Art to Celebrate

Art. Drawing. Painting.
I'm not much of an artist but I took art class my senior year in high school. It was a great change in pace from my usual classes! I learned a bit more about myself and how to draw of course lol
Art for me is an outlet, a way to relax, concentrate on something productive and have it be momentously rewarding after I finish it tho, there is always room for improvement according to my ending ocd when it comes to painting haha
I am a painter. I suck at drawing. Sculpting with clay is great too, just not drawing. I am horrible at drawing. Odd aren't i?
hahah


<---The first painting of mine is of a picture that i took when i went to visit a very special person of mine name Maria F. Murillo in London, Ontario Canada. The weather was something out of this world to me. It was snow unlike any that ive ever seen in georgia! actually snow not like the ice mush or hail we occasionally get here in atlanta, but actually SNOW! that might not mean much to some people but to me and a great number of other southerners, snow like canada or the upper northern states is actually really differnt!
The name of this is "Through the Tree, In the Snow"


My second artwork that I created was also for art class. I took the picture of what i was going to draw on a drive home at night. It was about to storm and a ominous cloud was looming nearby. I did the logical thing any art person would do...stop the car in the middle of the road and took a few pictures with the camera on my phone! resolution wasnt all that great but was usable. I used water color to paint it and water color is probably my favorite thing to paint with now. O, and during the production of what i call "Storm in the Forecast", i was being an idiot during class and hit someone's paintbrush that had BLUE paint on it....
bad bad bad...but i just spread it around and hoped for the best lol
the owner of this artwork is my wonderful friend simply and creatively known as Chay. She kept things lively for me in art class, along with Brandon. As a end of the year and "ill never see you again" present, i gave this to her :D i hope she still has it! lmao




My latest and hopefully not the last painting is something that is more special than the others. I started what i haven't a name for yet during the summer of 2009. My awesome friend that i love extremely much, Maria Fernanda Murillo (mafe to some), who was going to turn 19 on sepember 13 and i wanted to make her a special gift that money couldn't buy. So what do i do? I go and take a picture that she took of her favourite season (fall) and turn it into something that is better than any present (or at least i hope she thinks so too lol) that you can buy!
I used water colour to paint this. It took me roughly a month and a half, trying to be perfect lol
It was a lot of fun to do, something to do at night and a fun surprise present for her which arrived a week later than it was suppose to be due thanks to UPS failing.


All of these are special to me. The only one in my possession, "Through the Tree, Past the Snow" but its all good because theyre in good hands so no worries!
and hopefully more artwork to come!
