A few weeks ago I was going through our stuff and getting rid of ... just Stuff that sits in our closets or under the bed and man do we have a lot of Stuff. going through it all I came across these paintings of mine. I did these in my painting class at UVU and each painting had a different technique we had to use in order for us to understand our own painting style by painting with touch/feel and emotion. We painted as though we had no idea what skin, eye, hair etc color was supposed to look like and had to paint only by feel (without a mirror or picture) Color has feeling red yellow and orange usually means warmth and etc.. so the colors we used had a lot to do with how we were feeling that day. Another painting we could only use a pallette knife or our hands. This was something i had never experienced with because im more of a realistic artist, but I absolutely loved this assignment as it helped me venture off into a new realm of painting. The last two paintings we could use a mirror but we still acted as if we saw only in black and white.
You should try it sometime, it actually is quite fun
I decided to recreate these Blocks... I never really liked them much until now (i liked the quote though)
Oh and if you haven't heard We are Moving to Houston Texas!! Dan accepted the offer with Deloitte.

I commented on facebook but also wanted to tell you here how excited I am for you. It's probably easier knowing you have family down there. We'll have to get together soon!! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteWow Mrs uber talented! Thanks for sharing your gift. I think that would be fun to try sometime
ReplyDeleteOoh those are really cool. And I didn't know you had recreated those blocks. That's great! And I like how the new job got a one liner at the end. So exciting though I'll be sad to see you leave!
