In the Depths of Thought

Over the past several weeks I've been juggling a lot of work and grabbing a moment here and there to take an online class from the amazing Pauline Agnew. I've taken several of her courses and I always feel that I grow as an artist under her teaching. I'll be blogging about more of my pieces in the coming days.

Elements

I've been swamped with work as the school year has begun, but thankfully I've had just bits of time here and there to continue painting. I'm working on a series of nudes. The female form is so beautiful...in all our shapes and sizes.

She embodied the elements.

Warrior

"Warrior"

Watch me.

I will go to my own Sun.

And if I am burned by its fire,

I will fly on scorched wings.

-Segovia Amil

A friend of mine makes the most amazing baskets from gourds. With each basket she creates there is a bit of the gourd left unused. When we were visiting recently she gave me a couple of pieces to work with. What fun!
