Awkwardly positioned delicate object and a big shadow from an unseen source... I think I'll call this one a self portrait.

Tons of mardi gras beads hang from my easel - I find them really beautiful and extremely tempting. Tempting because I am always tempted to add them to my composition. I love the colors and I enjoy the reflections and highlights on ach bead. Unfortunately, they are too much. Every time I add them, I regret it. I never learn from this mistake. Three day weekends are a gift from the gods. Thanks to this extra day of "rest" I managed to get the car serviced, clean the garage, prep healthy food for the week, hang some art, AND PAINT! This is my new friend, little bird. He's a Lenox figurine from my mom's house - but he may originally hail from Marion or my fraternal grandmother. I'm excited to see where he takes me and hopeful about finding some time to paint him. |
Lora Marie DurrDuring my undergraduate studies, I spent a great deal of time in the painting studio working with traditional oils. Teaching middle school art for the past 12 years has taken me away from those roots. This "one a day" project is aimed at re-inspiring that creativity and technique. Archives
