WOW it's been a while

I decided to add myself to talenthouse and do some work on there.  It has been a crazy year with school almost ending and the beginning of so much in my art life.  Recently papermaking has taken over my life followed by painting.  Now I enjoy painting on canvas but seriously painting on paper that one presses themselves is so super awesome.  Words can not explain the use of paper making in the sense of wanting to live in the book shop and making paper and having a great hydrolic press (which I wish I owned) to press it out.  Papermaking has changed the way I do art and thus expanding myself into 3d objects...  I made a book from scratch literally mad the paper and put the time and effort to follow through on it and make it my own.  It is so amazing to say I made a book...

So how is it changing?

As I previously stated in my last blog, my art work is changing.  I feel as if my artwork is not work at all but a pleasure to do instead.  Recently, I have asked friends and family members what there favorite color is. I am taking there favorite color and making monochromatic mixed media artwork.  I find it interesting how so many friends and family members choose the same color as there favorite. 

I started with my monochromatic mixed media do to the fact that my good friend Jessica Welch  recently moved back home, far, far away from me.  I find it super easy doing mixed media for her even though her favorite hue is purple.  I have sent her some of the works of art so she can enjoy her favorite color in her home as I live far away from her now.  It is so important to me that I am asking and including outside sources for my monochromatic mixed media.  More pictures to the blog will come soon!

Take Care!
