Still Life

The top image is a photo I took; the bottom images are of the painting I made of it. Acrylic on canvas board.

 

One of my favorites.

Still life with getting-ready-to-go-out items.

 I entered this in the 2009 ArtWanted.com artist’s calendar. It was March 2nd. It’s charcoal and pencil, on paper.

 

Wagon wheel

Still life, charcoal.

This is one I did a long time ago. Thayer art class, I think (shout out, Mr. Searle!)

Actually, I was thinking about him the other day. I didn’t know it at the time, but he was one of the main reasons I got into Thayer. I had taken the tour for prospective students the previous spring, and brought my sketchbook (as I always did then). Mr. Searle saw me drawing in it, and the rest is history. On my first day of school he sought me out to ask me to enroll in the upperclassman Painting and Drawing. Like a good therapist, he helped me to help myself, and to nurture and develop my talent in my own way.  Thanks, Mr. S.
