Most of my work is at my college, but I can show you what I have with me and what I have been working on the past couple of weeks. If that is not satisfactory, then please feel free to look at my general style of work on this link:

Portraiture would be the best option. Although not many of those shots are in this project, I have never used indecent images.
For example- the original shot of 015 (the image below and also on the website above) was taken on a trampoline and the model was only wearing stockings and a long jumper which made the upper part of her legs and some of her pants visible. Therefore I sacrificed some of the quality to make that part too dark to be visible- as I dont have a decent editing system.
Recently I have taken shots of family and friends. Examples of some of the images I have used are as below:

model aged 3. model aged 3. model aged 10.
(All have given me permission to use these images in my work)

To show you want happens to the photographs when I paint them, here is an example of the route that I'm taking. It's still not exactly what I want yet, but no major changes will be made to the placement of the figure. It's all about the painting technique. I really have no idea why it insists to be portrait instead of landscape... sorry! haha.

another example is:

I hope that is okay. Please let me know if you would like any more examples.

well... it has indeed been a while since my last post!

nearly half a year in fact.. thats quite shameful really.

I decided what to do my art project: Reflections, which has now focussed onto the lovely topic of body reflecting the mind e.g. anorexia. I didn't just go out and pick the most depressing aspect of reflections possible, I'm planning on doing psychology at Uni and this is a way that i can combine the two together.

Thank you to the person who voted for 'cities' in the post, but unfortunately someone else beat me to that one and they've made an amazing project out of it. The deadline is December 17th, so between now and then, i have two composition studies to paint and a finial piece to compose and paint. I'm not too worried about it for once... I suppose its because i've been working on this project since september.

But anyway, I have more news! November 29th is the one year anniversary of my relationship with the daring boy David. Seeing as the actual day is on a Monday, we are going to spend the weekend together instead.

We already have gifts for each other - I got him a unique leather band with a magnetic strap and I engraved the buckle 'Love You Always'.

I'm not sure what he has gotten me, but I'm not really thinking about it. i just hope he likes his present.

We are faced with a little problem though... we've already been out for meals, seen movies, gone for walks, had nights in, cooked.... we're not sure what else we can do to make this weekend special. Any suggestions anyone?

Also, would you like to see my artwork from this year?

Hope you're well

Best wishes

I've just joined

I've got 5 more exams to do:
Philosophy, Ethics and Psychology 1 on the 7th June
Biology 2 on the 8th June
Psychology 2 on the 10th of June
then i'm done :)

Not going to lie.. I'm a little scared about June 7th. 10 essays to write. 6 hours of exams. Then having to go home and revise for biology- recently learned to dislike the subject.

These next couple of weeks are going to be difficult, but summer and the photoshoot will be sooooo worth it :D the little tiniest problem though...
I have 10 weeks of plans.. and only 6 weeks of holiday to fill ... I guess I got a little carried away whilst dreaming of summer.

Paris, Cornwal, Portugal, London, Choir, Jersey and starting my coursework for Art A2...which I will need some help deciding what to do.
