Various Art-Related Things
I went into an art gallery today (before mailing off some fun paperwork, yay), and poked around for a bit. Some aesthetically pleasing things there, from a superficial point of view, but I didn't really see anything innovative, or indicative that my art should be there. I don't know which annoys me worse; this gallery, or the one at the Depot whose only quality is shock value. I mean, shock value is nice, don't get me wrong - especially in the South - but it's not the only quality that makes great art. I need to find a place with more art galleries.
Projects:
Furry Statuette Commission:
This is going rather well, give or take, other than the fact that I've taken an insanely long time to make it. I've mostly got the fur painted on the two smaller figures, and the larger one has been basecoated, though I need to make a base for it.
Fetus Painting:
I've got the background more or less worked out; I might have to put another layer over it, I might not. It's a poster-sized painting, using a canvas poster someone gave me. I gessoed over it so I could experiment with larger paintings. I went into an art-induced fit and painted the background a dark purplish colour, and dragged my fingers through it. It looks interesting. :S Ah, fetuses...
Self-Portrait:
Well, more or less. I've done the background, I just need to do the figure; myself, with black wings. Yay for being a valkyrie?
The Divergent Path:
I've done all the background I can stand for this one, I just need to get started on the metal trees. Why metal trees? I have no idea. X3
Fetus:
Sewing another fetus; this one's a commission. It's a darkish pink, with black embroidered eyes. I love sewing fetuses.
Odin:
Making a figurine as a sacrifice to the Old Man. I've just got the armature and the first coating of Sculpey done so far. Need to work on it.
Freyja as Cat Woman:
Another sacrifice. Planning to auction it off on Furbid and give the proceeds to the local pet shelter, if I ever finish making it. :S
