Summer Painting

I've spent a lot of quality time in the "Tiny House" studio painting this summer. I work all through the night sometimes before I realize I'm tired, but it's what I love doing. Here's some of my latest.

My attempt at a "Girl With the Pearl Earring" painting

Orchids I did to hang in a local business

A self portrait-ish painting. Something fun and glamorous.

I decided to do a "Story Art" piece to represent aspects of my life. I plan to continue adding subtle details.

A Bluebird I did to pair with the orchids for sale at a business.

2011: Expanding Horizons

So far, year 2011 has been pretty eventful in terms of art. I am gaining speed as I continue to grow in my art. This year has pushed me in so many different directions that have each taught me something new. Four years after starting his class, I continue to take lessons from Dan Thornhill. If you get a chance, you should check him out as well at Dan Thornhill Studio Art.
