Art reception

At the end of the semester, here photo's from the final critique and art show reception.

The large piece was done by Eric, a man from Tanzania. I love how his sexual women look so vibrant and larger-than-life, where as mine looks so tiny and fragile.

People! And their looking!

My piece for May is a commission from our neighbor, a portrait of his daughter.

First Show!

Some of my work is being featured in the student show. It will be my first time to have my work on display with other artists' and to get their feedback. Here we go:

Your effort to remain you is what limits you

Alice Gardner-Bates, Your effort to remain you is what limits you, oil on canvas, 20x20, 2011

I missed last week, so here's a biggie. This is an almost finished, big, serious painting. I meant to post another painting too, but the picture didn't turn out any good. Oh well, it will be finished next week.

Flyer

My first try at designing a flyer. Con crit would be great.

Womanizer

Preview!

Here's a preview of a series of five drawings. They'll be done Thursday. Part of finishing them has been transferring them to cleaner, nicer paper. These are the old dirty originals.

A hodge podge

After a concrete theme for all of my posts, here's a jumble.

This will be part of a series, but only one so far.

Life Drawings

These were done with a live model, under 5 minutes a piece.

Bellmer series

the goal was to paint one subject (my Ghost in the Shell 2:Innocence Gynoid doll) three ways, so I tried to paint it in three styles Hans Bellmer used.
