Title pending. Graphite on paper. 2012....

Hi! I'm a degreed artist (BA, Studio Arts, cum laude) & I run a blog on Wordpress, called caloniedoesart. So, naturally, this blog extension is called caloniedoesarttwo. At Wordpress, I focus on my art & the art world in general, but this blog will be all about my art alone with certain posts that feature automatically from my Wordpress blog. It is basically an onscreen art gallery or slideshow (w/out the slide part!). I have an undying passion for art. I consider it a gift and a privilege from God that I'm able to create it. I'm a quirky person and what better way to express my anti-conformist thoughts than as an artist! Only natural...
As far as what else I like to do: read, write (especially poetry), listen to TONS of music, watch Travel Channel, BRAVO & History Channel (those channels stand out), cook/bake, travel & go to a beach or park. I take my digital camera nearly everywhere... Thank you for visiting & feel free to return!

Also check my other blog at Wordpress (caloniedoesart) & my art at paintingsilove.com (Calonie Johnson).

Title pending. Graphite on paper. 2012. (Unfinished)

I have a fascination with the skull and with bones & a fascination for the loveliness of feathers. I am using my hand as a model; also drawing the feathers from an actual one. It’s a lot of work to render the separate barbs (represented by the lines in the feathers) and to render the wispy downy feathers growing out of the calamus (the quill). I can’t duplicate what God has done in all His mathematical Genius, but the skull, feathers & hand are looking quite good so far!
