new painting

18x24 acrylic painting...is it possible to lacquer a painting to make it all shiny without ruining it?
i'm working on a few more paintings as well...i want to build up a little collection and then open an etsy shop I think.

I need some canvas!

I do have a few things I'd like to paint, but i need canvas!

I am going to post something a little later this week, I promise! :-)
For now though, go check out my talented best friend, she is the sweetest and I love her! Jill. Go! check her out now! :-)

and another..

My friend Caitlin wanted a portrait of her baby Tobias...This is his poker face..

I still want to do a couple things to it, I'm not quite done

week 2

It's actually nice and windy here today so I'm sitting on my porch blogging :).
I did this charcoal today, I find skulls to be pretty complicated/hard to draw. But I like them. Maybe because mine was so messed up and has lots of screws/plates/wires in it now :-P
I really love charcoal. <3

The Charli wandering around the porch while I blog :)

Art

So I decided that I'm going to use this blog as a type of accountability. I'm going to do my best to post at least once a week of something creative, whether it be drawing, painting, charcoal or piano. It would be nice to sell some of my stuff eventually :)
I'll start with this charcoal that I did last week.

Also last week on my days off I mostly just practiced...I recorded myself to kind of give myself a goal of re-memorizing this piece. I did it 3 years ago for a recital at Rollins.. and also I need to get it up to speed...but here it is for you :)

My Apartment

My very own bathroom full of makeup :)



bedroom...obviously..


living area and messy piano




my "office"





It's nothin fancy but I love it!

A New Beginning

I'm starting a new blog because I just couldn't see going back to the old one. It is my old life and I will leave it up, but I won't update it anymore.

I am trying to stop pleasing everyone else, and just try to draw closer to God...I am happy now.

I finally had my surgery after years of pain and I have a new face now...it has caused me to be so much less anxious and stressed.

I finally got up the guts to go through with this divorce, and I moved out of my ex husbands house at the beginning of december (also helped with the stress). I am also taking classes at Rollins again, I plan to be a music major but I still have to audition again in the fall...I am considering a writing minor as well.

It is my first time on my own ever and I am LOVING it. So, as you can see "A new life" is exactly what I'm beginning.
Happy sunday!
