Getting Warm

Nigerian Mail Fraud

Multimedia

24" x 10"

Weather report = snow. We have just entered March, which usually means slushy roads and the first flower buds. But no, we had to get more snow. Somebody should straighten out that groundhog, he is clearly not doing his job. I'll get over it. I just look forward to warmer weather sooooo bad. Our latest project for Interpretive class was about personal interpretations through style, storytelling and concept. The topic was Nigerian Mail Fraud. We chose letters that were determined to be fraudulant and illustrated them to our liking. My letter dealt with the oil industry and children introduced to warfare. The illustration is separated into three 8" x 10" panels. I chose to paint it as one entire landscape. I was excited to use both traditional and digital media. Happy with some things, but not so happy with others. Is there too much happening? I think there is. I know the colour and darkness gave me fits. It was good practice on a limited time schedule. I think I want to pursue the idea amalgamating painted grounds and digital graphics. HYBRIDS!
