This nude is an exercise in foreshortening. Hopefully we will be done with nudes soon!

Victorian House

Image
I love drawing Victorian buildings. This was done during summer of 2008, and is a house here in Baker City which is now turned into apartments. This is one of my favorite houses to drool over here. Baker City is full of gorgeous houses and buildings from the 1800's and early 1900's. It is a beautiful town with a rich history. I would like to make some kind of tour book of all the old homes of Baker City with my drawings as the pictures. I need to do some research on the homes as well. It is a large undertaking, who knows how long it will be before I accomplish this? It might be a lifelong work, but will be fun. I entered this piece in the 2008 Baker County Fair, and it won First Place, and also Best of Show. Victorian House (until I know the name of the building), 2008, Pen and Ink

Sculpting a nude man

Image
This is my project for this week, a semi-realistic male figure. I haven't named him yet, as someone suggested, because after another week or so, he will be recycled back into the clay bucket. It amazes me that I can do this. As I mentioned in the last entry, I did not think I was capable of doing this, yet every week, I find out that YES I CAN! I was wrong! I can sculpt! I am really enjoying this, and thinking that I may want to pursue sculpture further, once this class is over with. You know, sometimes I like finding out I am wrong.

Geisha

Image
My sister Kelly bought me Memoirs of a Geisha a few years ago, which sparked my interest in Geisha. I then read other Geisha books by Mineko Iwasaki and Liza Dalby and I just had to make a painting of a Geisha, so here she is. I am not good at flowers and might try working on them a little more after they are dry. Except for the flowers, I think I am happy with this piece. Geisha, 2009, oil on canvasboard, 12"x 16"
