Combat Embrace
This is a painting I did in my painting 2 class in sophomore year. I was inspired by watching what else but band of brothers. There was this scene in part 3 or 4, and I really wanted to paint it cause of all the emotion that can be seen. I've gotten mixed comments about this one... Some say it's really gory, others say they can see the emotion that I meant to put in it, others are in between. This piece almost sold at an auction, but it didn't, I'm kinda glad yet disappointed. I kinda like this one.
Richard's rage
I got the idea for this painting from a book I read. A Terry Goodkind book called "Stone of Tears." I guess you won't get the meaning of it unless you read the book, but here's a quick explanation for you. Richard, the guy with the sword, has the power to take down those two towers in the background, if you can see them, with his magic. If he does this, then he takes down a barrier that's between two places, the new and old worlds, and he uses all of his magic and his love for Kahlan, whose eyes are in the sky, to try to bring down the towers. Kinda confusing, but it makes you want to read the book, right? hehe. This is probably my favorite painting from sophomore year.
It's like Tom Sawyer
Another painting from sophomore year. This one reminds me of Tom Sawyer or Huck Finn. Wanted to do something simple, and this is pretty simple, don't you think? hehe. I like it though. But I think people don't understand it, they say it's cute, but what's cute about being alone walking on a railroad track in the middle of nowhere? I don't understand what they see in my painting... oh well.
