(2020) Bride #3 Side by Side

This one probably changed the least from the first version to the second, but because of all the details I added on the second go-round it definitely took the longest to redo!

(2020) Bride #1 Side by Side

Thank you for a wonderful response to my show!  I love that I finally get to share these paintings with you, and I'm so grateful to everyone who has taken time to look at them.  The show will be up for the next four days, so to keep the momentum going, I wanted to give you a little look at the progression to the finished product.  I did the first set of these paintings over the summer, and I ended up being so unhappy with them that I redid each one.  They came out MUCH better the second time around, and the redo was worth every moment of panic when I thought I wasn't going to meet my deadline.  

What do you think?  Do you like the first version or the second version better?  Does one communicate a specific mood more clearly than the other?

11/4/2020 - Show Tease #1

Hi.  It's a weird, tense time, and it feels a little wrong to be posting about my own stuff, but the show is only a week out, so.  I'm gonna do it.  Here's a little tease of the first of my six Bridal Train paintings.  Can't wait for you to see them all on the 12th!  

10/26/2020 UPDATE

I'm currently using all the social media available to me to ask people what livestreaming services work best for them.  I'm not actually that popular on social media (surprise, surprise), so we'll see if anybody responds, but I'm hopeful.  I need the input, too.  I was all set to go with YouTube Live, but I just found out that it requires viewers to have a channel in order to participate in the chat, and I feel like that's going to be too exclusionary for a sizable portion of my audience.  And the chat is vital because it's how people are going to ask me questions during the stream.  So I'm back to the drawing board and feeling a little overwhelmed.  Hopefully my friends and family will have some good ideas for me.  I'll keep you posted!

 

10/22/2020 UPDATE 2

Can't wait!

10/14/2020 UPDATE

Hello, all!  I'm back again, and this time with news!  After five long years of thinking about changing my major, not changing my major, running off to Disney, running back from Disney, thinking about changing my major again, thinking about double-majoring, deciding not to double-major, deciding - once again - not to change my major, and eventually finding a happy medium that includes two minors, I am FINALLY ready to graduate!!  I will be finishing up and graduating with an Art and Design BA in May of 2021.  Ah.  It feels really good to say that.

Before I can launch myself into the indecision of post-bachelor life, I need to complete my graduating project.  Through the Honors Program at my university, I will be producing a graduating portfolio, and I'm putting together a kick-ass show to exhibit some of the pieces.  Obviously, the show is going to look a little different than I had originally planned, but I think with a little bit of love, care, and creativity my virtual art show will be just as engaging and fun as an the in-person one would have been.  

There won't be any food, though.  Which I have no solution for.  I can only apologize.

I'm really excited to get to show off what I've been working on, and if any of you are even remotely interested, I would love for you to take a look at my work and come to my closing night event to ask me any questions you might have, or just to chat about the pieces and what I have coming up next.  

The show will go up on November 12th, after which the pieces will remain online and viewable until November 17th, when I'll be livestreaming in a virtual open house to talk about the inspiration and process behind the pieces and to answer any of your questions.  Specific programs and services are still being decided on, so I'll have more information about how to access the stream soon.  I really hope to see you there! 

Graduation, here I come!
