Dun Dun Dunnnnn

My art contest entries are due in a little bit. Eeek! Looking back on them, I dont know if they are good enough to be in it... but I guess it's too late now.

These are the entries I put in:

The new "Adidas" Doodle... without the logo

"View from Brooklyn"
"View Uptown"
"Washington Square Arc"

"Wooden Indian & Harvest"

A twist on an old favorite

This USED to be my adidas doodle... but I drew (and by drew I mean traced) most of the original doodle, left out the logo, and I am now filling it in.

I am redoing this doodle for the juried art show I mentioned earlier this week.

Green Tomatos

I took a picture YEARS ago (2002 or earlier) of a few red tomatoes on an otherwise dying plant. It turned out to be one of my favorite pictures.

I went to my parents house last weekend I took a few pictures. I got really excited when I saw my dad's tomato plants and hoped to recreate the old tomato picture I took... much to my dismay there were only green tomatoes!!!! Boo. But I still took pictures anyway:

"Forgotten Childhood"

I did this painting in the same class I did the painting from my last post. Our teacher set up a still life of run down drab things. It was our challenge to make an interesting composition and painting.

The last painting was 2'x2'... this one is 4'x4'. Needless to say it's quite large, I don't personally have it, my parents have it hanging in their stairwell... it's the only place that doesn't dwarf the wall and look awkward.

My favorite part of the painting is the shoe

All the world's a stage

I have mornings and weekends free with my 12-8 work schedule, and the Art Center of Northern New Jersey is literally right down the street so I was looking at classes when I ran across a call for entries for a juried art show. I haven't done an art show since the photography one in February, I figure it's time to put myself out there again.

I know I do a lot of doodles and things, but I have a lot of projects I am still working on, and other projects I don't think are worthy (they dont allow all pieces into the show... hence the juried part)

I am going to enter the below painting I did in my painting class senior year of college... and the Washington Square Arc drawing.

A tease...

I did almost all of this doodle panel in one night a few weeks ago... i know it's not done but it was enough to share!

(this panel displays to the directly to the left of doodle panel 2)

Enjoy your Saturday!!


**UPDATE!**
I was looking at my blog after I posted my original blog (3 minutes ago) and I FIGURED IT OUT! I figured out how to finish my painting!! I figured out the missing piece to make it all look uniform and equal! Wooohoo!!

Now if only I was back at my apartment where my paints and canvas is located... oh well. The pool at my parents house will have to do for today, I can paint tomorrow.
