D-Day Collage - CONCENTRATION

Spring 2009

collage on canvas board

I made this collage with random odds and ends from around the art room. It started off pretty simple, but the more things i added, the more character the piece took on.

Encausic on canvas board
This is a small collage i made in class. I didn't really plan out this piece, it was really an experimentation with crackle paint and wax. It was fun, and i really love buttons - a lot!

I completed this piece during class. I wasn't really going for a particular theme, i just went crazy! It was good for me, and i think the result is bold.

mixed media on canvas

I made this collage at home in a couple nights - rushing to have another piece for Scholastic. It's a fun, light hearted piece. I'll probably work back into it some later.

Oil Free Boy - BREADTH

oil on canvas

I worked from a personal photograph. I've had to experiment with different techniques and therefore there are many layers, giving this piece a desired thick texture. I may work into this painting again later, i'm not sure if it will ever truly be completed.

I created this piece in honor of my favorite band - The Shins. You can criticize it for not having a focal point.

This is an important piece to me. I made it the first couple days coming back from the Christmas break. It's Mrs. Childer's favorites of my works - it speaks.
