Figure Drawing

2010-02-19T09:11:00.000-05:00

It's been awhile since I attended a figure drawing session, but I've finally found one that I can start going to regularly on Purdue's campus. This is a first attempt at something I used to do nearly every day in school, and although it's not amazing for a twenty minute pose, it felt good and I am excited to continue to do this as often as possible.

Puff Daddy Adder

2010-01-19T11:12:00.002-05:00

And this is Puff Daddy Adder. Enough said.

Connie Constrictor

2010-01-19T11:07:00.003-05:00

It was Phil's birthday on the 16th and I decided to paint him two more paintings for his Jeremy Sassyserpent book. This is Connie Constrictor, who wears very constricting clothing.

Cocoa Girl

2009-12-10T16:00:00.003-05:00

There is a cute little coffee shop here in West Lafayette that I loved the first time I stepped into it. This is a painting I did of that coffee shop and a sweet girl I met here.

Blue Chair Final again

2009-11-05T12:31:00.002-05:00

It is only my stupid perfectionist self that pushes me to post yet another photo of this painting, but the last one was a little blurry. I'm still learning to use my camera.

Final Blue Chair Painting

2009-11-04T14:38:00.003-05:00

Here's the finished painting.

Shakira

2009-10-15T10:33:00.002-04:00

I hardly ever do this, but this is a painting that I started about two years ago and never finished. Phil kept telling me I needed to finish it, so I finally did. It turned out to be the perfect trade for a bunch of haircuts and now hangs in B Space Salon in Salt Lake.

Chase

2009-10-15T10:30:00.002-04:00

This is a painting I worked on a few months ago. I don't paint children very often, so it was a little challenging, but I think it came together well.

Blue Chair #3

Blue Chair #2

2009-10-06T17:02:00.002-04:00

Blue Chair Natalie

2009-10-04T21:44:00.003-04:00

This is the painting I'm currently working on. I thought I'd post the progression of the piece.

Lafayette Gallery Walk

2009-10-04T21:38:00.003-04:00

So we just moved to Lafayette, IN and I'm trying to get involved with the art community here. I put a piece in the gallery walk in downtown Lafayette, and Phil was able to take some pictures of it hanging up. A cute little girl saw what he was up to, and voluntarily added herself to the photo.

Shoulda' Been a Cowboy

2009-06-12T12:21:00.002-04:00

This painting was fun. I don't usually paint western scenes, but my Uncle Alan wanted a cowboy portrait of himself. He titled it "Shoulda' Been a Cowboy." It has taken me a few months to post it, but better late than never I guess.

Pregnant Rosie

2009-02-14T15:03:00.002-05:00

Rosie is an amazing model. Even when she is 9 months pregnant, she looks beautiful. I finished this painting the day she gave birth to her beautiful baby Hazel.

Mama Mamba

2009-01-27T16:25:00.002-05:00

This is a small painting I did for my husband Phil. It goes along with a story that he wrote about a snake family. Hopefully we can make it into a childrens book sometime. This is the mother snake named Mama Mamba Sassyserpent.

Spike

2009-01-27T16:16:00.003-05:00

I drew this picture for my older sister. It is her darling baby whom we call Spike.

My Apartment

2009-01-20T17:10:00.002-05:00

When Phil and I moved back to Provo, we moved into a funny little apartment which had its fridge located in the family room, so this is a painting of the lovely fridge. I really enjoyed doing it.

More Mozart!

2008-12-11T14:47:00.002-05:00

Here are two more Mozart illustrations that I did for the Core Knowledge Foundation. I'm learning to love working with watercolors and I hope to do some more illustration work in that medium.

Mozart

2008-09-13T11:18:00.002-04:00

Here are five images from a project about Mozart I did over the summer.

Iroquois Runner

2008-09-11T14:50:00.002-04:00

Its taken me all summer to post my illustration work, but here it is. This is another project that I did a couple of months ago for Core Knowledge Foundation. These are four of a series about an Iroquois runner. It was different working in watercolor, but I think now that I've practiced it a little more, I have come to like it again.

Mayflower

2008-09-11T14:17:00.002-04:00

Here are some paintings from a project I did for the Core Knowledge Foundation this summer. The project was about the Pilgrims coming across on the Mayflower.

Its because I miss painting portraits.

2008-08-21T14:28:00.002-04:00

This blog is for Nuh Nuh, my little sister, who says that I never post blogs. I've been working on illustration projects all summer, and as much as I love painting tiny images in unfamiliar mediums, I miss my portraits, which is why I am very excited to move back to Utah next week, where I will be portraiting once again. Hooray! Really though, illustration work is very fun and something I never thought I would do. Perhaps I may even post some of my summer labors later on when I am feeling more ambitious. Anyway, love to Nuh Nuh.

Rachel

2008-07-21T16:45:00.003-04:00

This painting of my friend, Rachel was part of my final BFA portrait show at BYU. I really appreciate the many many times my friends were also my models in college. Lucky for me, I have gorgeous friends.

Libby

2008-07-21T16:14:00.002-04:00

I finished this painting a few months ago. My goal is to start painting in a more narrative style like this one.

Communication Arts!

2008-07-13T19:10:00.003-04:00

I recently was accepted into the July 2008 Comm Arts Illustration Annual! Check out my full page spread on page 95, directly across from the legless horse.
