Seasons Series: Winter Coffee
Order a print
I’m taking a night class in graphic design and for our next class, our assignment is to create four images that reflect the four seasons based on color scheme and/or subject matter. I decided to do coffee and tea for my series. We have to use color packets of coated paper for the project, so I’m in my comfort zone since the project involves collaging, however, I’m not accustomed to using plain paper. This piece is the first one I completed in the series–the cool colors and the steam represent the coldness of winter.
Portrait of a Gorilla
Collage on mat board. 5″x7″

I think it’s funny that the gorilla went from looking like an angry and wild creature to a wizened and contemplative animal. I’ll set this one aside and perhaps work on it more some other day. But for now, it’s finished.
In other news, I’d like to thank Patricia at pve design for doing a post about me. And now I’m off to get started on a 5″x7″ person portrait. We’ll see how this one turns out.
Hope you had a happy Monday!
Louie
The dog collage I did before this one was of a dog that I thought was named Louie. Turns out this is the real Louie, and the last dog was Jonny. Anyway, I finished my last dog portrait in the series of commissioned pieces for one of my clients. Next week I have a meeting at a gallery that might possibly put my work on display.
I’ve been extremely busy with work these days, but now things have cooled down and I will be able to focus more on art making (hopefully). I’ll try to get started on another piece tonight or tomorrow night. I hope everything is going well with everyone!
Jonny
I have one more collage to do in this commission series before I’m finished. In other news, I’m working on last minute work for Art on the Avenue which will be on Saturday. This will be my first time ever doing an outdoor festival. Depending on how much I like it, I may or may not do more in the future.
BB
I just finished the third of possibly five dog portraits that I’m being commissioned to do.
Self Posed in front of Pink

So I decided I’m finished with this for now. It looks slightly like me–I’ve realized that I’ve always had trouble doing self-portraits. It’s so much easier to create works of other people. Perhaps this is because I assume I know what I look like, and therefore I have trouble getting the details down right. I might return to this at a later time, but for now, I’ve decided I’m done.

I finished the portrait and just made a few small changes from the last progress picture. Anyway, I’ve begun a self-portrait piece, and since I always struggle with those the most, we shall see how it progresses.
Charlie
I just finished this one–and stayed up a little too late working on it. Anyway, I’m actually doing a series of dog portraits for commission work. There will be a few others in the future scattered here and there in my posts.
Pink Flowers

I saw these funny looking flowers in the butterfly garden on the mall in Washington, D.C., and I thought I’d do a collage of them. For my next piece, I think I’ll create another animal collage.
