Painted Pony

Here is my latest work of art. I took this photo back in October, I don't think the guy knew I was taking a picture of him... he he he. I decided to do a painterly effect, which made it look old fashioned. I kinda like it.

My latest Photo Project

So, I'm really excited to show you this. It's a photo project that I've been working on for a few weeks. I've entitled it "Family Tree". At first glance, it looks like just a tree, but look closer and you will see the tree is actually hands, and that the tree is covered in family photos. Let me know what you think!

Here they are!

Well, I know it was longer than a week to get these posted, but here are the two things I did that got posted on the wall. The first is the watercolor I did of my nephew, Deegan. The second is a panoramic picture of a haunted swing.

I love to see the temple

I was out photographing today and I took this photo. I'm just so grateful for temples! I'm also so grateful for this beautiful world we have to live in. There is just so much to capture!!

My latest watercolors

Here is the last watercolor that I finished:





Here is the one I'm working on now... it's almost done, so when it is I'll replace this with the finished one.

A work in progress

The first assignment in my watercolor class was to paint a sunflower. I think it's finished... I might need to make a few touchups on it, but I thought I would show it to you:

My Artwork

My friend, Anna, suggested that I show you all some of the artwork I worked on over the past semester. So here it is.

Color Photography

I did quite a few projects in this class, I didn't really feel that challenged though. A lot of the stuff we were learning, I already knew, however, here are a few projects I did that I rather enjoyed:

This was an abstract piece. I covered my lens with a piece of plastic wrap and took a picture of a tulip. I really like how it turned out.


This was a semester long project. I had to go to the same spot several times during different times of the day and take a picture of the same thing. It was really cool to see how it changed as it got later into summer, and the lighting changed it as well. I chose a spot out by a waterfall, it was very peaceful and quiet, so it was nice in the early morning hours.


Graphic Design

This is my first project. We had to design shapes into something pleasing. This is what I came up with:


My second project was to come up with a logo. I had to come up with the company idea and name, and it had to do something with reptiles. I then had to design the logo for it. I was really shocked when my instructor chose mine as one of the strongest in the class!! I also had to do stationery for the company.

This was my final project. I had to design a poster for an art exibit of the works of Buckminster Fuller:

I was very proud of myself. I got a B+ for my final grade for the class. This is quite an accomplishment for this class! He was a hard grader and if you did exactly what he asked you to do, no more, no less... you got an average grade of a C. So by getting a B+ it meant that I had gone above and beyond! Wahoo!!

Cute Little Madeline

Over the past 2 weeks I got to spend some time with my sister, Missy and her family. We spent a lot of time taking pictures of my cute little niece, Madeline. We had a lot of fun trying to come up with creative ways to take pictures... and boy was she a wiggley one! It was a lot of fun though, and here are just a few of the pictures I took:

I'll write more about my trip a little later.
