04/06/2012 Progress

I know it's been a while since I last posted on my blog, my apologies. Since I last shared anything, I've been working on an Oil Painting for my Pastor.

It's 32"x 40" on Canvas, based on  an Illustration used in an at home Bible Study.

When I've been out and about, outside the Painting Studio. I've been working on an original Piece I'm creating on the theme of the Madonna and Child Christ. It's 8.5"x 11" on Rag Paper with Prismacolor Colored Pencils.

I hope you enjoy my current works.

Lost in Time

Lost in Time was completed 01-10-2012, on Rag paper with Prismacolor Color pencils 8.5"x 11". It was inspired by a fascination of clocks and time. The original concept from the patron was to take her fascination of clocks and time referring to life, and create a piece depicting a woman’s journey through the stages of; birth, life and death. As I worked on the piece I chose to use glimpses of astronomical features in the dialogue of the message in the piece. I was given a fairly large license over the outcome of the piece. I placed Venus above the figure to symbolize the common metaphor for the female. I felt the need to have fun with other symbols and floral patterns through the piece. I finished the piece with a suggestion made by the patron to place the moon in the piece. I thought it made a nice way of referring to the theme of death without playing with the figure of a dead or dying woman. Moon is typically known as a dead and cold planet, this is what locked in my decision.
