I'm in a.....Show?

One of many reasons I haven't posted anything lately is because I have been getting ready for a show. My life is so busy right now, i have been accepted into a college that I feel is a good fit for me...now time to look for a place to live. If i don't post anything for a long while this is why . Anyway here is the flier for the group show I'm in ......

flier artwork by Venetta Butcher

Mixed media paintings

I have been meaning to post these, but due to their size they are too big for the scanner I have access to. Photographing them was quite the task.

The first one I did in the fall of 2012. Yet again I wanted to challenge myself with a portrait of Steve Buscemi. I learned a lot about fleshy colors on this one, plus Steve Buscemi's face was sooo fun to draw and paint.  It was a blast.

I did this piece in the spring of 2011 for a student art show. This was a huge break through in my painting techniques.

Figure drawings 2012

Here are some figure drawings i did in the fall of 2012. All of them are 18 X 24 which makes them hard to photograph.

Landscape painting 01

How youz doin? It has been a while since my last post... I've been super busy sorting my life out. I've been trying to get into college and its taking a lot of time away from me ......Anyway, lately I have been really pushing myself as I should be. I've never really liked landscape painting of any kind, but that was partly because I didn't know how to do it. So I took a shot at it, and for my first time doing it I think I did ok. 

 enjoy!! and take care!

Acrylic Paintings

 1.) I don't have a title for it so I'll just call it The Rocker Girl. This was an experiment with the background. I have been researching new techniques and experimenting– by combining different thing all at once to create something special. So far I am happy with the results, but they still needs more..

2) This is a diptych of two different forces good and evil on the same level, down and out.
For the most part these two are done. I just need to add some small details... Also for some reason the green in the jacket and the red skin isn't that bright, the scanner was being strange? Anyway enjoy!!
