Goat-Tee

I created this for the Youth Art Contest where the theme was Western Lifestyle. I didn't have as much time to have worked on this as I would have liked to, but I am happy with the results. Oil pastels and acrylic.

Recently I have been playing around with ball point pen and have really enjoyed it. So I decided to draw one of the old building where I live. Ball point pen, colored pencils, and textile paper with water and acrylic smudging it.

For this piece I wanted to show that something can look perfect and happy from the outside but if you look carefully it may not be. This is a cyanotype with colored pencils over it.

This is a graphite drawing of my friends grandmothers eyes. I wanted to capture the wisdom and ferocity that is shown from watching the years go by.
