green sandals

I like this painting a lot. It is funny because it makes me realize that I have many pairs of green shoes, but I don't actually wear green that much. strange. I like the cropping in this image.

illustrators rule!

School is out and I am finally going to have time to update my blog!!!!!! Last month was such a crazy month! I managed to get about 5 painting a day's done :o( very sad. Things have finally calmed down and now I can get back on track! With my awesome new scanner (thanks to mom & dad!) I should be updating this a lot more! Before getting right to the art, here is a picture from the night of graduation. I love it so much! All of these people (plus a few others that didn't make it into the photo) have been a big part of my life for the last four years. Critique after critique we've all helped one another out and I will never forget any of them! Thank you so much for everything! Hooray for Montserrat Class of 2007!!!!!!

Mojito Season!!!!

This is a fun painting I did while I was home in CT. Yummy limes that eventually found their home in a refreshing mojito!!!! I am finding that I really do love to paint food for some reason!

garlic

I did this painting the night of my last day of school. This shows how much of a nerd I can be. It was a weird day for me I wasn't that excited that school was over and all I wanted to do was paint. This was the result. I like it, but I like my first garlic painting better. That one can be seen on my website which should be done within this week!

grapes

I love this painting!!!!! I wasn't sure what would happen if I tried to paint grapes since I normally pay attention to all of the details and doing that with a bunch of grapes could be fatal. Knowing that, I attacked this painting in a different way and I love the result. My favorite thing about it is the way I captured many different colors in the purple of the grapes. Unfortunately I see that my elipse is weird, I can't figure out why I have had so much trouble with those this year. Freshman year I was a pro at them, I don't know what happened!
