Finishing the unfinished business

If you remember, I started this painting last September. In the mist of my final rush to finish stuff, this painting was put aside, because I had ran into some creative blockage...
Now I am finishing it for the student exhibition (ASE) and it's going well. I was inspired by a fellow blogger, who has been very very kind and supportive to my blog, and is very nature& environmentally conscious, after seeing many post on his blog I decided to make some changes to the painting. The bird in the older version, was a dead bird, now I am making it alive and standing, adding more connection to the woman in fur. I hope to finish this painting in time, despite the good weather outside...:0)

ASE Ready

This is a 6' 1/2 x 3' 1/2 I'm getting ready for the upcoming ASE. Just in case you wonder, there is no meaning behind the painting as many of my other paintings do possess some symbolic relationships and dynamics. It's simply a double portrait. If there is anything, it's love- guilty as charged :)

ODD NERDRM WORKSHOP CANCELED

My fellow artist and friends, I am saddened to announce that Work Shop with Odd Nerdrum is canceled due to nature's unpredictability. However, the play by Odd is still on...

Walking and observing6

I would like to know why there always seem to be one sneaker instead of a pair of sneakers disposed. ..

ART IS DEAD, JESUS IS ALIVE!

Why do people at my school think Conceptual Art is so "cool" and representational art so "nerdy"? ?

Walking and observing5

Ah, spring--- flowers are peeking, leaves are growing and young grass is coming out under the cold bearing soil...As we took a nice long walk around the park (in shorts!) .... Anyway, here is today's "Walking and Observing".
