For Christmas, Lee and John bought me an art set, and ever since then, I have been hooked on painting. Every free chance I get (that I am not spending studying..) I whip out my brushes and get to work. It's so much fun and I feel like I caught on pretty quickly. I've posted a few pictures on facebook, but for those that don't have a facebook (mom, dad...etc) I'll put a few pictures up on here for you to see :)

This one was my very first painting ever!! It's on computer paper and...shut up, I know it sucks, but I wanted to practice using the oil before wasting a canvas.

My first painting on canvas!! This one is going to John, my brother-in-law. Thanks for pitchin in for the art set buddy! 20x16. This painting took about 6 hours to complete.

The painting was done for my good friend Ari. 20x16

This painting is going to Linda, my mother-in-law. 20x16. Did this painting in 2 settings, took about 3 hours total.

This one doesn't have a home yet. So in the meantime it will hang on my wall, ha. 16x20. This painting took two settings (had to wait for the first layer of paint to dry). About 3 hours total.

This painting is my first selling!! I was planning on keeping it for our walls, but Arianna loved it so much she made me an offer! Another 20x16. I did this painting in one sitting, took about 3 hours.

This painting was done for Dr. Barrett (one of the doctors I work with). He is going to hang it up on the wall at the hospital!! This one is 18x24. Getting bigger as I go. This painting took about 3 days to complete. About 8 total hours.

And this one is hanging in our living room. It is 3 - 12x24 so it's pretty big. It took me about 6 days to complete. Probably around 10 hours total.
That's about it for now! I have a list of about 5 people to do paintings for in the future! I never would have imagined that people would want to hang my work on their walls! It's so exciting! Once I finish my last college class (in 7 days!!) I'll have some free time to start working on more!
