Art Wall

Until we had to clean our house to sell it, I tacked my pictures onto my wall. Partly a show-off display. :P Partly a way to make me continually fix them. You see, if I had to fall asleep looking at them, I would soon get tired of the mistakes, and notice new ones. I kept a pencil by my nightstand and fixed up those little mistakes. Pictures went up and came down for years-- every so often I took a photograph. Here are some pictures of the wall, in no particular order.

So! These are some of my old drawings! Click to enlarge picture.

Random Old Drawings

I've been uncovering more and more old pictures from an undated CD. I really should get more organized and start dating my CDs. Some of the pictures are really, really old. Some of them are from barely 2 years ago. I really don't remember! But here they are!

A Mothers' Day gift (or was it for Mom's birthday?) a few years ago

A tiny painting

A drawing of our parish for some family friends who moved away

A drawing of my sister playing in the snow, a birthday gift for my dad. I SO messed up the proportions

Oh, wow. This is really old. Like, third or fourth grade old. It was a poster we did for school-- only every other school in our district did it, too. I forget what the contest was. :P There was this big reception thing, in the school gym, and there was a beaver and a guy who talked and talked and all Iheard was blah blah blah. Funny, the things I remember? :)

A painting of my sisters' godparent's girl that I never did do-- I tottaly messed it up and gessoed it over.

Wow. She was LITTLE.

A coloring contest. I was, 11? 12? And I got third place in the 11-18 year old bracket. Actually, its still up on the website! HERE.

A painting for a family friend's cousin in Germany who visited us when she was down here in Hillbilly Land. :) Its a drawing of a picture I took when we all went out to Meramac Springs Park. You can see part of a notebook I'd decorated.

That contest picture, a drawing of St. George, and a colored-in photocopy of the drawing of St. George.

(Old) Abstract Paintings

There are going to be plenty of old pictures coming up on my blog. I actually have no idea how long ago I made these... and these files are all undated. They are most likely from two to three years ago. All I remember about these was giving them to a friend.

Well, I normally dislike abstract art. I mean, what is it? Just random blobs of color. Sometimes such random blobs can look nice to pull the colors of a room together... eh. But you know, abstract art is really, really easy to make. So easy that I finished both of these in half an hour. :P

And don't forget the fun angle shot. :)

Manga Experiment

I've been trying out new techniques and new challenges-- manga being the latest. I have to say, I am terribly thrown off by the weird proportions involved. I found some manga faces that I used as reference to learn. Then I turned my Lucy Pevensie of Narnia drawing into manga in the corner-- I'm sure you can see it, its bright red. :)

Updates

I updated a few posts with new pictures. All the ones that I said, "Hey, I've got more pictures for this laying around somewhere..."

Lucy Pevensie Colored Pencil

Hermione Granger Colored Pencil

Tapestry Crochet

(Old) Paintings for Above Staircase

I am also going to work a bit more on my Tengwar article-- update it; I learned some new things about vowel phonetics and that ties into the tehtar somehow...
