10/100: Spencer

This is one of my dear friends Spencer, who I met freshman year when we became "parents" of our FHE group. I painted this acrylic piece from a mission picture of his. He was seriously one of my most loyal friends at that time of my life, even while on his mission, and after his while I was on mine. I owe much of my sanity and strength I received  at that time to him for sure! Love ya Spenc!

9/100: Nicole

Guess the medium on this one----butter! I thought it would be fun to do a butter portrait and a girl in my ward was more than willing to be the subject. She is my 1st counselor in the RS presidency and she is AWESOME. I used an x-acto blade, and had to keep putting the butter in the freezer because it kept melting...but it was a fun and unique medium to work with. I'm thinking I'll do some more food portraits in the future! :D

8/100: Lindsay

This is one of my most awesome friends Lindsay, that I met freshman year. I wanted to loosen up with my painting, and I am finally exploring oils. I had a lot of fun with this one. I wanted to really capture the essence of her awesome crazy hair. I really messed up on the exactness of her eyes...but they are close-ish....emphasis on the ish... Love you Lindsay!!!

7/100: Blasida, Hna Remache, & Hna Young

This is a tribute to my mission. Blasida was a less active that we taught. I ended up in a trio the last week of my mission, and I knew I had to seize the opportunity for a photo op to make an art piece. I used watercolor pencils, another medium I do not work much in, but am growing to love. I worked hard to make a balanced composition, which was a little challenging, as I changed some things from the photo. Overall, I'm pretty happy with how this one turned out.
