Just a thought

Hello!

Hope everyone who bumps into my blog had a great weekend. I know I did especially because of the gallery reception I went to on Saturday. It was at the Pen & Ink gallery on 10th street in Manhattan, NY. My mom's friend/coworker had two pieces up there so she invited us and we had a great time. 

It was also great that I went because I knew nothing about this gallery much less that it was located here downtown. I'd love to go back and see the place less crowded like it was on Saturday but nonetheless it was really good.

Soon I'll be making a blog based on the galleries and museums  I'll be going to when I have more time. Maybe I'll change my mind but I've been wanting to visit several places but... same old song, I haven't the time.  Well, I have to go, have a class soon...BYE!

Sunset towards the Hudson River 2008

Here's the third canvas based on construction and the sunset in Manhattan. Also done last semester, I think there is an older post here on this canvas as a work in progress image. I'm happy how this turned out but I would have preferred to make it bigger! I'll be taking another painting/drawing studio class during my senior year after the summer at Parsons so it'll be more time spent on this idea I'd like to make into a bigger project.

Here's another city/ sunset based painting I did last semester. I wish there was less of a glare so that the details would pop out a bit more. I had a lot of fun making this one because the clouds and colors turned out to look good. It says a lot about that day and how great the black cloud just covered most of the sky. This is before the building on the left was finalized in it's construction so some things from this view has changed. I will most likely do another one based on this view but with new colors and a better sense of the environment. Can't wait till the summer vacation comes! (In about a month)... I'm counting the days left :)... Have a good one!

Construction/Sunset, Fall 2008

(11 x 14 inches, acrylic paint on canvas)

Finally! It's finally done... or at least it's close to being done. I finished this last semester during the first half of Junior year. I really want to continue these paintings that relate to where I live and sort of document Manhattan especially now that all this construction is going on. I think I'll continue this new thought during the summer. I am in my second semester of my Junior year and have a lot of classes, so that basically means I have no time to do anything outside of school work. 

I will be posting the portraits I started last semester so that whoever bumps into my blog will take a look! Bye!

OH, if you want to check out the previous image of this painting, click on the link below ( construction/sunset) and you'll see both posts.
