March Thirtieth, Two Thousand and Twelve

Hello all! Things have been busy around here! The school year is drawing to a close (Thank goodness!) and it's almost summer! There are so many great things to look forward to. Its hard to keep focused! It's very hard to keep from getting bogged down with all the work there is to do at this time of the year. Lately I've been trying to rejuvenate myself with a fresh new outlook. I've been seeking new ways to think creatively; getting out of my sphere of thought and trying to gain new perspective. Hopefully, this summer I will be flooded with inspiration!

Hello All

 Hello All, you're having lovely weeks I presume? I must tell you something  that causes me distress of the highest degree. My printer scans pictures very lightly. And it makes me very. very. very. angry. So, the lesson is: Technology is not as helpful as we once thought. In fact, I had a wonderful picture that I was quite proud of and I scanned it and half of it disappeared! Well!

Caption:"Kailey Realizes Jason needs help"

My sister, Kailey, and her boyfriend, Jason, have recently gotten into a card game called "Magic: the Gathering" it gets pretty out of hand with how nerdy they can be about it.

Farewell.

Faces

Everyone has a unique face; no two are the same. Even twins have differences. Sometimes I like to think that my drawing looks alot like someone out there in the world.

~Have a Happy Weekend~

New Ventures

My amazing artist of a cousin, Jonathan, visited us last week and he and I did a collaborative picture together. Here it is....

He is seriously incredible. He did the left side and I did the right (obviously you can tell; his side looks professional). Unfortunately, he had to leave. Hopefully he'll visit again and we can do more pictures. The printer drained a little bit of the color, so it doesn't look as vibrant as it does in real life.
 Someone else I must mention is my sister's boyfriend, Jason. He got me some awesome watercolors for Christmas and so far I've painted these...

 'Writer's Block'

'Coco and Pepper at the Zoo'

I had some lettering in this picture, but it was cut off because the first time I uploaded it the feet were cut out! The feet were too cute to leave out, so I opted for cutting out a little text.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year Everyone!!

Lonely in the Lofty City

The picture is a bit cut-off.
Have an adventure this week, okay?
It's not always fun to be Lonely in the Lofty City.

A Short Lesson in History

          History is surprising. It can be...boring. Most of the time, for me, it is. But then there are those rare and exciting twists where you discover a story that catches your eye...and you pay attention. There's that awkward moment when you realize 'I enjoyed that' and you then reread the story just to make sure you didn't imagine it. Some stories are funny,some are full of injustice, some make you proud, and some make you sad. Others are down right eerie.

 The Lost Colony

Watercolors2

 

  I love to paint/draw hair. I love the way hair flows and hangs. I wish I had good hair.

       This year, I'm taking American History. This picture was inspired by my studies of the early colonies and their relations with the Indians.
