Choices
Inspired by a random run-in with the ex-boyfriend's dad, this piece is the result of tireless rumination in making a major decision that will play an integral role in shaping the rest of my life.
It represents my fear, while boldly expressing my wild hopes.
Mon Avis
My first attempt at linear painting.
Wasn't too successful (I have no idea which brush to use for that yet), so I just painted over my crappy lines and filled it in to make a bolder statement.
(it's supposed to be the Eiffel Tower)
Chantico
A meditation in brown and caramel,
this image had been haunting my mind for so long that it inspired me to go buy a paint set so I can get it out of me.
It didn't turn out the way I wanted it to, but I can live with the results.
Fun fact: none of these paintings turned out the way I pictured them in my mind (nothing ever really does, I guess), but the results are serendipitous.
Still, it sucks being a perfectionist.
