Strawberry Kiwi

Title: Strawberry Kiwi
Medium: Acrylic Paint
This project was completed sometime between the years 2002 and 2005. At that time I was a high school student at Puyallup High School. For this project we had to create a picture based on one of our favorite things. Strawberry Kiwi Snapple was and is still my favorite drink. 

why an art blog?

Hi,

                My name is Russell Taylor and for as long as I can remember I have been interested in drawing and doing art. Often people ask to see the artwork that I have done and I wanted a good way to share it with anybody who is interested and that is why I am starting this blog. It will start with artwork that I did in high school and continue through the college art class I took as well as the art I have done since then. I hope that people will enjoy seeing it.
