Purple Gorilla
This is a gorilla mask that was used for a still life in my Color For Painting class. Most of these were done through out October and November 2009. If I remember correctly these took roughly about an hour and a half or so each.

Abstraction
Doing still lives in class can be pretty grueling, especially after 3 hours of critiquing the homework. The one above I decided to just go abstract. I've never had much success with acrylics in the past but I felt pretty comfortable this time around. It helped to have a looser approach and just concentrate in getting the colors down. Hopefully in the near future I can do some more on a larger scale. As of late I've just been focusing on scanning in my work as a way to preserve them just in case they get lost (which happens from time to time). Pretty soon I will post some of my work with film and video which has been my primary focus. Now that summer is here, my access to school equipment is limited so perhaps I will make more drawings and/or paintings.
