Underconstuction

I am currently rearranging my studio... art room... whatever you want to call it. Anyway, I have put some of the pieces I have lying around on the walls already (there are more to come). So, here are three walls of my space.



In the first picture, the painting on top is kind of Matisse-like. It was done in 2001. It is a 2' x 4' oil on masonite. The board underneath it is my newest "journal." The following is the first one I'd completed since moving to Atlanta in June '05. I don't keep diaries... This is as close as it gets.





The above picture has three completed pieces and two unfinished ones. The Largest piece is charcoal and oil pastel on 2' x 4' masonite. It is the voice of a woman who had been assaulted the words read, "Alone, naked, bruised, and battered, broken like glass, I've scattered and shattered."
The top piece on the right is a 2' x 2' oil pastel - its a frustration piece. The one below it was done in college. It is acrylic paint on plastic... It looks smooth because I painted it from behind. This was the first time I'd use the pregnant woman with the baby showing. You can see a similar image in the post EVOLUTION OF A WOMAN.
The painting on the easel with the tutu (I'll explain later, maybe) is going to be a retro-funk piece. It is oil on canvas.
The painting on the table is also oil on canvas... it is tedious and may never get finished. LOL



Top Left: Unfinished peice showing amorphous shapes done in oil on acrylic on canvas.
Top Middle: The Octopus looking piece from the last post.
Bottom Middle: Untitled piece. Acrylic on canvas. This washes of pastels.
Top Right: A study in color and negative space.

Really digging the third photo.

I really hope all your choices aren't flawed. Maybe that was a moment of weakness.

Yes, it was a moment of weakness. But I guess "journals" are supposed to capture that. :-)

Wow. You are very talented. I just viewed the gallery, and I was pulled into the depressed woman and the evolution of a woman. Forgive when I forget the titles. Evolution, is that for sale? Do you have a website?
