My extra artwork.

I volunteered to create some extra pieces for my Painting/Drawing/Photo class in Rome. I was really excited to "respond" to the photographs that I had taken. I wanted to try and create pieces that echoed the Medieval era, but also experimented with color and line in a more contemporary way. I created a diptych of two of my favorite photos that I took while I was abroad. These pieces are mixed media on canvas. I experimented with different paints, in combination with pastels ( my favvvvvorite ) and I also used items like Euro coins and feathers. I am not an art major, but I still have a blast creating pieces that are fun and not so serious. 

Gracie

This is me, and my amazing Persian cat Gracie. I missed her a lot while I was gone. 

No.

Awesome blonde, purple, red and brown hybrid mullet. 

Just some random photos. I chose not to do anything special with these, they are not my favorite, however they assist in my documentation of redheads in Italy.

I created THIS photo by........

Combining all of these images, pretty cool, eh?

one of my favorites

Ok, since I have told Isaac (my husband) that I did this, I can FINALLY share the photos. 

This photos were taken at St. Angelo Bridge, just outside of Castle Sant' Angelo. All over the grating to the bridge there were locks. Each lock had 2 names written on it, representing a relationship. The back of the locks had the date that these people either started dating, or got married. Along with some of my friends in Rome, we all decided to do the same for our significant others back in the states. 

This was my gift to my husband. We now have a lock, representative of our love for one another, steadfast and strong, on a pretty important bridge in Rome, Italy.

A True Redhead!

Even though this woman is not what we call a "fire head," she is still a red head. Even though her strawberry locks differ from the others, I want to show that there are indeed strawberry headed woman running around Italy! It is not all dye.
