The Art Show

There was a student art exhibit at the college last week. It was an impressive display. There is a lot of talent on the campus. It also gave me many creative ideas that I am trying to file away in my head for future reference. Marina had three works in the show. On the left, she is standing next to her self portrait. Below, she is standing near one of her still life sketches.


Below is an ink drawing she did of shoes. Sorry these are so small. I forgot my camera and used my cell phone camera. My father's cell took the photos above.

I'm amazed at the work she's produced in her sketching class. I've never given her a lot of formal training in art, preferring my parents method. They let me explore my art talents on my own until I chose to go to an art centered high school. This was her first actual art class with a teacher that explained techniques. She really enjoyed this class, and that joy shines through in her drawing.

I think she's found her niche. I am in awe of her work.
