Faceless

This is another of those "small paintings" I mentioned, I don't know what I was thinking about when I painted these, but I chose not to give her a face. I think it's better to imagine what it looks like for yourself. Acrylic.
I did a few small paintings one day, this is one of them. The left is male, and the right, female. Acrylic. It makes me think of souls.

Vea

This was my pet lobster, Vea. Very photogenic.

Pecan Flower

This is very old.. Broken pieces of several pecan shells arranged on the counter.

New Altered Book Cover

I've decided to continue with the ways of Brandt and attempt to keep up with an altered book, probably using it like a journal.

I painted the whole cover in a reddish orange and then rubbed some of it away to show the original yellow cover in places. I think it looks cool.

The white pieces are torn page fragments glued to the cover and slightly outlined in places.

This book was about flowers so the floral designs on the front are not my own, but I went over two of the flowers in black acrylic to make them stand out.

I'm not quite finished..

Happy Cyndi


An image transfer of a photo I took of Cyndi, painted in [my own version of] the style of Francoise Nielly. The colors in the background are joyful colors and the only thing I don't really care too much for are the four small flowers. They could have been MUCH better, but all in all I think it turned out very well.

Statue In The Courtyard.


I took a photo of the statue in the senior courtyard, drew two pictures of it, cut them up, and wove them together. A PAIN! I like how it turned out, though. Oil pastel on Bristol Board. I think it turned out pretty well. :)
