Painting

From Painting I've found that I don't like acrylic paints as much as I used to. This came from my discovery of the magical medium of oil paint.

• The first image is a watercolor of spheres hanging in the air from strings. The text are stanzas of song lyrics from Coheed and Cambria's "The Running Free". I found the song appropriate since the sphere on the right is snapping off of its string and in a sense "running free".
  


• The second is a still life project that didn't exactly turn out how I wished it would've. The inset is fron the same still life just a different section that I did not have in my original frame of reference.

• A ribbon captured in its purest essence. Just kidding. I felt like being pseudo-intellectual for a moment. But it is a still life of a ribbon of paper painted in complementary colors using acrylic... This was before my point of revelation...now I'm sounding religious.


• The third is oil on acrylic. I used acrylic for the sunset and oil for the black and white ducks. the aim of this project was simply to use images of an object from our childhood. I think I succeeded.


• The last one is a piece I did at the end of the year painting/cookie party. I used a self portrait of myself and imagery of a car crash and a bottle pouring over it as a sort of anti- drunk driving statement.
