A Little Less Recent

Hi, everyone!

Painting has been a love of mine for a few years, but only recently have I really had the chance to spend some time on it. I graduated from American University last year. During that final year of college, I took two art electives (which happened to be two of my favorite courses!). Both of my professors, Bill Wallace and Zoe Charlton, gave me a lot of freedom, and I definitely appreciated that! I couldn't wait to pick up a paintbrush and dive back into art. It had been years since I did any real painting. Below are a few of my favorite works from that last year of college.

"Alice laughed, 'There's no use trying,' she said, 'one can't believe impossible things.'

"'I daresay you haven't had much practice,' said the Queen. 'When I was your age, I always did it for half-an-hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.'"

-Lewis Carroll, Through the Looking Glass

Welcome!

Hi everyone!

With the suggestion from my current art instructor, Shara Banisadr (http://www.rumicard.com/), I decided to create my very own art blog. I plan to post photos of my art, events in which I will be attending and participating, and my general thoughts and feelings about art.

Stay tuned!

Thanks,

Kristin
