Here are a few of my favorite projects that I finished up last semester.
This landscape was based on a picture I took very close to the field of yellow flowers.
Here's the original photo.
My other favorite painting was my first self portrait. I spent a lot of time on this, and I got a lot of feedback from my instructor, which helped a great deal. It actually looks like me, which makes me feel quite proud.
I ended up getting an A in Oil Painting, which really pleased me. I thought painting was hard, and I had to spend a lot of time and effort to make things look the way I wanted them to. I'm glad to know my hard work paid off!
This is my favorite project from my ceramics class. It stands about 15 inches high.
I'm taking ceramics (wheel throwing this time) and sculpture this semester, and I"m looking forward to what I'll learn and make!
Beautiful work!

Well done! I really like your self-portrait. And the glazing on the pitcher/vase is really pretty and striking. I'm glad you are enjoying your art classes so much.

Oh, my gosh! That self portrait really does resemble you. Great job. And that ceramic picher is so pretty. I love the colors you chose.

Wow - now that is art! My favorite is from your picture - it looks like a photo! Your self-portrait is amazing, though. An the pitcher looks like something commercial or indie artist already, it is fabulous!

Congrat on your A. Awesome! Your self portrait really does look like you. The landscape conveys the watery yellow feel of the original photo. I love love your ceramic piece. Do I sense an Etsy shop in your future?

Those are lovely, I especially like the pottery. The ceramics class sounds like so much fun! Can't wait to see what comes out of it.

You're so poly-craftual! ;-) I really admire that.
The self-portrait is particularly impressive--that's a very challenging genre.

So talented! Wow!

I am looking forward to seeing all the things you make this semester too! The painting is pretty, the self portrait is spectaculate; but, I have to say, the ceramic piece is my favorite.
