I need your opinion...

This is the last painting that I completed... I'd love to have some input on what you guys think of this one... its not really a Greek mythology inspired painting, but then again, it could be... I'll let you decide!

Finished Persephone painting

Persephone, Goddess of Spring, Queen of the Underworld, was my inspiration for this painting... I posted the drawing I made last time... here's the finished painting... sorry it's sideways... for some reason it won't turn so you'll just have to look at it with your screen of your head turned on its side haha :-)

Map as Art change... again!

So, the map project turned out to be a little different than I last reported... using the different colored areas as different "countries" basically and making a border out of the legend telling the viewer what each colored area represents.

The Next Greek Painting...

My next painting that is in the process of being created is of Persephone... Goddess of springtime and the Queen of the Underworld... Here's a drawing of mine that I'm basing the painting off of... It's going to be all greens and the wings aren't going to be there, but that is the basic idea...

Interesting developments in my painting class...

So, these are 2 of the pieces that I put into the student show... I'm quite proud of them... My idea was to recreate images of the Greek mythological characters... The first one here is Atlas, the Titan who was punished into holding up the sky for all eternity... the second one is Charon, the boatman who ferries the souls of the dead across the River Styx and into the Underworld, I called this one "The River Guardian"... More are in the process of being painted and will be posted as fast as I can paint them... Stay tuned!

Some inspiration...

So, since my digital art/map project is turning out to be a self portrait of sorts, I looked online to find some more portraits that were created interestingly... I found these and was blown away by the style and the overall outcome of them... Very inspiring for work on this project and my other studio classes... enjoy!

Digital Project update

So, the map as art project isn't going exactly the way I pictured it, but I think it's turning out well... its mostly typography using the different color fields of my head/face... we'll see how it turns out... wish me luck!?
