My interpretation of the #Pointillism painting by Theo van Rysselbergh “Beach at Low Tide, Ambleteuse, Evening”. I have always adored this painting, I loved the use of colors. I did my best to do it from life, spent a few hours at the #portlandartmuseum however there were many people there so it was difficult. I really enjoyed this style and hopefully I will make more like it.

Fall term I am happily taking a drawing class, and here is a gallery of Unit 1 and Unit 2:
[Re-posted from FaceBook] I am feeling my “artist brain” coming back to me, ever so slowly. Like a long lost friend that I was really close to but due to circumstances I had to part. Sure we talked once and a while but it wasn’t the same.
But now we are together again, and communication is hard, but there are moments of how it use to be, and something strangely new wrapped up into it all.
I feel myself drifting back into this place that I use to visit, zone out and stare at something seemingly banal but then it lights on fire and explodes with content and purpose. I come to, shaken by someone needing my attention, and realize I had been staring at the legs of an out door table.
I am excited that I am experiencing this. I still have the moments of depression were I feel like there is no point it putting pencil to paper, but then I do, force myself, go go past this invisible wall of doubt/fear/pain and joy fills me.
HAHA!
I finally am taking a WordPress class this term at PCC and I can’t be more excited! I will be making a LOT of back end changes to my site, maybe some front end we shall see. I am trying to get my SEO back up to snuff. Unfortunate when you Google my name I am no longer #1, which is sad :(.
Anyway I am learning a TON of new stuff and I cannot wait to implement it on my site.
Well I find myself again, pulling my hair out trying to figure out how to make certain code to work.
And really my issue is with inheritance of CSS. I had a <header> with an <img> then a <p>, and then 3 more <img>s. I had them all in the same selector. I wanted the first <img> to be to the left, the <p> next to it, then the other 3 <img>s to the right. Easy? No. The 3 <img>s where inheriting the style from the first <img>, and no matter WHAT I did it wouldn’t stop.
I FINALLY on a whim was like, lets put these 3 <img>s into there own <div> under the <header>. BOOM. MAGIC. I only figured this out after putting it away for a while. I dislike stopping when I am in a grove; I just like to get things done when I am working on them. So here are some sites I have been working on:
Also I finally picked up a small sketchbook and I am gonna MAKE myself draw in it at least once a day. I need, need, need, to get back into the habit of drawing. I use to fill up a sketchbook at least once a month, and since I started working I lost that habit. I have lost so much quality and detail. One of these days I need to take some sort of anatomy class or something. But anyway here she is:
