Update on the Holy Name of Jesus Church triptychs!
Parishioners volunteered to dress up in Biblical costumes to pose for a reference photoshoot. I then compiled them into reference images on my iPad for the final designs!
I’ve made progress on the Pentecost side, but Joseph’s side is giving me trouble given how “blue” everything is - I’m trying to avoid turning everyone into smurfs!
Thank you to all who volunteered to pose for my references. It’s been amazing hearing your stories and incorporating them into these artworks.
The next step? Get these designs approved! Then I can practice on 1/4-sized canvases (5 foot) before tackling the full 20-feet.
Thank You!
Thank you for keeping up to date on my art career and ambitions!
I’m excited to say I’ve been accepted into the Oatley Academy “Clockwork Heart” mentorship with Chris Oatley and his band of misfit artists!
Among art-related activities, I experienced my first crawfish boil, listened to the amazing stories of friends and lived my own - all while marveling at the beauty of God’s fingerprints all over our lives.
Cheers to June and the chance to start something new!
