Blues vs Orange Finished Product

This is the last painting in the series. It is my favorite especially with the background. I think that it shows a great progress. I love the vividness of the colors and how they contrast each other. My favorite thing about the whole series is that you don't see my face, yet you can get a sense of me. Mostly my strength and stubbornness is shown through this pose as well as how I see myself as a woman.

Crown of Light

This is a painting I did earlier this year, but forgot to post. I did this on cardboard that had small divots in it like an egg carton. This was a quick simple painting, but I think that the color usage really captures the face. The biggest challenge was trying to figure out the background and whether or not to leave everything out or to detail it. I really like how it came out with just colors. It makes the figure look like it is starting to glow and wearing a crown of light.

This is the finished product of Opposites which I posted earlier. I was really struggling with the background and trying to make it reseed. I think that I finally got it though.

Smith Island

These are some pictures I took at Smith Island. It is a beautiful little island in the Chesapeake Bay that has no cars! Everywhere you look there is a painting. It is peaceful and inspiring.
