About Me
My name is Sam Davies and this is my Weebly Art Page. Although I'm not much of an artist yet, I do find the idea to be appealing. In the fall and winter quarters of 2011 I got my first chance in the field of art when I took pottery classes at Peninsula College with Bill Merril. Although I never made anything that was worthy of a gallery, I must admit that my skills improved dramatically. I have posted some examples below. I think my main downfall as an artist is that I am never completely satisfied with my work. I can do something that is 99.9% perfect, but my focus will be on the 0.1% that no one even notices. I've only been sketching for a very very short time, and it turns out I'm much better than I expected to be. I'm not saying I'm amazing, or even good, but I do see a potential that I didn't expect to have. In the past my daughter Brooke. who is nearly 8 years old now, had to give me advice on my drawings. When I'm not at school, I'm generally working. I've been doing construction for years, focusing mainly on stone masonry (which actually is an art in itself, with extreme emphasis on detail. Anyone can put up stone, but for someone to make it look good is quite rare). I've posted a few examples of stonework I've done in the past below, and will try to find better pictures to post shortly.

Pottery Class 2011
My first experience with an art class was in 2011 when I took pottery at Peninsula College with Bill Merril. It was a great experience and I learned quite a bit. Here are some examples of my creations.
