The Woman Who Bled Rainbows




I got to inspiration for this watercolor from a different artist's work. I loved how the colors seem to fade from her, I like to think of the colors as emotions happy pinks, melancholy blues, angry grays, and pleasant greens. It was fun to do, I got to use a lot of my bright watercolor pencils, which was exciting!

Wind in Their Hair





Ok so I'm also little obsessed with drawing people from the back at the moment. Its also fun  drawing them when its windy so I can make their hair flow out in the wind. I like drawing people from the back because it creates almost a sense of mystery to what their looking out at. That part is up to you :)

Portraits



I have a little, maybe big thing for drawing peoples faces. I love it so much! I like how faces can tell you so much about who someone is or what their emotions are. The faces above aren't the greatest but I still decided to post them.  The top is supposed to be Emma Watson with her super cute new haircut but it didn't work out that well. And below her is Ron Weasley. Getting a sense for of my Harry Potter obsession? Yep, I'm just a little obsessed.

The Stein Collection



 A week or two ago my mom and I decided to to take a drive over to San Francisco to see the featured exhibit at the SFMOMA, the Stein Collection. It was well worth the trip. The art and the exhibit in whole was just amazing. The Steins were amazing people and just walking through the collection made you want to transport yourself to Paris in the early nineteen hundreds. It was quite magical. 
The Steins were notorious for investing in upcoming 'modern' artists such as Matisse and Picasso. Did you know that a lot of Picasso's art was done cardboard? It blew me away that cardboard could be so beautiful. Im so glad I got the chance to see the exhibit it was truly astounding!

A very nice day trip to San Francisco   

Hello, I  apologize for my very long rude absence. I have been very preoccupied by many things lately such as lemon cake, my family, and trying to have fun :) Aside from that I'm happy to back and blogging again, and you can imagine how much "stuff" for lack of a better term I have to blog now! Huzzah!

Mr. Octopus



I recently aquired a new little cousin. He is a little boy and his name is John or "Johnny". I am glad to say I am about to go meet him, so I decided to make him this adorable yarn octopus that I found in a family craft magazine. I love these little eight legged friends so much, I am thinking of making myself one!

Little Green Men


The leperchans have come out to play. I am rather fond of them. I found a four leaf clover just the other day.
Anyway, happy early Saint Patricks Day!
