So, last we spoke I was in the midst of painting figural paintings. Well, I'm finished now. Although I'm not sure if I want to post those here or not. There are some really bad ones. But if I can photograph them, I'll update with a few. Till then, enjoy this photograph of a flower, which despite it being December, has decided its a perfect time to bloom.

Yes, that is right people. I am updating and it isn't just pictures of my backyard! I'm uploading shots of my paintings that I have been doing in painting class. Not anywhere close to DiVinci or anything like that (More like something that will make you go "huh...is that a bike? or a tree?")

So here is the series defs.

1. The Paintings of Doom
We are required for our final grade to have 10 figural studies done. I will upload them as we do them (basically one per class). So far there are four. There may be more then ten, but I can only guarantee ten.

2. Other paintings
As well as the figural studies I have to turn in the following:

Still Life
Landscape
Marine scape
Urban Landscape
Figure (Nude)
Figure (clothed)

I shall upload as I get them done. Maybe a few photos I've taken recently as well. Who knows.

I'm not very good at updating my journal here. According to my history, my last entry was Apr 26, 09, which was what...four months ago?

Anyway, I don't have any updates for my account today (at least I don't think I do. I'm cleaning my room and art area, so you never know what scraps I may find). I do however have a list of projects i am currently working on.

Portrait Collection:

Penguin Players
Ewan McGregor

Fantasy Art:

Persephone, with a modern twist thanks to some Labyrinth fan art I have seen lately. I got inspired.

Photography

And that would be the extent of my Spanish.

Anyhoo, I have updated! Mostly point-and-shoot pictures, which I have learned I have trouble taking. I'm so used to having the viewer that I find it harder to take good p&s digital pictures. Need to work on that.

Two major updates. I'm going back to school for graphic design so I will be forced into being creative, so you might see more stuff. but this summer I am planning some art. Hopefully a few things I owe people as well.

So back to the pictures. Got two of the view from my grandmother's apartment down the hill into the downtown area of her town. And a picture of a Lion from her room. And one of Sugar, the white cat who decided that we belonged to her now.

I'll be uploading pictures today to get some new content here.

Question for those who actually read this (which is like 2 I think), Should I offer any of my pics up for print status? I've been thinking about it, if only to pay for a domain name for my website.

Lately, my artistic drive has been low. I barely write, let alone actually do anything to put here. And according to a thing off to the side as I type this I haven't even taken the time to update this journal since September of last year.

I was going to put up some fan art, but I got in trouble the last time I put up wallpapers so that will be a no. My sister reclaimed her camera, so no more digital pictures, though I may upload some of my NY pictures from four years ago.

Agh. Please come back creative Muse. It would be nice to do something besides procrastinate on homework by reading fanfic.

gee...the moods are amusing actually. I'm not quite as bad as I put down, but it was the closest to my feelings right now.
