Sunflower Commission

Here is one of my commission paintings. I just recently finished this one.

This painting was actually based on a vase.

The vase had a rough outlining around the leaves and the petals.

What I ended up doing to achieve that look was dip a pencil into the paint and roughly outline the picture. 

It ended up being much harder than it sounds but over all I am rather happy with the result.

Artwork

Hello again! Here are two new paintings I finished today. They are more simple than my previous paintings, but I had a lot of fun painting them.

I based the one above vaguely on a peacock. The colors are similar, but the tail is more flowy. 

With this one I was not sure what to paint. I first painted the background and then did not know what to do on top of it. So I just began painting without putting much thought into it and this is what I got. 

Anyways, enjoy! 

Photo Shop

This is what I did when I got bored in Photography class! haha :) Well, I know they aren't the best. I was wanting them to look like paintings. So I used the smudge tool on Photoshop 6, and when I was done I over exposed it to make it look more vibrant. :) Well anyways, enjoy!

Wedding Ball

Here is something I made today for my upcoming wedding! All it took was a foam ball, paper flowers, and ball point push pins! I am going to tie a ribbon on them and hang them on aisle end chairs! Hope the rest of them turn out as good as this one!

Wedding Shower

Today was my sister's wedding shower! It went really well and the decorations ended up looking great! Here is one of the tables that were decorated! With some of the food for the guests on the table! The food was from Chick-fil-a! yum!!!!

Newest Creation :)

As promised here is the finished charcoal drawing of the previous photo :) I am sorry it is a little later than I originally said, but I was really busy with my sister's wedding shower this weekend. :) I was in a little bit of a rush to get this drawing done, so it is not as perfect as I wish it was. But anyways, enjoy :)

Idea Done!

 Here is the bird garland idea I had! I am actually quite happy with the results of my garland!  My mom made the actual flowers for me. She painted the edges of the flowers with water color pink and got a simple flower garland instruction online. The birds I cut out of scrapbook paper. (I cut out about 30 birds of various sizes) I found the bird shapes on Google and just cut them out. Then I got a hole punch and punched a hole in every other flower and every bird. I used white string to tie the birds to the flowers. (Sorry for my poor quality of pictures) I am not the best photagrapher!) haha!

This is gong to be my next Charcoal Challenge >:D As you may know, I recently got engaged!! So I decided to do a wedding themed still life. My wedding is Christmas themed, so I scattered small ornaments throughout the wedding veil. The rings are my engagement ring and my "soon to be husband"'s wedding ring :) I will be done by next week, so I will post the finished product on May 2 :)... or May 3
