Behind Those Walls

Annie Lee McLaurin. Behind Those Walls. Fine and Compressed Charcoal on Canvas. July 2014.
While creating this Self-Portrait, I pushed myself. Since I usually work small and detailed, I chose to work large with charcoal as well as focusing on perspective to help "draw" the viewer in.

Taking a Bite Out of Spoleto

Annie Lee McLaurin. Taking a Bite Out of Spoleto. Acrylic Paint on Canvas. 12inX15in. July 2014.
While studying abroad in the small town of Spoleto, I was given the task to "Recreate my Experience". During long hour drives through Italy, we passed dozens of sunflower fields that made me smile each time we drove by.
