Raindrops

This started out as a pencil drawing which lead to a few attempts at enhancing it. The body is done the same as the others. She’s pieced together as if she were a quilt or patchwork people as I like to call them. She’s sewn together and even missing in some places but she does not fret. She still stops to smell the flowers. Note: The piece on her arm that was missing has been corrected.

I do believe this is the version I’m happy with. Sometimes a painting just doesn’t feel finished so I keep messing around with it until I get that “ah, there it is” feeling. I felt it so here she is, “Raindrops.”

You can also view Raindrops at Redbubble and on Etsy. Both links are provided on my sidebar along with contact information.

Thanks for looking,

Version Two

Change a few colours, add texture, define the body as female and you’ve got a totally different feel to this image.

The Expressionist

Published on December 18, 2007 in Art. 0 Comments

You Are Expressionism

Moody, emotional, and even a bit angsty… you certainly know how to express your emotions.At times, you tend to lack perspective on your life, probably as a result of looking inward too much.This introspection does give you a flair for the dramatic. And it’s even maybe made you cultivate some artistic talents!You have a true artist’s temperament… which is a blessing and a curse.

What Art Movement Are You?

Oh, like you know me? LOL Dang it. I hate it when blogthings is right. Yes, I have a tendency to manipulate real life images and reality to express a certain emotion. I guess that makes me an expressionist. That’s kinda cool. Read more of what wiki has to say about expressionists here.

Presentation

Published on December 17, 2007 in Abstract Art, Art, Art by black women, Digital Art, Experimental design, Faces, Self Portrait and Women. 1 Comment

Doing this was just for fun…very fun…my very first digital collage. Three images in one. The very top is Sacrifices, the bottom is Waiting for The Wind To Change and the middle, well, that’s me presenting these two pieces to you with a scarf I never wear.
...
I use to feel rather self conscious about using my face in my own artwork as if it somehow meant I thought too much of myself. I’ve learned recently that the self portrait is one of the oldest forms of portrait making. That’s a sigh of relief for me. No, I’m not all into myself, I’m just available when I need a model and I don’t charge myself for a sitting. Dare I say I’m cheap and available?
