Introducing MINI

Click on the link "mini"-->

to see my latest creations inspired by our

Gestalt Theory project in 2D art class.

My mind automatically makes pictures out of everything. This frustrated the Prof a little because she was trying to teach me concepts. I did manage to grasp new concepts and make some fun pictures. Read the titles and enjoy!

Bee new things

Welcome to 2D art class. This mini was inspired by the concept PROXIMITY. Our minds automatically group things together. I made some dots, looked at it and thought BEE. So here is the first of the Gestalt Theory mini series.

Thankful Tree

I had a fun ART idea!

Process art, where the process is the art

and the end result may look like art... it may not.

If you don't know, i love Christmas time! I have a new 7ft tree. I set it up in time for Nov.1st

I am going to take ALL of November to write out things i am thankful for. Those little papers will then make a chain of garland all around my Christmas tree.

I'll post again closer to Thanksgiving.

accepted!

It's official!
I have been accepted to Herron School of Art IUPUI.
I will start classes in May. Meanwhile I'm applying for scholarships and grants. If you know of anyone who needs art work done let me know. Business is slow in my retail day job so now it the time to have me do art for you or someone you know. Thanks for reading my blog. Email me :-)

Santa Train

The month of October was packed full of work for Christmas! My friend Desi and I worked on restoring this 1970's "blow mold" of Santa and toy train.

Time and age had damaged some of the plastic, which we filled. And Santa's red suit was badly faded. Some of the colors just needed to come out of the 70's and into the new millenia.

We had many challenges but still enjoyed working on it very much. (Did you know that air guns can explode paint all over your workspace?) hehe. I really had fun repainting the toys in the train tinder box.

The restored Santa has great color and everyone really loved it.

Tell me what you think!

New Haiku

Just to let you know what I've been working on lately...

I've finished another Haiku inspired painting. This poem made me laugh because I thought of a drunk bee falling out the saloon doors of a peony. In the end I went with a more realistic view. I did, however, learn that taking reference photos of a bee is quite challenging.

Art Show success

"Get a feel For Central Library:

Rubbings by KKR & KAS"

art show was a huge success. We had over 15 people come. Some even bought artwork!

We really had fun making the art and enjoyed sharing that fun with our friends and family. Hope to see you next time!

(Sorry, i do not have pictures of those who attended. See Kumari's facebook.)
