing I'll be taking a graphic design course next semester, I found his work very inspiring. I really love the way he takes what's on his mind and turns it into art. He brings his own creativity into each piece he does and thats what matters the most to me. To check out more, here's his website:

After looking through even more blogs, I came across Roger Bansemer. He does many landscape paintings and is featured on a PBS television series called, "Painting &Travel with Roger & Sarah Bansemer". After looking through some of his blogs, I found that not only does he share his paintings, but he gives his feedback on what works and what doesn’t and also tips on how to make pieces better. I really enjoyed reading over his comments about his work. He mentioned that details aren't always the most important thing if everything else is strong. I would like to keep this in mind because I always go way into detail, which works for most of my paintings, but can be very time consuming. I’ve suggested detail in some of my paintings and I have found that it works well. If you’d like to see more paintings done by Roger Bansemer, the link is below:
