Even when our mouths are closed shut our minds will forever be open and bright. The mans mouth is sewn shut but his coloful face and bright colors that surround him give the man a voice that says he has more in his head than meets the eye. This piece is one of my favorite marker pieces. I am obsessed with the colors on the mans face. If I could I wouldv'e redone the background. But in the end I still love this piece.
These lizards are ripping out of another lizard just to say hello. The colorful wild lizards want to be free from the mean bland colored lizard in the center. I was trying to practice shading and using different colors with my markers. I had more fun with the background then I did with the lizards though. I love these lizards and my markers. Those to ingredients work together to make a create new creation of fun and color. I am really enjoying my choice for my concentration and I feel like my art is improving!
This is a silly little drawing that I fell in love with. I enjoyed doing the detailed background with a simple drawing in the center of the page. This cute, bubbly, little monster just wants to say HEY, and also if you have seen his missing sock. I really am enjoying using my markers when I am stumped with my watercolors. I love branching off from the norm and trying some wild new things.
I wanted to goof around and paint something that wasn't a four legged creature (lizard). This was a hallway in the Muesum of Fine Arts in Boston. I wanted to play with shadows and angles which is something I usually stay away from becuase I have a hard time with straight lines. My favorite thing about this piece is the wreath that is around the railing. I had fun with the green and trying to shade it while also adding the little yellow lights.
I feel as we enter a new year I hope that we see more light and love. Last year there was alot of death and hate. The only thing that helped me get through all the darkness was my friends and family. I hope there is more love in the future. As you can see in this piece love breaks through all the hate and helps heal us even in the most hurtful or painful of times. I really wanted to show my message with the darker and lighter markers.
Just when you thought youve seen enough lizards they just keep coming. In this piece I created a scene were a proud lizard sits upon his victories but blinded by his pride he doesn't see his future death. There will always be someone bigger and better out there and you should never forget it. If you do you could become vain and full of yourself. I really enjoyed doing the small details on the lizards becasue I am really getting the hang of watercolors, and I want to get more wild and crazy with my lizards.
I created this piece becasue I kept thinking of my grandfather and how in this country no one could help him. My grandfather had a type of dementia. He fell apart and there was no help from doctors and there was no place for him. State mental hospitalshave been closed in the state, so there was no one to help us take care of him. I had an eye witness them to his self distruction. His brain and body were falling apart along with all of my families lives. This piece was very emotional for me to create and I wish I couldv'e done a better job. If I could I would redue this piece.
This was an experiment piece. This was one of the first lizards paintings I did with watercolors. I wanted to see how each of my colors looked together and how they blended. This was a fun piece becasue I had no direction, but I knew exactly what I wanted to do. My favorite part was just fooling around with how and when I should use watercolors in this style. In the end this has to be one of my favorite lizard painting.
I really loved splashing the watercolors onto this piece. I felt very comfortable doing it. I titled this piece Dangerous Love becasue of how love is an inevitable doom. Even when we are madly in love everything will come crashing down in the end, or a big lizard will swallow you whole. Besides the unavoidable termination I enjoyed the clashing colors of the backrgound and the lizards.
For my concentration I have been doing lizards. I usually use watercolors because that is what I am used to, but I have started to experiment with different mediums. For this pieces I used markers which was a challenge for me because it was out of my comfort zone. In the end I loved using the markers and I loved the outcome. The colors blended together very well and gave my piece a bold look that I dont really get with watercolors. I titled the piece Independent Voices because each lizard is unique and has its own voice just like every person. I wanted to give my lizards as much voice and color as they deserve because they are really cool and underestimated creatures.
