I Should Probably Do This Whole Publicity Thing, Huh?

God, it is hard enough to actually sit down and write a blog when there are so many other things that I could be doing but I also need to get it out there in the world and make people read it? That is just too much. Maybe if I just apply to enough jobs and they do an internet search on me and this blog pops up they will be engrossed and keep returning to read my wonderful stories and meaningless rambles.

So today I have been trying to update as much of my stuff for optimal searchability. Yesterday was much funner because I got a lot of art done. I wanted to share because I really like one of the paintings I started yesterday. I'm a really fast painter so this was only like six hours of painting.

I didn't like the way this was coming along until I added the hair. Hair makes such a difference. And a background. this looked terrible without a background so I threw one down real quick and it came out like this. I really like it a lot now. I have to finish the arms and the shirt, give it a tiny bit more contrast and this is done!

This is really the painting that made me go, "Yep, this is what my next series is going to look like. Really detailed portraits of girls/women."

I was getting the feeling from this other painting I am working on. (I have to work on multiple paintings at a time because watercolor takes so long to dry so while the back ground on this one was sopping wet, I picked up this other one I had been working on.) I really liked what I was doing with this other one and I do feel like they go together (which is really important if I'm going to be making a series from these girls.)

I posted this one yesterday but she was as done as she is here and I got a better picture any way.

I think this is going to turn out really well.
