Under The Sea

Under The Sea

This is an oil painting done as a request. I free handed the figure, did an acrylic base coat of white, and then completed the other colors in oil. I tried to stress the fact that Ariel is "under the sea", making her hair seem to float above her.

Dryad Painting

Dryad Painting

Finished this in December of 2013 as a project for my Drawing I class up at my college. It's an oil painting with a touch of glitter nail polish here and there for that "magical" appearance. I tried to make it very dramatic, as if looking upon the mythical creature, reveals an unforeseen beauty that draws viewers into a trance of the imagination and heart. 

 All Glory To God

  Finished this painting 3/27/13 in honor of Easter Sunday. This oil painting is the largest I have yet completed. I free handed it from start to finish, looking at a picture as a reference, while also giving it my own touch. On it is written Ad Deum Esse Gloria, which in Latin means, "All glory to God." I also have John 3:16 written on it in remembrance of the day Jesus died for us. I hope to dedicate this painting to my church if they accept it. I thank the Lord for his guidance while working on this painting, I've learned a lot of new techniques through this experience. I hope to make my next painting even better!

Midst the Forest

Finished this painting January 21, 2013. 

I used the "Impressionism" style to this painting of a lone wolf in a forest.

This photo is better looked at from a distance to get the right feeling portrayed, but when looking

closer, you can see the layers of paint blended together to present lighting and texture.

Ad Deum esse Gloria!
