an assortment of paintings

welcome to my art blog, which will hopefully become a more exciting place in the next few weeks! i suppose i will start off sharing a few more recent things that i've done for fun lately. i've been enjoying doing mini-paintings, so i will start with some of those:

'dreamtime' january 2011, 2x2" oil on canvas

"kittycat dreamin' "january, 2011, 2x2" acrylic and gold ink on canvas

this was painted as a gift

'moon bearer' january 2011, approx. 10x10'', colored pencil on chipboard

'disintegration' february, 2011 24x32" watercolor
untitled, february 2011, 24x32'' oil on canvas
sorry the photo on this one has some extreme glare issues! it was pretty wet when i photographed it

and last but not least, i also enjoy making faery wings, sorry i don't really have a better picture of them, this is mostly my messy desk (actually my roommate's desk which i took over)

there will be more soon to come, i am sure! spring semester starts back up in a few days, and eventually hopefully i'll get a chance to share some of my older work from the fall and summer that is worth seeing.
