My "VinTaGe" Art....or work i've done in the past

 Self Portrait ~ 1998

This is by far,
the BEST work I have EVER done!
One night during our datin time,
The Chook Man and I
were hanging out.
While He worked on his computer,
I shut my Self up in his room with
A PaPer, A Charchol, & A Candle.

Two weeks later
and some tweakedness of the Shadowing,
this became the finished piece.






and I'm damn proud of it!

My "VinTaGe" Art....or work i've done in the past

This piece is one that was more fun, than hard.

A class project where we took a piece of art

from a favorite artist and put our Selves in the painting.

At the time I was really big into Klimt

{along with Dead Can Dance and Nag Champa}

I still LoVe Klimt.

{along with Dead Can Dance and Nag Champa}

Using my ultimate fave way of drawing:

chiaroscuro,

I went with Klimt's Danae.

One thing I did learn was this:
My professor knew right off that I had used a photo

because of the flatness of the light/dark contrast in the face.

This taught me to really look at how the Light is hitting

which has always been a problem for Me.

I really must look into going back to School!
