This is especially for Joe.. given with smiles!

This is for you Joe! This is part of my portfolio! I don't pretend to be a great artist, and you letting me practice my artistic abilities on your children would be great for me! So even though they probably would look nothing like the original, I would love the practice and the advertisement! haha! But also the free-ness of it all is because I do not feel ready to sell my art, if I am going to be rid of it, I would prefer to give it away then sell it, selling it makes it a "thing" But giving it keeps it as it is. :) So if you are interested let me know! And we will talk reference pictures! :)

This first one is of my current painting, and my first portrait in oil painting! which I LOVE doing! Oil paints are my favorite medium to work in! Though she is most definitely not finished yet!

And this one is very much sideways! lol! But it is a close up.

This one is an oil pastel. Not my favorite piece of art, but I thought I'd trow it in there. haha.

This one is an oil painting of my old old dog... haha! I just woke up at three in the morning once, and started painting it! That is why it isn't totally planed out right, like how there is not enough room for his whole head on there! haha!

This is a sketch I am working on, I haven't worked much in graphite (pencil) much in a while, mostly they are quick sketches, mostly left un finished, though I have done, and love to do in depth studies of the face in graphite.

Here are some more graphite sketches... like I said I have mostly used graphite as a quick way to learn of form and light and dark, i haven't really used it l8ly to actually DO something other then practice stuff! But I'm showing you this so you can get a feel for what my art not only looks like but feels like! I also have another post on here called "some bits of my art" or something along those lines, which has some other small things, but also one of my favorite pieces, one of me and my dad kissing when i was like three, it is in oil p astel, and you'll have to look for it in that post, if you scroll down you should be able to see it! :)

Okay so that was alot of sketches, and I have more art, but I'll put that all up later.... For now that is all I'm willing to sit around and wait for them to load! haha!
