I started on the third, and probably final piece. I was originally going to do a single monkey, hanging from a vine, but I started thinking and decided to do a parent and child, seeing as it is for a pediatrician's office.

Research:

Katie Carlsruh is an artist who has a similar painting style as me. She has some paintings of jungle animals, which nothing else in the picture. Similar to me, but I typically have something small in with the animal.

Rachel Hershkovitz has one piece that has a similar color scheme to mine, but it is a very different style and subject.

I worked on the eyes, and I'm so much happier with them, and now I'm done with the owl.

I had a meeting with Ms. Hughes after school, and she and I talked about the research aspect of the project. She told me to look up artists who use similar color schemes and animal artists.

I worked on the owl. I added another branch on the top of the tree, and I worked on the eyes, but I hate it, so I'm going to re-do them. I am happy with the way the wings and the nose turned out. I darkened the gold so there would be a bigger contrast.

Today there was a meeting for the people doing the personal project. There were a couple things I wasn't aware I had to do/couldn't remember if I had already talked about them. So:

My Goal:
Three or four paintings to be done by the end of November.

I also didn't realize I had to do research, and since this is project that is very much in my head, the research I am saying I have done so far is the emails with Ron-Li about what she wants and the google searching I did to get ideas for each painting.

I emailed Ms. Hughes today, asking if we could have meeting sometime this week, just to check in. We also had a very quick conversation last week after school one day, and she just asked how I was doing on it, and if I needed any help.
