Lake House

This is Lake House with a few revisions, mainly making the house larger in order to accommodate the furniture. The entire left side of the house was extended about 4'. I also enlarged the porch and included a screen enclosing the porch. The great room is bigger also. Furniture was added according to what the Blanding's wanted in their home. My job was to search furniture sites and fill their Lake House with the style of furniture I liked.

This is the first version of the Lake House floor plan, just the basics.

Lights

To me I really feel that all of these images show light in many different and fascinating ways. I am especially drawn to lights that glow/starburst or project downward into water.
Multicolored lights are also very interesting, Northern Lights are absolutely amazing in how they light up the sky in many arrangements of colors. Lights in the sky projecting from the clouds or shining down rays onto the land demand your attention and draw your eye all the way down. The image of the glow in the jar is very fascinating in the fact that it is a soft light and easy to look at and creates a red color on the wall when the actual light is a yellow-orange.

Shadow boxes

We took items from our Junk Drawers and put them in 3-D shadow boxes. We practiced our shading and cross-hatching. According to my shading the light is in the top left corner.

Junk Drawer

On an 18x24 paper we were to draw items we might find in a junk drawer and make a collage type. I ran out of things to draw quickly and had to resort to my toolbox.

Vanishing Point

My selection to put on the 18x24, between two shelves on the 9th floor of the Jackson Library.
