student juried art exhibition

I wanted to give you an update on what's going to happen in the next week with my project. this coming week, I will be sanding down the edges of each piece of canvas board. then painting the edges. after they are dry, i will be drilling holes into each piece so that instead of hanging them on panel they will be hanging freely on string. I will also have other parts to do but that is a suprize.

step three

This is step three...well whats left of it. I took the viewfinder to each piece and cut out what i thought looked appeasing. then with the band saw, i cut out each piece...these are the scraps...

Sorry for the glare...these are the abstract pieces. I will be using a viewfinder to break them into pieces to make a more pleasable composition...each piece right now is 14x18 inches and painted with acrylic. I used mostly my fingers and some straws...oh and a painting knife... :D. After i break them apart and paint the edges for a clean look I will be mounting them to wood panels with a background painted of white or black. remember each piece is inspired by a poem but im not going to post which ones they are from until im finished with the whole piece. I will be posting more of the progress as I go along... so far, my teacher says I'm a hidden painter lol...

my new project...

Well, finally I will have some pictures to show tomorrow but just a synapses of what I've been doing besides coloring my fingers every color of the rainbow...no I have not been into my bag of skittles...but I am in the process of creating abstract pieces of art to correlate with some of my poems and others that I have posted here...keep watching...I'm going to be posting the final steps to finishing my creations... this is so EXCITING! I can't wait....oh and I will be posting other pieces that i have created also but those will have nothing to do with my big project. hopefully I will have them done in time to enter the juried art show here... YAY me!

spring?

A re-birth of your spirit takes hold.

and the chemicals in your brain run in ecstasy mode.

Your everything that you had felt before, 

this moment of peace recreates itself

with a new contentment.

The breath of fresh air so to speak, 

has awakened your cold desolate soul

if only for a moment.

As i grace the outdoors with my presence, 

I am lifted immediately to a beautiful place.

Though the bitterness of the cold seems to deliver

an unwanted sadness, the inhalation of spring seems

to offer hope.

There's a discontentment drawn back after the first initial

neuron has re-triggered into the realization of the winter cold.

but the hope that was brought on by your breath of warms spring air,

still leaves happiness lingering in your spirit.

before the initial impact of the scent, 

our lives seem to move in slow motion. 

but after you taste the smell, the smell of spring,

the feeling of being "alright" when the 

inhalation of spring offers hope.

The Next...

Angry thoughts, sadistic dream, How come we only hear 

the deathly screams?

Horror stories and crazy suicidal deaths

from second or higher stories

Bloody tears and a loss of hope

from the lack of being able to cope.

From wanting a good life to having a bad dream

only because your knowing your life,

will be torn at the seams.

 

Lost and deathly afraid because society

makes you sell your body just to get paid.

It's not enough anymore to do it for love, 

but now you have to make it above.

Not receiving any money to be able to live in the crappiest

hotel, but be able to die in a roach hell.

 

The next Generation won't be the same so the thought

of your children growing up is also driving us insane.

It's where we become angry in our thoughts 

and have sadistic dreams because after hearing ours,

we hear the children's deathly screams.

Hi, Hello, How do you do?

I live in a box on a street and

my life can not be beat.

You say bad things, but mess with my life, 

and see what hell brings.

HI, Hello, How do you do?

Your not too good for anyone around you.

You don't have to say anything, but

I know i'll brighten up your day 

and make your smile bring out everything.

I may look grody and poor, but

that doesn't mean that I'm a bore.

You act like your too good for me

but you don't see, what I see.

you never asked for my opinion.

You just looked at me and made a decision.

Go ahead and say bad things, but 

it will hit you hard when you see what hell brings.

The devil lurks in all of us 

no matter if we're smart or nuts.

Not at all cool of you to judge me

by the view I give you.

I'll say it one more time, 

Hi, Hello, How do you do?
