Midterm Assignment for Painting class. Objective was to "break the rectangle". This was a bit tricky because a good amount of traditional artwork is done in an angular or rectangular format. After the 2nd week (2 weeks before the midterm) the idea of bubbles popped in. This took a good amount of time due to the layers.

Assignment#2 Political. An overview of the repulsion from the Bush Administration along with the movement following the cult of personality from the last election. For this election year, it seemed ripe for a critique at a crossroads considering the current political/socio-economic track we are in.

Assignment#1 Perspective . This assignment required a good amount of perspective view in the painting. I decided to do the North side of the campus facing the west due to the scenery and lighting. I wanted to emulate the serene ambiance from the location. Enjoy.

One of my other assignments for painting class. I wanted to do a piece on the works of both the late radio host/author/political activist William Cooper and author/researcher/lecturer Fritz Springmeier. Their research and work to expose the agendas of global secret societies, several international organizations and their desire to build a world empire reminiscent of Ancient Babylon has come into fruition for many.
