Basquiat and the Camera

Graphic '6 x 10'

Just me wearing Basquiat T-shirt

A Chorus Line within A Chorus Line



This is a graphic I created in 2001 using an actual photo we took of the actors in "A Chorus Line" at the Boiler Room Theater and then I focused on each actor individually creating another he/she in my own vision of a graphic character by hand drawing on the computer with my mouse - it's almost as if the REAL actors are looking down at their ART counterparts. A lof of work was involved here and quite tedious- BUT - I have treasured this piece so much!

Fence and Bucket (My Finished Piece)

Fence and Bucket - Pencil "8 x 11"
Warm ups always a good thing!! Remembering to "draw what you see"
Just learn to see it -I still am...learning...everyday!

I'm a Litttle Tea Kettle Exercise

I'm a Little Teapot - MY pencil sketch '3 x 3'

More warm up sketch exercises - How to Draw What You See by Rudy De Reyna. Cubes, circles, cones and cylinders form all basic shapes and when the eye learns to see it - it becomes so clear.

Pencil Sketches - Warm Ups

My Pencil Sketches
'3 x 3'

Going back to basics, I always feel it's good for me, just to sit and sketch on my drawing pad after having been away from it for a while - a warm up in hand exercises - like riding a bike...."How to Draw What You See" by Rudy De Reyna. A good back to basic book and a great reference.

A Moment of Peace by NELSON

'283 x 327' graphic

This is a drawing by "my sister #4" created in MrPicasso Head. She sent to me and I manipulated it so that I could take it from the gallery and place it here. Most of my siblings draw or paint so did my father and mother...so I guess it's definitely hereditary.

~Cards~

'2560 x 1220' graphic

Was inspired recently during July 4th...thinking about college days when we would start a card game, play cards all day long -as one player had to leave for class, someone coming from a class would take that seat....those were the days of old school -games like Spades, 5 up, Red Devil, Pinochle, and the most famous of all...BID WHIZ...and watching family play crazy 8's during the holiday brought back sweet memories entitled "CARDS"

On the Wall


Well, needless to say this is a section of my wall. I enjoy my artwork so much in that it soothes my soul in many ways and keeps me balanced. I created these between 2004-2006 and they are all so very special to me in representing certain periods of my life. The mediums range from pencil, colored pencil, watercolor, graphics and mixed-mediums.

Jackson Pollock by Misssweetsugar



Here are my "Jackson Pollocks" created by me. I went to the web site "Paint your own Jackson Pollock." The first one is "Untitled", the second "Dancers" and the third is entitled "Drizzle". Unfortunately you do have to own a art program to bring it from the web since you cannot save it to the desktop other than a web file. Create your own and find the artist in you! I created the "Pollocks", took a screen print, then pasted it into my art program. Mind you, Adobe would not allow it, but a little bitty program called "Paint" did so and that goes to show...a little engine CAN and WILL...

S

Museum of Bad Art

REALLY? There is really such a place??!!?? I won't touch this one. Not I. Nope. Nada. No way!!
I've got to think about this one.

Paint your own Jackson Pollack

YES...you can actually "paint your own Jackson Pollock"....how bout that? His technique was innovative yet so simplistic. Create your own and find the artist in you...

Artcyclopedia

Head on over to ARTCYCLOPEDIA for some inspiration, some excitement and inspiration. I spend hours on the site as I get caught up in so many aspects. I'm sure you will find this a fascinating place to be. If so, come back and tell me about it..

This may be a helpful site which provides resources for Artisans to receive aid. In the field of Art, we could all use information for avenues of this venue.

Gawker Artists

I found this web site akin to some of the artistic work I do sometimes with photographs - rebuild something totally different from the actual photo but not losing the character of the original picture. Using this technique can be fun and so creative, though provoking and a beautiful piece of work. Artists are welcome to submit an application to become a part of this site. Specifications are noted as well.
