I've been busy with a lot of wedding planning - coming up fast for May 21st, but in there I have managed to get a few paintings out.

Image
This was stuck in my head for a while. All my paintings are for sale, and so is this one (I'm running out of space). if anyone has any information on how I could sell online that would be great!

Image
This one isn't from 2011. This is more from 2006. This was the first chalk and charcoal I ever did. I was busy skipping school, and barely attending art class when I did this. Someone offered to buy it, and though I never took them up on it - this piece still stands as an inspiration to me, that I can do something with my art. Whenever I feel like I'm not good enough I look at this.

Image
Inspired from my commute home 2 weeks ago. The clouds were so gorgeous. I couldn't help but paint them! Also I got an amazing deal on canvas at a local discount store. I found large canvas for ridiculously cheap - so I felt I could play around with it, without it being commisioned. This one is 70 by 90 cm.

Image
I call this my Spanish Dancer. Largest painting I have ever done at 80 by 100 cm. This sits in my living room. I am quite proud of it despite how basic it is.

Image
Another one inspired by my commute home. Yes I know there is a spelling error - it is now fixed. This is why painting should not be done at midnight. Sitting in my living room as well and for sale.

Image
Commissioned piece that caused a lot of stress doing it! Animals are hard!!

Image
My fiance's favorite piece, he was quite upset when I sold it. 4 small canvases. each season. He specifically liked how the spring guy looked like a gorilla. me too :P

Image
My cousin and niece receiving their Christmas paintings. The colors turned out better in this then the previous post they were shown in.

Image
Not the best picture. This was a commision for a friend for her boyfriend on their anniversary. (same person who commisioned the tiger). They both love them! This cause me a lot of stress too. trying to get wings in the water to not be so stand out but also not too soft. ugh!

Let me know what you think, and again, any ideas on how I could get word out better online about my art would be great.

I believe you can post a picture of each work on www.lulu.com there you can sell novels etc at your own price. You create a page and upload pictures of your novel/painting/etc. and then post for sale, it's simple. Check it out maybe what you're looking for. Another website I've came across is createspace.com Not sure about paintings on there but worth a look to see.

Your paintings are beautiful, especially the 4 seasons. Great artwork.

Wow. I'm not sure where you could post them to sell them, but I LOVE them and would probably try to buy one if I wasn't a teenager living in an isolated little country. The sixth and seventh are definitely my favourite and I love all the quotes on them.

Not until we are lost do we begin to understand ourselves


So true =)

Keep up your awesome work!

To Summerlove: it is practiced. I started with tracing to learn how to draw figures, etc. take pieces you like and try to duplicate their style (for teaching purposes of course only). it just takes lots of practice. I work in acrylics, when wet they are very VERY forgiving.

and thank you!

I am hoping that eventually i can somehow make a living out of this. being a legal secretary doesnt bode well from working at home, and as many of my friends are starting to pop out little ones and work from home i am seeing hte wisdom in their career choices (mostly aestheticians or hair dressers)
