who im looking at...
I am frequently looking at different artist's work, for research, for inspiration and usually with a great deal of awe. Here are four I thought I'd share with you.
JW Waterhouse ( 1849-1917)
Gustav Klimt (1862-1918)
I've been keeping an eye on the above artists for some time. They were all working loosely around the same time but in very different styles. However, what draws me to them is also what they have in common... there content. Regardless of the different painting styles all of the paintings above are beautiful, romantic images of women.
The pen and ink drawing below is a piece i picked up the other day in a shop in Homewood. The artist is a contemporary as well as local artist. And! In this piece the subject matter is also figurative.
So now you know who im looking at.
Who are you looking at?

(AND it is fully manual!!!!!)
okay...i know this one is just lust...

Also. for anyone wondering....
I am now prepared and ready to actually post on the this blog.
This semester at school was every kind of hectic and didn't leave any extra time.
BUT NOW! school is out and all of my art work happens to be in one place.
(Which has never ever ever been so before)
So. I, hopefully, will be able to put up a
"ART SCHOOL IN REVIEW"
of sorts.
more to come....

Bedtime Devotion
" Why are thou cast down, O my soul?
and why art thou disquieted in me?
hope thou in God:
for i shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance."

Midnight Epiphanies
Sometimes we need to be upside down so that we can see right side up.
Once upon a time, not very long ago, there lived a little girl. This little girl tried very hard
to be good even though she didn't always succeed. Everyday the little girl journeyed through
the woods. While the little girl walked, her path began to get muddy, but it was such a very
little bit of mud that she didn't notice. The mud began to build and build over such a
long period of time that the girl couldn't remember her journey without the mud. As her walk
continued the little girl began to slip on the mud, but she slipped so slowly she couldn't see
what was happening until one day she slipped right into a hole and found herself at the very
bottom. When the little girl realized that she was lost and at the bottom of a deep hole she
was so afraid that she shut her eyes tight and wouldn't open them, afraid to see that there
was no way out. The little girl stayed in hole for a long time with her eyes tightly shut and
every time she tried to get out she would slip on the mud and fall back to the very bottom of
the hole. After awhile the little girl stopped trying to climb out and began to forget her way
back or even what life was like outside of the hole.
Time passed and the little girl began to wonder why she had continued her journey
through the woods, she had seen so many people stop along the way but she had continued
on. She wondered why she hadn't stopped walking before she ended up in the hole. Why had
everyone left her to journey through the woods alone...
Finally the little girl began to lose hope, she would never be able to climb out. Once she
realized this the little girl opened her eyes, and looked up.
There... standing above her was her father. He had been standing there all along with his
had out- all she had to do was look up and see him.
The little girl continued her walk through the woods, but now she knew that her father
was behind her, where he had been there all along.
From time to time the little girls path would again become muddy and sometimes she
would fall into a hole, but she knew that even w
hen she was at the bottom of a hole and even
during the times she was too afraid to look up that He was there. And when the little girl got
discouraged on her walk she would look up and see her father.
LOOK UP.
