surf's up

Here I am in a strange hotel room in Cincinnati. I'm here with my college soccer team for the weekend, kicking ass and eating enough for, well, a ravenous soccer team. I've been busy busy busy with school, but have been making little things here and there.
This is a painting I did for a good friend of mine's son. She was decorating his room with a surf theme.

Recent Paintings

I've been getting requests from family and friends to post what I've been painting lately, so here's a little taste.

This was a box I painted for someone very close to me, the top has quotes on it, but I particularly liked the side's design.

This was my first oil painting. I remember doing it at 2 a.m on a night when I couldn't sleep. It took me roughly 3 hours.

I love the backround color mixture on this one...Welcome to dreamland.

This is actually a hard book cover that I reused after using the book for my book art collection, which I will be posting about soon. This is one of four that will be going in a good friend of mine's bathroom. The next picture will show another cover in the set, and the following photo is the set all together.

These have all been done within the last two weeks (except the first), so they are all fairly new. I'm hoping my next post will be about the book art that has completely consumed my room, it's very easy to do and looks really great so I'm excited to share that.
