To break in my new art supplies, I decided to do a quick study.

When I first started making art years ago, I only used acrylic paint. Since returning, I’ve been layering in pastels, colored pencils, collage whatever sparks something.

This was really fun- It's Ellen Joe in My OC Ariyah's outfit, and Ariyah in Ellen's outfit. They feel so similar as characters, I'd been wanting to draw this for them for a while!

Unfortunately due to health issues had to cancel stream yesterday. Welcome to the life of a invisible disability where you are completely healthy then drop like a bag of bricks.

BUT to make up for it here's a thumbnail I did for my previous stream! #blackartist #disabled #creatorclub #streamupdate

So this was another redraw and a pretty tedious one at that as I just could not figure out how I wanted to render the clouds.

By African-American artist Leroy Allen (1951-2007), “Sun Drops," 2001, 29x21 inches (737x533 mm), photo: Swann Auction Galleries, New York, April 5, 2018. More in ALT. #BlackHistoryMonth #blackartist #blackart
A young black girl eating an icee. Behind her hang a pair of blue overalls and a white sheet. Bright sunshine, her face in partial shade. From Wikipedia: ‘Of Allen's artistic skill, New Orleans art critic Doug MacCash wrote: "Although many people think of watercolor as the genteel choice of Sunday painters, it may actually be the most difficult artistic technique to master. A great watercolorist is able to create a painting with such economy and deftness that the hand of the artist is almost unnoticeable - a feat akin to walking across a snowy field without leaving footprints. Both (Leroy) Allen and (Dean) Mitchell can do just that."’

“Fire in Her Eyes” by Jennessa Burks (American) - Acrylic on canvas / 2020 - Worcester Center for Crafts (Worcester, Massachusetts) #WomenInArt #JennessaBurks #Burks #WorcesterCenterforCrafts #BlackArt #BlackArtist #SocialJusticeArt #art #artText #Blueskyart #WomensArt #WomanArtist #WomenArtists
American artist Jennessa Burks has described this painting as rooted in conversations with her daughter and questions that grew more complex as they talked about equity and the ways people are treated. In that context, the “fire” is not anger for its own sake, but a dawning moral clarity showing the heat of awareness, the ache of empathy, and the refusal to accept unfairness as normal. The close-up portrait shows a young woman in profile, her face turned toward a warm, ember-like glow at the right edge of the canvas. She has a medium-brown skin tone. Her head is framed by a dark hood that blends into the shadowed background. Light catches the bridge of her nose, the curve of her cheek, and the soft fullness of her crimson lips, while her face dissolves into shadow. Her eye is sharp, reflective, and slightly narrowed as it becomes the focal point. Her left hand rises near her chin, fingers loosely bent, as if she’s thinking through something hard to say. The brushwork is visibly layered as smoky grays and blues deepen the darkness, while tans, copper, and gold skim across the skin like heat. The surrounding space feels atmospheric and more like moving flames of air so we take in the scene as an inner moment that is quiet, watchful, and charged. Painted in 2020, this work sits in a year many families remember as heavy with disruption and public reckonings. Here, that weight is carried in a girl’s gaze. She is likely still young and still tender, but already braced against what she’s learning. Burks, a Worcester-based self-taught artist and educator, channels that lived, teaching-and-parenting intimacy into a portrait that feels both protective and honest. The light insists on the girl’s dignity, while the shadows acknowledge what it costs to keep seeing clearly. The result is a generational image of purpose so that hope is made visible as resolve.
