Bangs

Here is a pencil drawing. I love her expression.

Black Orb

I love this painting! Sometimes, you sit and paint, and what comes out truly surprises you. This is part of a series, something I started with years ago and have renewed my interest in. They always look so beautiful.

Oil Painting

This is one of my favorite painting that I've done. I found that the paintings that flow easily out of me, like this one, seem to be the ones that people really respond to. This painting took barely any time, and when I painted it, it was the fastest painting I'd ever done. Everyone who saw it loved it, and it wasn't even dry by the time someone had asked if they could buy it. It was my first painting I had ever sold to a non-family member, and I still love it.

Love Charcoal!

I love charcoal! The blacks are so rich and it apples so smoothly, at least the compressed charcoal does. Vine charcoal is great for blocking out a painting, but not for a finished drawing. When compressed charcoal was introduced to me, it was love at first swipe. I was quickly covered in black dust up to the elbow but it was worth it, because I created things like this. Beautiful.

Self Portrait

Alright, whenever someone sees me drawing, for some reason they always ask, "Is that you?" 90 percent of the time the answer is no. I was drawing this picture and my dad walked by saying, "Is that you?" Yes! It's actually supposed to be me this time! Ta-dah!
