once more the same compostion for painting class. this time i had to open (try at least) the forms and paint with pastels. i have to take it tomorrow to school and see what the teacher says. i don't if it's what she'd want us to do. i'm not used to seeing the kind of art she wants in this exercise (Braque's style)
what do you think?

I like the lines of the pose from this angle. Her body looks very powerful. Too bad my lame camera washed out the midafternoon light.
Taken with Canon XTi 400D in manual exposure and manual focus modes.
One of my favorite hats, a Canon lens, and a Diet Pepsi bottle.
What a fascinating assignment! A la Matisse, I cut out random shapes from an old desktop sketchpad that had all my old spills, scribbles, and paint blobs. I used a small pen-like rotary cutter as scissors are too hard on my thumb/hand. Then I had some old 5 x 7 matboard so I brayered some black acrylic on those. Then I glued...and figuring out which way to orient them, portrait or landscape, was the greatest fun AND challenge. At first I had only single shapes, but then realized I wanted the pieces relational somehow, then the moon idea came.
I just never realized how powerful and evocative shapes were before this exercise. THEY TELL STORIES - but I dare say, different stories for each of us. I feel as though I will be able to tiptoe into some non-objective paintings based on this experiment. Thank you, Leslie!
