~The Weary Hunter~

I love painting! I finally got this back from my teacher's work shop. He had surgery on his knee so that he might be able to walk again after his accident three or four years ago. He wasn't teaching (obviously) so I couldn't get the painting back. I finished it about 6 months ago.



I think I got the idea from a Texas Parks and Wildlife cover. The thing is, I would find a picture of a sky that I liked, and then I would try to paint that sky. But you really have to make it your own. So there is no other picture like mine in the world. :)

Spring Time Fairy

This is a drawing that I did while... uh...... I was doing Government. Knowing that I couldn't tear out the page in my text book and put it with my other drawings, I took a picture of it and uploaded it to my blog. And also because I think it's really cute. You can't really get a perspective on how small it is until the second picture. At one point I thought I completely ruined it because I swept my hand across it. But I worked on it with a pink eraser and I got most of the smudge taken care of. The first picture is before the incident, and before the wings. As you can see it was entirely too small to put a good looking face on it.






I got the idea of the fairy clothes from a drawing book I was looking at in Micheal's. I absolutely love that store. They have everything I could dream of. (and allot more I might add) Her hat is made up of a Bell flower, and her skirt is made up of flower petals. My inspiration was the springtime. I think sometime I will make a Fall Fairy.

In Him,
