Week 14

I worked a lot on my painting. It needs a few pushes and pulls particularly around the figure and the people in the foreground so that they are more integrated. I am happy with how it is going and plan to be finished by next week.

I also continued sketching and collaging for more possible composition ideas. As I was working on my presentation I also feel like I consolidated my ideas of what I have been doing lately. I am making landscapes that are not all real but instead explore fantasies and enchantments drawn from elements of past that no longer exist. The extravagance in these landscapes is an attempt to get back to New Orleans and the simplicity of home as a child.
