Screen Time
Oil on canvas, 24 x 24”

It feels like I’ve been working on this forever. So many things have changed in four months. Things change so quickly as of late.

This photo is of a square oil painting with a flat black painted frame around it. Within the frame a young child with hair just past shoulder length leans against an arm of a blue couch facing away from the viewer. In a white t-shirt, sea foam shorts, and white socks, they face an older box television towards the top right. There are white curtains and a lamp at the top left in front of wood panel walls. The carpet is a similar color to the wood panels and a dark blue patterned rug lays at the bottom right corner. Pale seafoam, sky blue, golden orange, dark blue, and dark brown flat square static shapes are randomly placed all over the canvas but not covering the figure.

Only a few days remain to see Pause Point at the Wright Museum of Art in Beloit, Wisconsin. If you haven’t yet found a moment to pause, it is not too late. ⏸️

#pause #pausepoint #artexhibition #artshow #oilpainting #femaleartist #portrait
A flat screen monitor is mounted on an orangey wall and casts a strong shadow on it. The screen is mostly white with a promo for the show Pause Point on the left with the name in large white letters. A description of the show and the dates it runs are included to the right of the promo image. The image faces an open doorway into the art show Pause Point. Sculptures and brick line both walls on either side of the doorway and an arch is positioned over it. The floor in the foreground has rectangular brick or tile. Three wide horizontal paintings of a girl in three different locations and poses are hung horizontally across a white wall. A bench sits on concrete in the foreground.

Progress Update: More paint down and more tape off 🐌

#wip #oiloncanvas #art #freshpaint
A square canvas is shown with masking trap around the edges. On the canvas a young girl is depicted laying on the arm of a blue couch and facing away from the viewer. The couch covers the bottom left corner of the canvas. The girl is facing an old box TV with a light blue screen. The TV is on a wooden console that contains a VCR. The TV is in the top right corner of the composition, with a media cabinet to its left and a table lamp further left. A large floor rug and papers lay on the floor at the bottom right of the canvas. There are sections of canvas that are still blank and have not been covered yet, along with rectangular areas that are blank or have blue painter’s tape on them.

The blue couch returns for a third time. 💙

#wip #art #freshpaint #blue
This is an image of an oil painting in its early stages on a square white gessoed canvas with masking tape around the edges. A young girl with brown/blond hair just longer than her shoulders leans against a dark blue couch facing away from the viewer. She is wearing a white shirt, seafoam colored shorts, and white socks. She is in the bottom center of the composition and the blue couch is across the bottom left corner of the canvas. A pencil underdrawing is lightly visible across the rest of the canvas and blue painters tape is placed on squares throughout. Some squares have been left unpainted in the couch as well.

I am excited to announce that my show Pause Point will be coming to the Wright Museum of Art this summer at Beloit College in Beloit, Wisconsin. 💙
It will be running in conjunction with the Annual Beloit & Vicinity exhibition so there will be lots to check out! 👀
This image is of a poster for the show Pause Point of Angie Huffman’s work at the Wright Museum of Art at Beloit College. The words “Pause Point” are in the lower foreground in large white letters with the name Angie Huffman in a brown dot to the right of the t. Behind these words is a crop of an oil painting of a young girl with wet hair having her hair combed by someone who is in front of her with their back to the viewer and not completely visible in the image. Some squares in pinks and browns are randomly dispersed throughout the painting also.

Vet vibes.
A brown plastic standing sign with printed wood grain has white letters that say “I don’t care who dies in the movie as long as the dog lives” with a white bone underneath. The sign sits on a fake wood grain surface in front of a white wall on the left and more fake wood grain on the right.

Shoutout to the UPS store employee that tried to explain to some customers that clearly had never thought about it reuse before that their Amazon return could be sent back in its original bag instead of in even more waste plastic.

In these times of chaos it feels fitting for a painting with chaos to start from it also. Kinda like “ashes to ashes and dust to dust” maybe?

Dice rolling vs. photorealism part four has begun~

#wip #art #freshpaint
A white gessoed canvas sits on an easel. Masking tape frames a square of the canvas which has many pieces of painters tape inside. The only painted part of the canvas is a young girl that appears to be oddly seated on something that is facing away from the viewer.

An oil painting of a young girl with a retro curled bob hair style and blue dress with pink polka dots and pink pockets. She is seated on the floor and is reading a greeting card with another figure that is not included in the composition. There are vertical stripes behind her with a wood table above, wood molding below, and grey carpet on the floor. Blue, cream, and dark brown right-angled shapes are scattered throughout the composition. Some protrude from the canvas and are covered in clear plastic or bubble wrap.

This piece was actually completed a few days ago but it isn’t quite ready to be photographed. Here is the last #wip shot in the meantime though.

No jokes here, sorry. Happy April Fools Day anyway though. ✌️

There is vertical striping behind her with with paneling at the bottom, a wood table behind her head, and grey carpet on the floor.
