NOM NOM NOM
It is what it is. It is yum on Granny Golden's vintage china plate, with a glass of pomegranate-blueberry juice. I think a cupcake could be next. With a glass of milk, which is what I actually wanted to do when I set out this time, but they did not have any cupcakes at the store that were good looking enough. Soon kiddies, soon...

CONCEPTUAL SCULPTURE - NIKE
This is a sculpture I did for a project I'm working on in Art History I. I have to do a paper, and an oral presentation with props that include two studio art pieces. This is one of my studio art pieces. My topic is Classical and Hellenistic Greek art. So I have done a conceptual sculpture of Nike, the winged goddess of victory. Most of the statues I have encountered in my research are missing a head, limbs, or both, so my Nike is missing these appendages. Bless her heart, she has retained her wings. I have given her a Hellenistic sweeping garment a a slight contrapposto pose to keep with the style of the periods. I hope she dries out in time!

BLUE BOTTLE & PEARS
This is a still life on a 9 X 12 piece of Strathmore pastel paper. This is a smooth paper that I decided to try. It has a grainy texture and is gray with some darker slate colored fibers in the paper. It's pretty to look at. I like how it shows through in the drawing. This is not a complicated still life, but I like the colors. The teacher is really good, and has excellent knowledge of the medium, which has really helped a lot. I am really starting to enjoy the class.

SQUEAKY TRIO
My daughter told me that I needed to do something different from the things I've done in the past. So here is what I did for my last assignment in my pastel painting class. Pastels are a new medium for me. So far I like them fairly well. I used NuPastels and Rembrandt soft pastels on 9 X 6 Strathmore paper for this craziness.
