Artist: Carolyn Tucker (Self)

This drawing was fun to do. I allowed myself to not worry about getting the scale just right but rather had fun playing with the image and distortion.
I used charcoal and Indian Ink.

Artist: Greta from Art 333 class

Greta's art is interesting and ever expanding. This particular piece is an oil painting on canvas. She does well with the industrial images. I like to follow her work. She is also a great printmaker and creates some great images through her photo etching techniques.

Another of the other: My Beautiful Grandson

A photograph that I took of my Grandson Christian while my son Miles was home on leave from the army. Christian's expressive playful self is so very refreshing. I love kids and their uninhibited natures.

I tried editing my post but just ended up deleting the old entry and placing in the new one. Adjustments made were with the help of Miles Inada...thanks Miles.
This is one of my Lino Cuts from Printmaking.

Another of the other: Someone I know

Christian Antonio Gonzales is the most incredible kid I've ever encountered. Smart, funny, interested in everything and speaks his mind. I did some adjustments with the color and saturation here to make this photograph work. I like the innocence captured with a bit of playfulness amist the serious look expressed.

Another of the other: Someone I know

Another of the other: I've got to include a few of my Grandson. He is having a blast at the park in Maricopa, Arizona. I like the action with the water and of course his smile is awesome.

A few more of the other: Someone I know

This is more for the other assignment. His name is Christian Antonio Gonzales, is my grandson, four years old and the light of my life.
I like to play, spoil and then give him back to his momma..(HA) I shot this photo on my trip to Arizona.

My current drawings: for Art 333 with Cody

These are two of my most current drawings. The one on the right is titled "I should of gone to the dance". My son was hit by mortar fire in Iraq and his brain was swollen for some time, he had amnesia and it took some time to recover. The title of the piece is from a long running joke with him..Miles always stated "I should of gone to the theater" whenever he does something he regrets. Materials include charcoal, color pencil and Indian ink.
The Abstract piece was done with charcoals, Indian Ink, regular ink pens and color pencils.
The abstract image was done as

Cube Craft

I wanted to include a little bit of humor to my cube so I gave it a lot of hair to keep it warm this winter and leaves to remember that the winter will pass. This project was fun because I played with some tools I hadn't before.

Embrace Thy Self

One of my drawings played with using the paint tool. There is so much you can do...I am starting to get excited to think of what the possibilities will be in the future for my art. To think this is a photograph of my drawing, then drawing on it in photo shop takes it to a new level...and I am just beginning.

One of my drawings...played with.

One of my drawings...played with using the paint brush tool and just plain old playing. I feel like I am just getting into the work and the term is about to end...that's sometimes a blessing but in this case I feel like I am just getting use to the tools and the exploration of what the digital world has to offer. Your imagination can take you anywhere in this world.

1 of 2 from the assignment sketch/scratch

I thought I would do my own version of "The Mechanic. A 1920's oil painting hanging in the National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa.
About Revolution, Reform, and Modernity.
The mechanics of drawing with different tools on the computer brought this to image to mind so I thought that I would draw it...it is kind of fun so I know that I will do more at time passes. So expect to see some trippy stuff...

SIDE EFFECTS......OH MY

The first of two sketch or scratch assignment. This image I did with my right hand although left handed. The computers are set up with the mouse on the right side so I decided to do both images with the opposite hand...
I kept seeing commercials last night with all these side effects a mile long so I thought that I would do something reflecting that.

Artist: Nancy Blevins & Carolyn Tucker

Photographs by Nancy Blevins and by me, together bring in some interesting work. We have done a few works together in the past and maybe someday we will again. She is now out of state working on her BFA with her emphasis in Photography.

ANOTHER of the OTHER: Just another added photo

I took this photograph of some friends and myself at the Science Works Museum here in Ashland, Oregon:
You Stand on one side of the board and press your body against this panel and your image presses into the pegs and causes them to protrude on the other side.... This was fun to experiment with.

Artist: Carolyn Tucker (SELF)

Walking one morning I caught a good shot of water beading up on these leaves. This was just one of those beautiful images that you just have to get once in a while, just because it's pleasing to the eye....

Another Artist: From Science Works in Ashland, Oregon

This is a photograph of an unknown artist from the Science Works here in Ashland, Oregon. The image is quite large and is along side many other images used for educational purposes....the place is just plain ol fun if you haven't gone...go with some friends, you are never to old to have fun and learn.
