Portrait

This is a portrait I made quickly of my friend Alexei as he was reading in the studio. I liked stripe on his shirt and the colors in the studio at night under the artificial lighting. He got up and left, but I kept working on it from memory at his suggestion. That was really helpful because it wouldn't have been complete if I didn't finalize the shapes more.

Winter

I made this painting right when I got back to school. I've made it my goal to make a small painting every day this semester. It's worked well so far (I've made 4 small paintings as of today) and hope to be able to learn a lot by working everyday and seeing what I'm doing.

This painting is of a tree I could see out my window. It's very Ron Donoughe inspired. A friend has already decided she wants to purchase it.
