So these are more or less the finished product excluding one which I still have to take a photo of..

This one to the right was the start and the far right ... I started with another new image that worked better with the canvas..

This one was a random image with the thought of rebellion??

But I ended up working over this many times....

first couple of weeks and another idea..

So I failed to take many shots of progress... but I'll show some early pieces.

When I got started I got into thinking about portraying a different emotion on each canvas... for example

freedom

fear

rebellion

anxiety

wilderness....

herd... So this is what each painting came to symbolize

I didnt get as abstract as Id hoped but Im still trying to get my finger on it... it was a great learning process

I want to continue.

I've found some images of the type of thing i'm thinking about. This will give you an idea of the kind of thing I want.Something simple... but also I will be working alot more bigger than this... Alot more BOLD.

Don't call me Kitsch...

I think I have decided what I am going to do... Its to do with horses... don't laugh. But over the last year I have been fully devoted to my horse and his training even more so than this course. Believe it or not...

But even these last couple of months its the only thing I seem to think about and I need to get it out of my head and down on canvas.

So this is what I'm thinking. I want to try to portray an emotional piece.. or even series of the communication and emotion in training/understanding my horse.
First thing that came to mind was Mark Rothko... So I'll get some of his work for you. (It's emotional)
Maybe I can derive something from this.. I dont want it to what you're probably thinkin... a nice cute horsey head. Something more than that. Obviously.
ABSTRACT... portraying emotion and power of the horse. .... DIFFICULTY in communication.

I'll go and collect some cool pieces of work to get an idea of how it's going to look. So I can show you... and figure it out for myself.

CIAO

horses

I love this

Another decision.. ??

Well ... looking over my work and laura's work. I've discovered I am sick of doing my usual 'bright' all over coloured paintings. I love her's coz they leave something to the imagination..
*Limited colour
*Limited line
*Discontinued line
*SPlASHES of colour rather than BLOCKS of colour

hmm i like this.

thinking

thinking about doing a piece of work that involves charcoal. paint. Maybe experimenting with textures. I love how Laura has worked with the texture of birds feathers. and wolves faces. .... maybe something else like fish or insects. fur?? thinking thinking.

Artists I Like

LAURA SKERLJ http://lauraskerljproartpractice.blogspot.com/

Pics of my life drawings. Experimentations with charcoal, ink, paint, graphite. I seem to be thinking about developing a painting with mixed media. I really enjoyed making these artworks.... Maybe that could work. I think I'll go find some artists who work like this for inspiration~!

PICCIES of my art. hope to find some area of continuity ir SOMETHING in their that I hold as strength in my art. I already have a fair idea that I'm strong with colour and proportion.

BLAH>> Starting!

Making this blog to document my art processes for TAFE! I'll be putting in some of my art and other inspirational work that I hope to get IDEAS from!!!! :S and perhaps... develop an idea.
