Photography

This photo was taken earlier in that day. This one appears more focused and everything else does not matter. The colors that appear in this simply amazed me when I took it all the blues set the mood of sadness but then the orb of light that is mostly warm colors really pops out of the picture and guides the viewers eyes.

More photography

Recently when out some friends let me use there camera and I took two pictures that I am the most proud of. This is one of the two. This has some mystery in it, you know there is something out there but you are not clear on what it is... There is so much I can see in this I can't point out one thing every time I look at it I see something new and it strikes a new meaning. I honestly think this might be one of my immortal works that is going to live forever because it is constantly changing. I have no idea what to say aside from that.

the Drunken Man

This was a still life just simple graphite on paper 9' x 12' that I named "the Drunken Man". I thought this was really expressive for a still life because the position of the wood man, his slouch, his shadow, his missing hand, the head looking down, the way the feet look like they are dragging slowly. It reminds one of a man who has lost all hope but continues on alone and doesn't see the world around him. This still life really impressed me because I didn't see it coming together until the middle almost end, I had always been trying to find out what could make a still life so unique and this help, I learned about setting a mood in a still life, still trying to work on that in still lifes and have a little more of me come through in them instead of just a pretty picture.

Looseyourself

This is my art nouveau piece that I titled "Looseyourself" Acrylic paint on bristol board. I do realize that people do tend to get lost in this picture and we loose the individual figures, I did mean to do that it was done on purpose. This picture has nothing to do with the use of drugs. To me its that moment in time where you forget who you are because of an adrenaline rush or a very sudden change and you just don't know what you should feel. Everything is running through your head at once and everything links together in some kind of twisted way and everything else doesn't matter. I want the viewer to feel something from this picture even if it is not the same as I feel. I would love someone else to tell me what they feel when they see this and how they interpret this.

My precisionism piece. "Trapped"(9 by 12 inches) acrylic on bristol board was an assignment for my art 3 2-d class trying to imbody a precisionist painter. I wanted to add a bit of character to this painting so I tried to use as little tape as possible and free hand most of it, I ended up messing up on a lot the wire on the grey fence post got messed up and there was suppose to be trees somewhere but when I started on the trees it just looked better with out them. The paints got messed up and I ended up using the wrong blues and blcks at some points so some of the greys are off. I didn't like this piece as much but the colors and the gradient on the larger fence post is interesting to me but could have done better and made the lines cleaner.

My Shot at Photography.

I've never really been one for photography but a walk in the backyard changed that. A little bit of photo editing and manipulation and I think it made for a pretty decent first piece the composition should be edited a bit to make it more interesting. the way that some of the wires should out really made this stand out to me and it made the picture look deeper almost as if I could touch that wire. I feel something when I see this picture it sends mixed messages. The fence looking so much taller, even taller than the trees makes me feel trapped and intimidated, but the sun shining and penetrating the wood post, and the dark to light gradient of the sky make me feel at ease and hopeful. I leave it up the the viewer to decide what they think about this piece, criticism is more than welcome, and please tell me what you think.
