Weekend fun...

This past weekend I wanted to do some 'fun' abstract paintings that were mainly about color and not much thought about content...

this is what happened-enjoy :)

last of old stuff-completed trio

Here is the completed trio of the painfully tedious paper shape cut-out project.

We used color chips(similar to paint chips) to exactly replicate the colors of three different out-door days:

sorry these didn't come out very well and my photoshop program is down- so no cutting or adjusting for me :(

The first was a sunny day:

A night time scene with dim light inside:and finally, a dismal, cloudy day:

Watercolor and some loose-ends...

Here are a couple of 'older' paintings and one new one.
This is my latest project-to continue with my color crazy paintings and use images from our recent vacation to Curacao.

One of my very cute Mommy-Mulder :)

The older ones-the candy bars-were a project about taking objects and changing their color- so color context project- I wanted to play with the idea of changing candy wrappers, since these are objects that most are familiar with(and I got to eat the candy after wards :)

more stippling fun- sorry poor image quality...

Photoshop Images

This was my final digital photo assignment- to use Photoshop as the main component with your images(well we could use any images we wanted). I was rather afraid of this assignment, but ended up really enjoying it- here's what I did:

A pic from J and I(courtecy of Lizelle :) and a photo I took of an old church/mission building window in San Antonio..

At Eddie and Joy's wedding I got to do Joy's hair and make-up and here are two images that I took and made one

crazy leaf-throwing-twirling self portrait images-rather cold that morning too :)

an image at the top of the sand dunes in Kleinmond

flipped and reversed image and color change

Self Portrait Images

Here are some of the photos from my self-portrait photo assignment, where I set up my camera and took shots of myself- was interesting...J was very helpful with my projects too :)
I think he was tired of me taking pictures at this point- but cute picture of him non the less...

dancing feet

You can tell I like beads- accessory girl :)

Fun with watercolor and face paint- kinda butterfly/nymph look??
