It’s just a peek…

This semester as a Painting II student I have been
working a series of paintings that all follow the same theme.
While I am still working on a title,
the working title that my teacher and I have tossed around is
Parts of Parts.
I believe I have mentioned this project before.
I finally remembered to take pictures
and while I only got a few in before my camera's battery died,
I thought I would post them.
After sharing them with my parents I realized
that I’d probably need to explain a bit more about them.
I’ll try.

This is just to show you the size.
Those are regular size pieces of paper in the background.
This is also not the complete series.
These are just the ones that I had up before my camera's battery died.

The other side view.
With these paintings you need to look at them from
all of the angles before you really understand them...
and even then I understand that not everyone does.

(Nose - Acrylic - 5x5x3 in.)
This is the first piece that I did.
It is a nose if you were not sure.
It's my friend Amy's nose.
I like the contrasts and the fact that you need to look
at it from different angles to figure it out.

(Ear - Acrylic - 5x5x3 in.)
This is the second piece that I did.
It's an ear.
I was waiting for my mouth model to arrive
and my friend Donna was sitting in the ceramics room (where I usually paint)
and she had her hair up and I thought, "I want to paint that." so I did.
I really like this one.

(Nose and Mouth - Acrylic - 4x4x1 6/8 in.)
This is my most recent painting.
(well, I have touched up paintings since this...)
This is a nose mouth combo of my friend Catherine.
I really like the nose, but I don't consider the mouth finished
although both the model and my art teacher like it as is.
We'll see who wins.
