Gaea and Uranus(d’Aulaires copy)

May 15, 2013

I am not committing to anything, and this turned out pretty wretched.  But I want to get better at handling paint and think I want to work through my favorite book of Greek myths and make copies.  We’ll see, it can only get better (well one would hope so).

Poachers Beware!

That’s right, the Wilson, Tillamook, Trask, Kilchis and Nestucca all have eyes and are watching.  They don’t call ODFW, they devour you whole!

Beware.  BEWARE!

While it has some issues, I give this painting a 6.5 out of 10, mostly because of the PSA type handling of the paint.  Sadly this is the highest score so far this year.

You win this time paint.  If you want to lay on the paper and look lame, well, there is nothing I can do about it.

Devouring the Indifferent

Why can’t my brush strokes be more like my pencil marks?

While we are on questions: Why can’t my scanner clean its own damn glass?

Its a seal by the way.

Untitled (Two Poorly Painted Peacocks)

So my last drawing made me think, “Hey I could paint this” and “Not hate this”.  Well, I think I was half right on both counts.  I really like to paint, but am so so with the results.  I am not so much a painter as I am a brush moving enthusiast.

The silence is unnerving, thank goodness for television.

This child is frightened, too too frightened.  You should do something, but you cannot.  You were not there, and even if you were it would be no use.

Why don’t you go ride your bike?

-Why don’t you go ride your bike?

-Because no one will teach me!!!

This is the first installment of a book I am making for my children.  These drawing are a little time consuming so I will be peppering them in between my other projects.  I hope to have 32 pages by the end of the year and then print it up for them.  Its fun and they are helping too.
