2 Drawings of Lines

This one is from this week.

And this one is from 2003.

More Drawings

Well, I am still totally waiting to hear from Columbia's MFA program. I have this scenario in my head that they have my portfolio on their desk and they are arguing over whether I am good enough or not. In reality, they probably lost everything and I'll be waiting for years.
In the meantime I have been going to the park every day and drawing while Pierson climbs everything he can find.

Summer of Drawing

The weather has finally turned, my bicycle is ready, and while waiting to hear from one last school, I decided I need something to keep me from falling into the abyss.

I have always loved drawing and my paintings always have tons of drawing-like qualities.

Drawing definitely has some perks; like you can do it anywhere, you don't need a lot of materials, it is fun, and I can do it with a 2-year-old (although he sometimes takes a few liberties with my drawings).

PS. The first and awesomest of the drawings is actually Pierson's...the 2-year-old.

MFA Portfolio Candidates

I have put together 2 posts of the paintings that I am considering submiting with my MFA applications. I'm hoping for some suggestions and help deciding which paintings to use and maybe the order to put them in. Just for information, I am submiting applications to Columbia which requires 15 pieces, SVA which requires 12, and Brooklyn College which doesn't put a number on it...I would submit at least 12. Thanks for the advice friends.

All of the paintings in this post were completed in the last year...

MFA Candidates 2

And these paintings were all completed between 2004 and 2006.

Painting Marathon

Here are a few more pieces that I have been working on. I am not sure if they are completely finished. I feel like I have been painting for two years straight-with a few minor interruptions-since I graduated. But I look at everything and am really confused about what I have been doing.

I Guess I'm Painting Hair...

...or just making paintings that are inspired by hair. I have enjoyed myself while looking for the directional lines and shapes that make up different hair shapes and styles.
So, after a month without posting a painting, I am finally pleased enough with something that I will share.
