Bliss.

The beach.

Exactly where I've wanted to be these past weeks.

Just seems so much easier than the daily grind of school & stress.

Know what I mean?

pastels and charcoal on pastel paper, 9"x9".
About 2 hours.

Hope you like it. :)

shiny building, eh? :D

Actually physically it's probably quite dull. Well designed, but non-reflective. (Sniff.) heh :) Well, this is my latest picture, this one took me about a week, but I probably could have gotten it done sooner. I'm lazy as heck. ;P

Oh and this is the Chapel of St. Ignatius up at Seattle U. I want to live there so badly. D:

Pastel and some charcoal on construction paper.
Hope you like it :)

Brie :)

This is based off of a picture taken a while back, 1990's-ish. It's Brie, my family's cat at the time. Beautiful kitty. :) (ALL my family's cats are adorable, duh!) At first I thought this was going to turn out really bad, based on the half completed version of it, but I surprised myself and now I love it. :)

Greece! :)

My family and I were looking through some old photos on the web, and turns out my mom and dad went to Greece sometime ago. (Before kids. Obviously.) And they took this really pretty picture of these three windmills, too! :) So I was like HEY! I should draw/paint that! And I did, and this is the result. Voila~! :)

I also happened to draw/paint this right after I was looking through a book of World Art, a book that happened to have a lot of Impressionist (Van Gogh, Monet) paintings that I really liked. As you *might* or might not have noticed, I used that technique that they have (had?) and made the painting/drawing with a bunch of tiny little strokes. :) Yep. I like it, it has that kind of airy, light feel to it that Impressionist paintings had.

SO I hope you like it. :) It's one of my favorites that I've done so far.

Yosemiteee. :)

Ah, yes, the week away from civilization that all eighth graders are forced to endure. Yosemite. :) Is a week from civilization a good or bad thing? Tell me. :D heh

SO. For once, I decided that instead of being a borderline semicriminal that I would use a picture that wasn't copyrighted by anyone and that somebody I know took. Heh. :) (As in my mom.) So yeah, that's about it... tell me what you think :)

Salt water tastes bad. :)

It's..... Diamond Head! yepyep.:) That's a beach in Hawaii. (I think it's famous, but I don't know much about beaches.) Sure is pretty. :D

SO I was feeling nice. And my mom happened to grow up in Hawaii, and I *think* she went to Diamond Head a lot, so I made her this picture. :) I think it's really pretty, and I ALSO think that I'm much better at landscapes than I am at that flower down in the previous post. :)

(For those who don't understand thumbnails: click on the small picture to get a bigger, better picture. -u-;)

So once again, I got the picture from Wikipedia. :/ Probably not the best idea.... But don't worry, law! I'm going to start using my OWN pictures soon! Yep! So.... stay around and such. :)

Hmm-mm. :o

Another one of my pastel paintings x] These are so fun! Anyways, I don't know if I like this one as much as I should. It just doesn't seem as realistic as I should, ya know? I dunno. xD I shouldn't criticize my own work, just be happy for the bit of talent I DO have, I guess. meh. :]

Anyways, I've been on Pandora, listening to my channel of Death Cab For Cutie-esque stuff. And mannn, there are some really good artists out there. Joshua Radin, Postal Service,.... and a buncha others that I didn't catch the name of. o_o; Anyways, if you by any slim chance like meaningful soft music checkitout. [/advertising]

:) Anyways, tell me what you think of the flowerr. Leave some comments for once! :D
