Opening Up the Vaults to Bring You An Oldy but Goodie

in #art7 years ago

Every once in a while I think it's kind of fun to show you some art that was created a while back. This is a watercolor study that was done back in art school. They set up an arrangement of things and depending on where in the class we were sitting, that's what we had to draw and paint. So this was what my angle showed.

String of Pearls

I really had fun capturing the little details like the pearls..

All in How You Frame It

The details in the frame were cool. I remember all the details now, having painted each little curve!

And the Boot to Boot!

I liked painting the stitching and the worn areas.

Metal Curves

I liked the shape of this cool metal tureen. I love that handle and all the angles on it.

My painting technique has gotten a bit cleaner and probably more precise since then, but it's fun to look back and see where I have come from. This has a looseness that I still enjoy too. Here's to seeing where we've come from and looking forward to good things in the future!

Hello @karaelizabeth! When you commented on the humansofsteemit post I went to see your work and realized I'm already following you and that we joined at the same time. Yet somehow I've missed your posts!! I'm going to put you on my list of people to take a look at, you make lovely work!

Hello! Thank you so much. I am a huge fan of your work too. How fun that we joined at the same time. I joined up and then got cold feet and didn't post or get involved. It's only been since January of this year that I've jumped in and started posting and sharing. I'm so enjoying being here and all the wonderful new people I'm meeting here. I love being able to write as well, since I really enjoy that.
So glad that our paths have crossed! I'm just about to start a new wave painting series, so I'll be posting about that soon!
All the best, Kara

Ah that explains why I haven't seen much of your work! Glad you're back and fully IN, I agree that the writing AND art make posting enjoyable and rich.

Glad our paths have crossed and I look forward to seeing your wave series - I love waves!

Yeah, its kind of funny when I look at my "join date". Makes me think, "I should have been doing this a long time ago!". But sometimes the timing just isn't right. And sometime you just finally grab hold of courage and say "today is the day!" : )

Yes I agree, timing is somewhat mysterious and it has to be in alignment. Just glad that you found your way back here.
