Why I've been mising, and my new Studio!

Now I apologize for not posting much this month. I was away at a youth camp over Easter, and then we went out on the boat a couple days. 

And went to stay with friends a couple days. And yesterday I went riding on 90 mile beach with my brother. Something I've always wanted to do. We saw wild horses too, the forest there is riddled with them!

So really I've done nothing arty except transform the sleep-out into my art studio.

Which did look like this: 

 And now looks like this:

Charcoal Portrait

I think this is Rita Hayworth... 

 I drew her in charcoal on standard drawing paper.

New Studio

   I now have an art studio! The sleep-out which is supposed to be a guest room but since we rarely have guests and the room is a tip my parents have decided that I will make the most use of it. 

It will be fun cleaning it out and arranging things nice and comfy! This is the state it is in at the moment:

When it's all lovely and tidy and clean I will post you some more photos! =)

 

Other Places I Am

I have a YouTube channel

And a facebook page (like me! =)

Digital Art Appreciation

This is a bit of digital art I did once. I'm not a big fan of digital art and I would never leave traditional art for it. But I respect digital artists and love some of the beautiful images they create.

April Fools day summery

I refrained from playing April Fools on my readers, forgive me!

But here are some art related April Fools day pranks that happened around the world on the first of April:

Breaking news: Shark swimming in Detroit river!

And a museum plays April Fools on the prolific forger Landis. Not really...

You mean you have never heard of him before!! He's only a very famous artist. Most people are so scared of not knowing the famous and popular that they will believe anything!

And finally this

I have found that it is hard to find any art related April fools jokes... but Norman Rockwell has always been my favorite so I fall back on him:
