Flower Doodle

At one point a month or two ago, I ran out of canvas. I have to drive at least 35 minutes to get to an art store, so I decided to just doodle until I needed to go to the area where the art store is. So, this is one of the many doodles laying around my room.



It's just a simple little flower.

Soon after I drew this, I found some chalk pastel pencils, and doodle many similar flowers, in different colors. Maybe I'll post them eventually.

Mickey Mouse Painting

I saw a really cute picture of Mickey Mouse, and thought he'd be fun to paint. And he actually was. So fun, in fact, that I think I'm going to paint a picture of Minnie in the near future.

So, tell me what you think! It's one of my personal favorites so far.

Once again, this post is not about a painting. I live in West Virginia, where the majority of jobs are coal-mining jobs. Today, there was a deadly explosion in an underground mine that killed 7 and about 20 are still unaccounted-for. I realize that many people are against mining, but I personally know several people who work there. My dad is a coal miner, though he doesn't work there. So, if you would, please keep these people in your thoughts/prayers and hope that the rescue crews find those 20 unaccounted-for people are found safe and uninjured.

Thank you,

Curly Tree

This is another painting I did for a little girl's bedroom. I think it's really cute, especially with all of her pink stuff. Her room is pink and some other pretty pastel colors, with colorful little bird, owls, squirrels, etc. It's a really cute room. :]




P.S.- I would love to have suggestions for paintings. I like doing requests and such. :]



Thank you,

Painting for My Room

I'm running out of paintings. I've only been painting since December, so it hasn't been that long. So I'm running out. My real problem is that I cannot think of anything to paint. I'm having painter's block. I don't know how to find inspiration, or once I've found something, turn it into a painting. Help?

Anyway, this one was for my bedroom. It matches the designs and color scheme and such. :]

Marshall University

This post isn't about a painting. Yesterday, I decided to transfer to Marshall University in Huntington, WV. In honor of this decision, I thought I'd tell you guys about a couple of Marshall-related things to check out.

A few years ago, 2007 maybe, a movie was made about Marshall called "We Are Marshall." It's about Marshall's new football coach at the time trying to rebuild the team and lift the morale of the school after a plane crash killed about 80 football players, coaches, and fans. Matthew McConaughey and Matthew Fox star as the coaches.

This is the poster for the movie:





There's a new show called "Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution" that premieres this week. British chef Jamie Oliver traveled to Huntington (the fattest city in the nation) and tried to fix the way Huntington eats. I was a little bitter about it at first, because he chose an area near where I live to tackle obesity, but once I saw the "sneak preview," I decided that it's a good thing and I support Jamie 100%. If you live in the U.S., check this out on Friday. If not, check it out online.

Here's a picture of Jamie working as a school cook in Huntington:




So, if you want, give those a look, if not, that's okay. I'm just so excited about going to Marshall that I have to talk about it! lol

The Little Mermaid

One day, I found a picture of the Little Mermaid's Broadway poster. I thought it was cute, so I painted it.



I messed up her fin/tail/thing.
