The garden sprayer has taken over my life..

New series I've started.. not quite sure how I'm feeling about it yet.

..but I do know one thing:

I'm in love with the garden sprayer. I'm slowly getting better at controlling it and it's definitely the one thing I will use as much as possible after Spray class is over. That and aerosol cans. Luckily neither of those two methods require any compressed air. Woohoo!

So time to start a blog I guess..

For those of you that don't know me, I'm a painting student working, studying and living in downtown Halifax. I've decided I should start sharing my work with more people than my immediate family, teachers and classmates... and what better way than through the big black hole that is the internet. Here we go..

I'm currently taking one studio class this summer. It's called Spray and, like the name indicates, we're learning alternative methods for laying down paint.. No brushes allowed. So far I've gotten to play with garden sprayers, pneumatic spray guns, air-brushing and now, aerosol cans. The whole thing has been fun... and quite a leap from the oil paintings I've been working on lately.

The above are some images of stuff I came up with in spray.
