The Travelers

My first attempt at painting figures. It's based on a photo I took of my sister and her husband on the metro in Barcelona.

awaken the spirit

Here is the poster and the painting for GU Choir's Awaken the Spirit Concert. It went up around campus today, so go look for it!

I love this painting. (This is a better photo than the one taken with my phone) I might try to sell it at the event, so we'll see how that goes.

Enjoy.

Recently I moved into my own apartment, and I am in love. I inherited pretty much all of my furniture (including this blue vase) from very good friends of mine who have all just graduated and flown away from Spokane. Having flowers in this vase became a symbol of my independence and adulthood, as well as a reminder that people love me (well, at least they like me enough to give me their stuff for free). Ultimately, they tell me every morning that I am lovable. I hope to continue this series until I move in May (and who knows, maybe I'll keep painting a vase of flowers till I keel over).

Tummy Monster: THE RETURN

The Epic: Tummy Monster #2

Oil on Canvas

The return of the epic tummy battle! Although I'm not quite satisfied with the flow of this painting, I really enjoy how this one melts down the canvas (hooray for over using turpentine!) Needless to say my obsession with this image has not subsided and there will be more Tummy Monsters to come...depending on if I ever quite get time to pursue my own work. But, this is the beauty of going home and having no responsibilities for 3 weeks- I have time to paint weird creepy things I can't quite get away with working on at school... boo stupid Jesuit fear of nudity.

Once upon a time...

Snow White & Drizella Tremain : they would do anything for love.

8x8 Canvas and Gouache

Once upon a time, there lived a stunning woman named Acacia who was besties with two of the silliest princesses in all of the magical kingdom. And every day Acacia yearned for a painting of her two friends. Until one day, she asked her beautiful and oh so talented friend Maura to paint them for her. Maura gladly accepted, especially seeing as Acacia's birthday was just around the corner. First, Maura consulted her squirrel friends as how to best tie these princesses together. Then, she toiled with pencils and gouache for days. After a little singing and some hard work, Maura had created a masterpiece and surprised Acacia with the gift on her birthday! And ever since that day, Acacia has treasured the paintings of her best friends, as she knows they are an enchanted token of Maura's love and friendship. The end.

June Bloom : painting no 2

So, I haven't named this painting yet. But whatever! Naming things is for another day. Here's the whole step by step process, this one took me the month of June.
