About Me

My photo
I am an artist in mainly oil paintings and pencil drawing. I am far from professional but that is my goal. I think my work is good but will get much better with time and experience. I long to go to the Florence Academy of Art even if just for a trimester. I had art classes once a week with a local artist in Willcox, AZ from 12 - 16 years old. She taught me a lot, but I feel I am only now developing a style of my own.

work, school, etc.

Well I am a couple weeks or so into my new job and haven't yet gotten a chance to do the job I was hired to do because we have been trying to move into a new office with nothing but problems. Hopefully, we will be moved in by the end of this week - then things will calm down.

I hope to take a painting class at the college this semester - it will probably be pretty basic, but it will give me a chance to see what other artists are doing and maybe establish some contacts. I want to register Friday since classes start on the 21st and payment is due by then! With my luck the class will be full or cancelled. I wanted the Monday class but it looks like that one is full, unless they let me go directly into Painting II, which would probably be better for me. I do know some about painting already.

I am working on a new painting which is a type of self portrait - I am the model for it but I may not try to establish a likeness. Will see what evolves from it! I also bought a masonite artist panel but it is very smooth, and I am not used to the texture so I don't know what to put on it yet.
