Taste The Rainbow (My Concentration)

Apple

Pear

Pineapple

Strawberry

Kiwi

Starfruit

Pomegranate

Cheeries

Peach

Banana

Lemon

Watermelon

This was my concentration (series of 12) for my AP Studio Art class. They're all the same size and pretty big. One night I was playing around with chalk pastels and decided to do a pear because I had never used the medium before. I ended up loving it and made it my concentration for the year.

My Per Diem

This is one of my favorites. The words on the petals say ...

"She takes photographs of people she knows.

She brings out the best and worst in them.

And god is buried deep in the folds,

Of her fractured self and the lies that they've told.

She used to laugh at everything old.

It was a joke that never aged a bit.

But when they robbed her of her infinite smile;

She said maybe I'll just play dead for a while.

And in this moment, They'll be fallin in love.

It's my per diem."

They're the lyrics to Retarded in Love by Say Anything.
