Sunlight's Kiss

This is another work from Octavio Ocampo. It is a very successful use of the "negative" space along with a simple use of basically two colors.

This is an image done by Octavio Ocampo that is really totally different when you look carefully up-close. Most of his works are done in this manner and it is worth your while to seek out more of his work!

"Wind" sculpture

Last semester my 3-D class made abstract sculptures useing a special plaster. We made molds useing old milk cartons then carved with anything we could find. I used a drill, files, a chisel and plaster screen for sanding.

Fix Me

This is a drawing I made back in my Drawing II class. I made using charcoal stick, pencil, a kneaded eraser and rag for blending. We were supposed to create an image that appeared "flat".

Spiral Jetty

This is a jetty created by Robert Smithson in Utah. I will be researching it for my Art History class in the upcoming weeks. It's part of a group of creations known as "Earth Works" that are created useing the environment and are meant to be "temporary" and "ever-changeing".

Thought of the Moment

Once in a while I come across a joke or "one-liner" that is just too good not to share. Over the course of this semester, I would like to post a few beginning with this one. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!
If God is watching us, the least we can do is be entertaining.

"Still Life to Go"

This oil painting is from my painting I class from last semester. The assignment is called a "still life to go" because we were to fill a shoe box full of odds and ends and zoom in on a small area we found most interesting, grid it,draw it and eventually paint it as realistically as possible. Some of my classmates chose crazy objects, but I decided to "raid" my garden shed for more organic pieces. The bird is actually a weathered outdoor faucet that I really like.
