My concentration is inspired by my own journal entries, and this particular piece draws on my Catholic baptism and my interest in the Renaissance, and also my depression. I need to finish the painting of the eyes, but they are my own, sans glasses. The face in the bottom left corner is made of clay, wax, and oil paint. It looks like it was on fire at one point because it was. There are dictionary definitions, quotes from “Song of Solomon,” and some bits of my own poems and thoughts. I included a clip I got from Michael’s 3 years ago, mirrors, and a picture of myself from when I was about 3. I plan to add more blocks of text so I can paint or draw over them.
I did this landscape in acrylic paint on a gray-toned panel. The colors I used the most were vandyke brown, burnt sienna, white, red, cerulean blue, and lemon yellow. I used a lot of water with the paint to improve the flow and keep it smooth. This is the reference picture I used: The picture is of the shed across the street from the main entrance to the school. I thought this project was fun to do and pretty easy, but I don’t know if it’s one of my best paintings.
