Squirrel Box

 

Okay….so the gallery settings confuse me. I can’t get them in the right order. But there is a picture of before and after. I also put a few close-ups. I bought this box for 8 dollars thinking it would be very useful for art supplies and what-not. The only problem is there are squirrel stickers on the top and the side of the box. I tried pulling them off, but they are attached much to well. So I left them, but then I decided to add labels….then I got to thinking about painting the labels because I didn’t want to put labels on it…and well….that’s the end result. So that’s been my art project around work.

I also made a necklace today. I like it a lot. I will be adding some drawings and paintings soon.

Olive Trees with Yellow Sky and Sun

So I needed to do a painting for one of my art swaps. I’ve been very intimidated by this because I’ve never done a painting for anyone else. It’s the biggest acrylic painting I’ve ever attempted (5×7 – don’t laugh) and I used Van Gogh’s ‘Olive Trees with Yellow Sky and Sun’ as my subject. (I think that’s what it’s called, but I’m not positive). It is my favorite painting by him.

Now…please don’t laugh…..this one is mine.

I know it’s fuzzy. I had to take a picture because I could not scan the painting because of the texture. And I couldn’t use a flash because it is so shiny. But that’s it. I like it, I really hope my swap partner does too. I’m going to paint another one for myself.

I used plastic palette knives to get the texture and I really do enjoy working with paint like that. We shall see what else I come up with. I know I promised a ‘Starry Night’ for one of my roommates. :)
