pop art "Floral collage"

This piece was for me a lost possibility. the layering process i used yielded an interesting piece that unfortunately while cool was not pop art. in the effort to recreate this piece i lost a unique work that upsets me but makes me understand my own limits and the limitation of the guidelines art may bend to. in other words when its done its done regardless if it is right or not.

Success! "Vantage View"

 This piece was done in my altered book. an experiment of a style i have been working on involving layering paint and choosing a well defined focus. I liked this piece incredibly, as a testament to a successful application of my style and an inspiration for future works. i have to say the picture does the art up close little justice.

"The Celts"

               I was very excited when I began this work and strived to choose an interesting subject, the Celts. As i progressed with no real plan mt work was really a touch and feel basis as to what i wanted to happen with the piece. When I finally finished it was struck by inspirational lightning and rather than give it life, it left a unique if rather obtrusive scar that i feel takes away from the overall composition of the work while providing a sense of unity. a love hate relationship that makes me question my thinking but that is now undeniably apart of the overarching concept i strove for if rather out of place.
