Christian- SOLD

Just a touch of Optimism

This is my last assignment for my classes this semester. I've had a really hard time focusing on painting. Nate got orders yesterday. He is going to be deployed to Afghanistan. He'll be away from us for 15 mo. He leaves really soon too- In about a month and a half. We're going to try and pack everything into storage by the end of this month and then we'll head to Utah. I'm going to move in with my parents.

This painting depicts my mood at the moment perfectly. I had painted a great flower before wilted and hung over like that, but i liked it better down- YOu can see where I wiped it out. I should have treated the background a little differently, but oh well.

You can tell I'm tired when I post something and don't put a title on it. Sometimes thinking of a title is more challenging than thinking of a painting. Any suggestions for any of my untitled work?

Self Portrait

Kind of struggled on this one. Oh well. you win some, you lose some. I think I'll have another shot at a self-portrait this summer for another class.
