Little puffs of inspiration here and there
Chevy
August 6, 2010
This car was one of the hardest things I’ve painted. There was no leeway on if it had to look realistic or not, usually I draw organic subjects where it doesn’t matter. But I needed this to look like that specific car, since it’s for my friend who knows everything about cars. I hope he likes it!
Art Chicago
April 30, 2010
I was able to get free tickets to preview Art Chicago this year. Didn’t get to see nearly everything, but still fell in love with a few pieces. Read the rest of this entry »
Life-size Nudie
April 21, 2010
I just finished this piece for my canvass maker. He said he wanted a naked lady, so this is what he gets. Every time he’d cross me I’d threaten to paint him a fat ugly naked dude, but I couldn’t follow through. Not sure what to name her yet, but I am open to suggestions.
“Bird”
I fell in love with screen printing back when I took a workshop at Columbia. I have none of the equipment to properly screen print so this is my make-shift version. I used wax paper cutout of the images and placed it on the painted background, working my ways to the foreground. reverse stenciling I guess. The bird was the opposite, or regular stenciling. I liked the clean edge finish (would be clean if i wasn’t so sloppy) and the unveiling effect of ripping off the wax paper to reveal the final piece.
Hey lady, where you been?
April 8, 2010
Where have I been? It’s been too long since I’ve been a part of the blogging scene, but I couldn’t avoid it any longer. Having so many blogging friends, all I ever heard about was blogging this and blogging that. I’ve formerly dabbled in the livejournal scene but am ready for a change here.
First things first, I am not a writer. Which may be why my livejournal failed and I lost interest. I find anything with writing to be intimidating; I can’t spell, my grammar is terrible and my vocabulary is that of a fourth grader. I am a visual person, I like pictures. I am an artist.
Painting, drawing, illustrating, photography; they’re what I love. Hey, we all gotta express ourselves right?
For starters here’s a link to my website, diannamcnicoll.com ,you can see a few things that I’ve worked on so far. No worries, I’ll keep you posted on current and upcoming artsy fartsy ideas. Till then, it’s good to be back!
