A New Creation

I'm starting a new oil painting for my mom. It's a garden scene. She's going to put it over her bed.
This is my sketching out where everything will basically go...

...and this is what it looks like after the first coat of paint!

(Stay tuned for when I start putting more layers on it!)

Long time, no SEE!

Some things I've worked on over the summer!!
I experimented with Rorschach ink blot tests... what do you see and how does it make you feel?

Some faces...



I actually did several studies of blossom branches. This one was one of my last in that series.

My Earthship Model

So, for my Housing class, we all did 15 hr projects that we worked on throughout the semester. My project was studying Earthships and learning what it would take to build one in Kansas.... I had LOTS of fun! One of the professors helped me by letting me borrow some Earthship books.... she's an Earthship nerd like me!! I made a model of a basic one to scale. Here it is!
Here's the inside, looking at the planter in front of the window.
Here's the front. Complete with a wind generator and solar panel to provide electricity!

Here's where you enter! The front door!
