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.

This drawing of a "take out" box is one of my favorite drawings that I did back in drawing I. I created it using graphite pencil, a kneaded eraser, and rag for blending.
