Ok, so the month of May has been a little insane. - birthday - going away festivities - high school art show - AP portfolios - chaparoning week long trip - graduation - moving out of classroom - moving to Virginia... I know, I've talked a lot about how busy life has been lately, so you get the point.
But, somehow I've managed to keep up the art and other creations (but just barely).
Here is a look at some things I've squeezed in this month.
First up, one of my art teacher traditions is an end of the year "art relay race". This year's winners, Catherine and Katrina, each chose their favorite animal for me to illustrate as their prize. Katrina chose an owl and Catherine a chick. This is what I came up with:
Next up, I had a commission for a dog portrait. I love doing pet portraits, it is so fun and challenging to try to capture the personality of the pet on canvas. Here is Chester, a stinkin cute bulldog who sits quite silly in his favorite chair.
And last, but not least, just to keep things interesting I took on the task of a wedding cake. A small wedding (thankfully), but the pressure of a wedding none the less. I had the honor of making this cake for my brother-in-law's mom, Kelly, and her now husband, Mike. I was quite pleased with how it looked, and tasted! (yellow sour cream cake, vanilla buttercream, and strawberry filling - YUM)
I'm looking forward to a summer full of art making in all forms...and a lot more time to do it!
