i {heart} painting

so... once upon a time my awesome cousin ryan commissioned me to do a couple paintings for him. one with red poppies and the other a rain motif. he recently moved into a new house and has some huge walls to fill up. so this is what i did...

a fantastic 30x40 [acrylic] poppy painting with a twist...

and an enormous and marvelous 48x60 [acrylic] painting of rain...

i'm not going to lie.... i have a crush on these paintings.

fish die...

fish die belly up & float towards the surface. is that their way of falling? just wondering....

anyway. i did a commissioned painting for my cousin... he really liked my other fish painting, so i figured i would use that as inspiration for the new one. he wanted a big painting to put above his king size bed. so this one is is 2 - 18x24's & 1 - 18x12. kinda huge... kinda simple, but absolutely fantastic. i'm pretty much in love with it.

artsy shtuff...

alrighty.... so once upon a time i had a birthday. and for said birthday zac gave me a cd of pictures... fantastic pictures of mums.... i had told him about this picture i had seen at kohl's months ago and i guess he remembered... and this is the end result...

fantastic right? right.

thanks, zac! you're the best! :)

okay. so... kelsey moved back to byu. her giant room was empty. i'm pretty sure my room was shrinking. so i switched. [i did ok it with kels first, just so we're clear. its not like i stole her room or anything. haha...] anyway... i switched out her comforter for mine & this and that, and i decided that a painting was needed above the bed... so a painting is what i did. tada!

so after i switched, the little room looked so very sad and lonely. i put the old comforter back up and cleaned it all up. and i had taken down a lot of my pictures & paintings and so i had a big empty wall... it needed a painting too... so a painting is what i did. tada!

it's our family tree... haha... get it? lol... i love it :)
