Paintings




So, since I am taking a web design class, I probably will not be uploading much on here in terms of graphic design this semester. Thus, I thought I would upload some stuff I have done in other classes instead. These were all paintings I did last semester. I went into it not knowing how to paint at all, especially with oils, so I think they turned out pretty good. The first one is "the turtle painting" that some of you said you wanted to see. It was done by taking basically random magazine clippings, collaging them together, then painting it huge. It started off with no real meaning, but after finishing, I found a very odd and subliminal, personal meaning to it (which is very long to explain so you can ask me about it later). The second painting was done by inventing color on a black and white photo. I think this one is the best out of the ones I had done, personally. The last one was a still life of a cologne bottle of Teddy Roosevelt and a dream catcher on my kitchen counter. There was one more painting I still need to upload, but I don't have a picture of it right now, so it will have to wait.
