Here is the Queen of Hearts!
Tag Archive for 'portland project'
I have about a week until I start school again. Well less than
a week if you count the life painting class I am taking on
Fridays. This means I need to get some work done before
I get too exhausted. I started on my Art in Hand Project.
Here is the beginning of the Queen of Hearts/Self Portrait.
Yesterday I was given some great news. Here in Portland a new project is
beginning for 54 local artists. The goal is to create a one-of-a-kind art
deck that showcases local artists to be sold in some local stores. The call
for art was issued last month. I was chosen to be one of the 54 artist to
create a unique playing card. The painting does not create a revenue for
me but there will be a showing sometime in March of all the 54 paintings.
In late April the original paintings will be auctioned off and the proceeds
will be given to the charity of the artists choice. I turned in my paper
work for the project right away and was given my first choice for my card.
The Queen of Hearts!
For this painting I am planning on doing a self portrait. Here is a rough
look at what I am basing the painting on.
