Clay Board

By Elisha | Published: February 23, 2010
This is Redgy. He is my clay board experiment.  I must say it’s a bit frustrating to go from the last painting to one that is in the ugly stage right from the beginning. I have done about 3 steps to this. First is the brown one, second is the black (except eyes and nose) and [...]

Celebration. New Give-Away.

By Elisha | Published: February 19, 2010
The other day I was thinking that I only finished two paintings in the almost year since graduation. I was beating myself up pretty bad. Then I read this: “…There are always some aspects of the goal that got accomplished, but the [artist] was discounting them because it wasn’t all of the goal. I have come [...]
