artist of the week :: carne griffiths





carne griffiths' paintings and illustrations are energetic and controlled all at once.

he drips and controls ink washes and applies marks with pen and pencil - all creating atmospheric portraits full of emotion - specifically strength and poise. the women he paints are typically juxtaposed with natural elements (leaves, feathers, tree branches, etc), showing woman's communion and connection with nature.

check out more about him and his art here.

(thanks to brienna wirley for the heads up on this great artist)

i'm convinced... i have the best job in the world.

theres honestly no better way to end the work day than 2 hours with a group of 16 dedicated, talented, and caring young artists. its been a very focused work week this week, and i felt that friday afternoon needed to be documented.
here are in-progress pictures of their first AP Drawing concentration works. 











i love my job.
