Art & stuff...

Our college art department faculty has an exhibit of their artwork at the Fort Worth Community Arts Center, so tonight I dragged Hubby to the reception. I didn't have to tie him up kicking and screaming, but he DID pay me back... by telling one of our instructors "Angela likes to watch porn".

What??? Where did THAT come from??? Granted, I'm taking this out of context from the conversation which was a humorous one with a cool teacher, but still... I was so shocked I couldn't even defend myself. According to them I turned 5 shades of red. Very funny people, very funny. Paybacks are hell ya know.

Moving right along...

On another note, I've thrown together an artwork website - riderang.bravehost.com . There's some glitches I need to fix regarding the window sizes of artwork when you click on them, so ignore that problem for now. This HTML crap is a pain sometimes.

I had posted those crummy cellphone photos of my artworks the last few weeks, but in preparation for the juried art competition my painting teacher took some better photos and gave them to me. So if you want a better look at these pieces, click on each one and it will show a larger view and with MUCH better color, more true to the original artwork.

This next one I did specifically for the juried competition in November. Being that it's a student competition, I decided I needed a subject that all college students could relate to and understand. So I came up with this:

Study Break

40" x 32"

There's not a college student out there that hasn't had a night like this, either cramming for finals or trying to complete a project due the next day. In spite of all the "study aids" (i.e. energy drink, candy, music etc), in the wee hours of the morning they still succumb to their fatigue. What starts as a short break results in being zonked out.

Again, that will be the November show at the Fort Worth Community Arts Center. I may not drag Hubby to that reception...
