The people I know...

This is the amazing Marnie Strasser. She was my roommate last semester and will be again this fall. Marnie it a great example to others and really does spread light where ever she goes. This painting was part of a 3 piece series and still needs some work but I think it has great potential. Painted in oil lift out technique.
This is my other amazing roommate Emily White! Emily has a way of lighting up the room and I picked her to paint specifically for this assignment because the color scheme I wanted to use fits her personality perfectly. Acrylic on wood.
This is an all time favorite of mine. My best friend Stephanie Turpin...with a creepy twist. The creepy part was kinda an accident but in art sometimes accidents are good things! This is not how I would normally depict her but its still a cool painting. Painted in Gouche and ink.

Crappy Photograph... but this is my best friend and old roommate, Andrea Gonzalez Barker. Andrea is one that really doesn't know how beautiful she is but really she is...:) She just got married and I miss her a lot! Painted in acrylic with oil over top.

Don't be shy now feel free to comment on my art and follow my blog. Sorry I kinda suck at blogging I just finished my 4th semester at BYU-Idaho and well... its been crazzzzzy! I am home for 7 weeks relaxing for awhile and going to work in grain harvest. Then its back to school:) Don't worry there is more to come...
