Ming Museum, China


This is probably my best so far. I went to China and took a photograph of this Ming building. For my friend's birthday, I decided to paint him the picture I had taken. I could've spent more time working on the details, but I was running out of time. Oil + acrylic (green paint is acrylic).

Goose


I painted this real quickly for my friend's birthday, which happened to be the next day. She has a grey bunny named Goose. Oil and acrylic, drawn from photo

for Chris, 2nd painting


free hand, oil + acrylic. just trees. I was too scared to do anything else.

Toby



I drew my cat, and used oils to paint him. He's supposed to be high on catnip but it seems more like a stained glass window behind him. Oh well.

Gnomie!

This is my third painting - my first to draw on with pencil prior to painting. Overall, I'm happy with it. Still, it lacks something, like a bird or a bee.

Bear and Doggie, by ep




This was my first painting I did after I bought oil paints a few months back. It was totally free-hand, and I am definitely aware of the excess dead space in the sky. Practice makes perfect, right?


I was inspired by Susie G., who did the design on my purse.
