More robots!


It's like a robot invasion. I really need to get some better photos of these. The color is not quite right in my cell phone camera.

Robot with 2 balloons


I was thinking robots, and I did one! What do you think?

Next paintings....

I'm thinking robots... or things inspired by lyrics...

Whatever I choose, it's going to be fun.


I need more paint!

Bluebird



Word came through in a letter,
One of us changing our minds.
You won't need to guess who, since I usually do,
Not send letters to me that are mine.

Told you I saw this coming,
That I'd practically packed up my things.
Was glad at the time that I'd said I was fine but,
All honesty knows, I wasn't ready, no.

And so here we go bluebird,
Back to the sky on your own.
Oh let him go bluebird,
Ready to fly,
You and I,
Here we go.
Here we go.

This pair of wings worn and rusted,
Like a carnival ride in the rain.
They can carry me swear to be,

Sturdy and strong but see,
Turning them on still causes me pain.

Leave my love in a letter,
Went to the bes on your side.
Fine gathered my things, I'll make the best of these wings,
And me and my bird take to the sky.

And so here we go bluebird,
Gather your strength and rise up.
Oh let him go bluebird.
Oh let him go bluebird.
Oh let him go bluebird.
Ready to fly,
You and I,
Here we go.
Here we go...

Tulips



So I wanted to paint some flowers, but I'm not a very skilled painter. I mean, this is really the first time in my life I've painted stuff... aside from when I was little and I used to paint with watercolors and throw salt on them so it would make little star-like shapes in the paint. Anyway, so I decided tulips would be the best choice because they are the easiest to paint. I like it.

Birds

I love birds. And it's cool that my friends do too, because I painted these for them.


This one is for Kat.










This one is for Steve, also known as Bill Cardinal.

Day of the Dead


It's Day of the Dead, so I wanted to paint something inspired by that.


My sister liked them so much she bought them from me. HA!

Umbrellas

For some reason I'm kind of obsessed with big umbrellas. The inspiration for these paintings was my friend Emily. She had these green boots that she loved. There's also this amazing photo that Kelsey took too of her when they were in Europe where she's holding an umbrella. I thought it'd be fun to paint something that reminded me of her. So, here are the umbrellas.


Veronika's Umbrella








This one is mine.









Thea's Umbrella








I painted this one for Thea. She asked about my first one, so I painted another one for her to take.



Betty's Umbrella








This one has no home yet.

Painting


I have been painting a lot lately. It's been very cathartic for me. I will post photos of what I have so far.



A painting I did for Jackie and Dale's new apartment.








This one is in my sister and Brandon's apartment. It's called "Strong Enough."
