So I have totally sucked at posting on the blog -- please don't kill me Mrs.Bjork! -- but I'll get you up to date with what I've been working on. I took a trip down to Utrecht art supplies in Milwaukee and purchased some oil pants, canvases, brushes, and colored pencils so I could start working on those summer projects. I'm really excited to start those actual pieces of work compared to the sketchbook work. I find it so hard to be creative in my sketchbook and I have no idea why. So far I've chosen to do for my projects the friend of family member in full color trying to capture their mood and personality, the fully rendered plant, and the shiny objects where you have to capture the reflections. So as soon as I finished those I'll post them and start doing some more! I also have to start posting the online work with the websites, so I'll get on that soon!
I also went on vacation up north so here are some inspiration pictures I took -- which are also on my flickr -- and some pictures from the beautiful Third Ward from my trip to Utrecht. I just love the buildings and the feel of the city.
