Personal Artworks

Miss Audrey Hepburn
Acrylic on canvas
This was actually a spur of the moment painting for one of my greatest friends. She loves Audrey and it was a a gift that she deserved. I believe the photo was taken before a few minor adjustments were made but I was pretty pleased with the final piece. Also, if you are familiar with this famous photograph of Audrey Hepburn, you'll realize it is backwards. I take most of the pictures with the camera on my computer, so most paintings are opposite of what is shown. 




Guitar Test
Watercolor, charcoal, and acrylic
I have been practicing with several different mediums lately. These three pieces were created from one sketch, but completed in three different mediums. I had questioned many people about which one they appreciated most. Although there was no clear winner, I liked these three as one composition. I'm waiting to get them framed as one piece in 3 seperate windows in the same order as in the photo. 


Pappy
Watercolor 
My grandfather adored this house and was heartbroken when he had to leave. 
Although he believed no one liked him, I painted this a couple years ago for him to reminisce. His dream career was architecture so I tried my best to completely represent this house without leaving out any detail. I had my difficulties because watercolor is not the easiest medium, but this piece actually won an honorable mention at the Brockway Art Show.
