Amelia Griffin "Hoco Banner"
2025, Acrylic
This project was assigned to advanced studio kids, and is open to other students interested. It is a way to fundraise for the art club and art supplies. My banner bid for $150, from my dad. He really wanted to support my art journey, and some neighbors pitched in as well.
Amelia Griffin "China Tile"
2025, Canvas & Acrylic, 9x9
A monochromatic tile. In my many years of art, I have never created something monochromatic. It was my first. And I loved the process. Using different shades of the same color was therapeutic in a way. I also wanted to paint something that expresses my love for ceramic work. So I settled on a tile. To make it my own, I added detailed work using a dark blue, inspired by blue porcelain bowls. If I had to pick something to rework on this painting, I would make sure that the "edges" or that border on the edge was even on all sides. I free-handed it, so next time I would use a ruler.

2025, Canvas & Acrylic
This painting, wow. It's really something I am proud of. There are so many elements to this painting, and I love every detail in it. The abstract vibe, along with the realism of the still life. It truly brought my imagination to life.
I began this painting with a black background, positive that it was going to be the final look. Painting the flowers and the gauntlet was easy. I looked at some references and went with my flow. The only fuss was over how the roses looked, which got revamped once. The fruits were one of my favorite parts to paint. I enjoyed the shadows and highlights. But the painting felt too dark.
I added some color to the "shelf" that the gauntlet rests on. But it wasn't enough. My last-minute decision was to add a slate-colored background and to blend it into the shadows. I like the contrast of the shadow and the wall. People would be upset about me painting the background last, but I truly feel it fits the painting. I added some swirls, here and there, and some orange for warmth. I wouldn't change a thing about this painting. It really became a mash of my creativity and an idea I had. I can't wait to showcase it.
