Resounding

Today I present a painting. :) This one more or less burst out screaming with me trying to bring it out with random strokes. I wanted there to be a sense of power and fury in this piece.

There is so much I can see in this piece... It was one of those "just make it up and go with whatever comes out."

Oh the possibilities of what stories could spring from this... I would love to hear your thoughts on this piece.

The third pic is an example of what happens after I complete a drawing or a painting, I like to play around on my photo apps and see what comes out of my experimenting.

Morzan

This is Morzan. A character belonging to Christopher Paolini, author of the Inheritance Cycle.

I used an app to tint it red, but otherwise it's just a drawing.

Somebody on Fanfiction.net wrote a story in Paolini's world and asked if I could draw his take on Morzan's character... and this was the result. :)

Hello

This piece contains lyrics from the band Evanescence's song "Hello."

It is a combination of watercolor and very thin copic markers.

Playground school bell rings again

Rain clouds come to play again

Has no one told you she's not breathing?

Hello, I'm your mind giving you someone to talk to

Hello

If I smile and don't believe

Soon I know I'll wake from this dream

Don't try to fix me, I'm not broken

Hello, I'm the lie living for you so you can hide

Don't cry

Suddenly I know I'm not sleeping

Hello, I'm still here

All that's left of yesterday

It's a beautiful song, with a slow and haunting melody. Part of what makes it so powerful is how subtle everything is, it's quiet and restrained. You have to turn up the volume a little and pause to think about what the lead singer is saying.

"Hello, I'm your mind giving you someone to talk to,"

I listened to it repeatedly and each time I heard new things.

This is a somewhat unusual piece for me, but I loved experimenting with the washed out streaks and diluting the black paint to achieve a bleak effect. The copic markers were also an experiment concerning detail that I can't achieve with a paintbrush unless I were to spend hours pouring over the paper.

So It Begins

Heyloeth, and Greetings!

This blog will be an outlet for me to share my art on all levels: sketches, photography, full blown portraits that consume my life... etc.

I never have a set goal for what I want to do with my art, I hardly have a goal for any one piece I work on.

These are my "wanderings."

P.S. The picture above is an experiment on placement and appearances for future posts. It is actually a picture of shadows on water edited on one of my phone's apps.
