Childhood, relationships, and restaurants. Finally done this final!

These are the final paintings. I'm going to rework three of them over the summer, but this is what I turned in as my final for Elements of Visual Thinking.

They are about my childhood and growing up in a Chinese restaurant and the relationships I formed in it with the customers and my family.

Finals turn my room into a pig sty.

ELEMENTS Final: WIP so far

CLICK ON THE PHOTOS FOR ENLARGEMENTS, ESPECIALLY THE BEFORE AND AFTER PICTURES.

Together right now I have 4 paintings near completion, this is them alltoether.



The latest with some before and after.. sort of.



And my favourite painting so far is this one... with all the stages of the faces that gave me so much grief this past week.

And the final outcome is:


I feel like all of them are coming a long way.

Drawing final: WIP

I restarted this piece twice- it used to be much, much smaller.



Both panels are 56" wide. The white part will be cut off. It started off with a fairytale, there were going to be elements and characters of various fairytales included throughout the piece, but it has since evolved into a landscape. Maybe. I'm thinking there will be 3 panels total, unless I find time for more.

Finals have brought me so much heartache these past few weeks.
