Landscape Painting from class.

Trying to be more active on this blog so heres a super cropped (instagram) picture of my painting from todays class. Left one is my initial 30 second sketch, right one is at the end of the class. I never do landscapes or anything like this so I'm pretty happy with how it came out.

PART THREE)

Draw one image for this poem:

A minor bird:

I have wished a bird would fly away,
And not sing by my house all day;

Have clapped my hands at him from the door
When it seemed as if I could bear no more.

The fault must partly have been in me.
The bird was not to blame for his key.

And of course there must be something wrong
In wanting to silence any song. 

Today, after I watched my dog get run over by a car, I sat on the side of the road holding him and crying.  And just before he died, he licked the tears off my face. 

Today, I was all dressed up and waiting on my blind date to arrive.  He never showed up.  It made me feel ugly.  I thought he may have seen me from a distance and bailed.  Then as I left the restaurant alone, I heard a little girl ask her mom if I was a princess.  It made me smile and it

6. 30 squirrels escape from zoo; 38 recaptured
A typhoon wrecked the squirrel enclosure of the Inokashira Park Zoo in Tokyo in July, resulting in the escape of 30 squirrels. Attempts to recover the animals were quite successful; at one count, 38 squirrels had been "recaptured." Zoo officials have offered three different explanations for the discrepancy: 1. They miscounted how many squirrels had escaped 2. The squirrels reproduced while on the loose and 3. Some wild squirrels may have been picked up by mistake. The zoo implants microchips in their animals, so all recovered squirrels will eventually be scanned.

OR A RECIPE 

Ira Glass on not quitting;

I think I've thrown out about 5 or 6 poster designs already, and figured it would probably be a good time to post this since I think it sums up how frustrated I am haha. 

Pickels! Sam Rowe and Ryan Crawford.

SAD WAVES FOR SAD PEOPLE (Working Title).

So this is a project I am working on at the moment- Here are 4 different styles I've done, I like the top one the most. 

Anyway, here's my little spiel on all this. 

In this drawing based project I explore the conflict between the rational mind and the emotional self and how this manifests in artwork. The conflict experienced is represented in the form of illustrated waves that embody the anxieties of self-regulating.
