Holiday Cards
So this is the finished Holiday Card painting. I made sure that for the final print I made a nice big cheesy “Happy Holidays” to slap in the bottom right corner. I’ll spare you here.

Semester's End
Technically, I have one last crit on Monday, but all the work is done for that, and I’ve posted all of it before. This is how the one piece came out. You’ll notice that I’ve added line. I did this for several reasons. I’ve realized that my painting style doesn’t do my skills as a draftsman any justice, also my skills as a painter are–well, let’s be honest–limited. Additionally, I’ve really been diggin’ on Pete Hawley lately, so I’m adopting some of that… He paints such cool babies!
Also, this is how my crit wall looked for Mark Tocchet.
Lastly, this is a holiday greeting card I’m going to send out to a few people as a thank you for all the money I got for my birthday this year. $400 worth of art supplies thanks to the generosity of people, most of whom I don’t know well enough. So anyway, this was a quicky, two days from start to finish. You’ll notice the line, and you’ll also notice I’m working thinner. I’m trying to hang onto my drawing for as long as possible. As usual the photo is awful. This is only exasperated by the fact it was wet.

Home Stretch
This semester is rolling to a close. I deem the first piece done, since there really isn’t anything I can do to it that would significantly improve it. Additionally I hate doing tedious detail work, and I tend to fuck up a piece if I look at it too long past a certain point. The second could benefit from a little more TLC in the water regions, which I will probably do next week at some point.

Progressing
It’s the home stretch to the end of the semester.

This week thus far…
Unfortunately, the painting that I showed earlier has gone missing… oh well, I guess I’ll do it again. Anyway, here is a painting I’ve been working on so far this week. It is 30×40 inches.
This is still in progress and isn’t due for another two weeks. I’m pretty excited though, as I think it’s going pretty well.
