A year out of college as a working artist has been quite an experience with many ups and downs. Moving forward with this little art blog/journal I am no longer going to seperate the sections into quarters. Instead, I am going to go by ear and feel. I am going to be teaching silversmith and possibly other courses as an adjunct at the college and will get done what I can when it makes sense and according to my feels.
Fire agate and Ithica peak natural turquoise
“Dragon’s Breath”
Wax Pastel on 5.5″ X 7″ Black Paper
Summer for me and my family is more about spending time and most of the art I do is with the children for their 4H projects. I focused more on sketching, I made some ceramics that have yet to be fired, and am working on some larger projects that are in the pipeline. -1 Sept 2023
“Birdhouse”
Conte’ Crayon on 9″ X 12″ Canson Mi-Teintes
I was upset at how the photoscan made this look so much lighter than in person so I included a regular picture of the image. The reality is somewhere inbetween.
