Into Ozma's Domain

Okay.

I'll start from the begging

*takes huge breath*

L. Frank Baum, born in 1856, was a children's author. In his time he wrote many children's classins, but one of his most famouse peices of literature was a series called the "Oz" series.

In him time he whent on to write 14 different books about "Oz" along with characters such as Dorothy, Toto, the Tin Woodman, the Cowardly Lion and so on.

Later, after his dfeath i 1919 Hollywood adapted the ideas of "the Wizard of Oz" and turned it into an award winning movie (even though the Hollywood version was nothing like the book).

So, stumbling upon the series I quite enjoyed the long read. I admire the stylings of baum's work to the fullest.

So, this is a peice done in ink (2009) of Dorothy traveling to the Emerald City to meet with her comrad, Ozma, Princess of Oz. (corny... I know. But to equil out my painting done of characters from books, I had to even out the score some how)

First time with ink, first time with tiny faces i.e. Dorothy.

Peaches at Sun Rise

Anopther oldy, done at my art class. My first water colour EVER so please don't critsize it...
P.S. don't blame me if you find I have an obsesion with sun rises ('cause if you've seen my scetches you'd never bear to see another sun rise again)
:~)
P.S.S.
I love these little smiley faces!!!

Lady Kathryn

Listen up ya'll!!!!

This a portrait of the terrifying, ferocius, deathly

DUH DUH DUH!!!

KATIE!! :O

Hope ya'll think it's an exceptable likeness, 'cause this WAs done in only 2007, like a million years ago so....

BTY

I'll be uploading new pictures as soon as possible, but for now look at all my old stuff.

P.S. Kate's not this chubby in reality ;)

Christopher Peace

Okay, okay...

This is a random dude my hand gust scribled on my paper in the midst of an art class sesion (2007 probably). Also, for a side not, my art class bud 'Kat' and her other art class bud (who's name I regretfully forget) officialy named him "Christopher Peace" because they said he was too peacful (as if their unicorn scretches weren't peacful already)!!!!
They were also debating if they should re-name him "Christopher Robin", as if I wanted my art to be a daija-vue of a Pooh Bear character ;B

Me!

No, I'm not that good.

This is definatly not my work.

This is a charcoal impresion of me painting somerthing.

My art teacher's daughter (who is older than me *and much more artisticly gifted* has a habit of drawing her mum's students while they're at work.

She did this one of me and I asked to keep it.

So here it is

A good likeness maybe?...

Na, ma hair's WAY rattier! ;)

Clare

This a painting of a school friend named Clare. We've know each other since before Grade 1 and she happened to send me a picture of herself in a holiday greeting card. I decided to use the photo for a project in art class: paint a human face (DUH DUH DUH!!!)

I later gave it to her as a birthday present and it now hangs on her bedroom wall (she still thinks it doesn't suck like I do...) :~)

Midnight Vase

This happens to be a more successful art project than others, and I'm quite happy with the way things turned out, even though I did this around and in 2007. Not much to say but this was aimed to be a syudy (me trying to sound profesional about it) of a flower and vase done in black paint shading.

Hay stacks and Vitamin

First of all, I couldn't think of a better name for this one...

In beggining my art classes I did a series of paintings and drawings that aren't exactly my favourites now that I look back. Thsi is one of them. This was an experament I contested to somewhere in 2007. The project was to reproduct three images in front of the other, each with a darker shading exc...

I also had some fun with dark to light in the blue sky with splashes of orange in the air... ;)

Not sure why the hay stacks.
