I Want Adventure in the Great, Wide Somewhere

I want it more than I can tell.

I wanted to paint something really special for my friend's eighteenth birthday. After mulling over a few possiblities involving travel, I suddenly remembered her graduation photos. This one happened to be perfect, because I don't feel terribly confident painting faces yet. Also, source photo credit goes to Jason Bailey at Pixlphoto.com

Two Drawings!

I really haven't been ignoring art, just never got around to uploading stuff. So, here are two of my latest pieces.

The girl here looks a bit too old to be riding one of those stick horses, but children are hard. I have yet to make them look young enough. Also, by the time I got to the horse, I was rather tired of the picture.

Lately, I've been in the mood for drawing lines from songs. This drawing I based on "Thrive" by Switchfoot. It portrays the line, "I wanna thrive, not just survive."
