Day 19: A Talent of Mine

On day 17, I showcased a drawing of mine and stated that I would be showing more of my work for all of you. It has been a talent of mine for quite some time to draw, paint, and do anything arts and crafty! I love working with all media types: from acrylic, oil, pencil, ink, paper, and oil pastel. I love art and my passion truly lies with painting! I have to be honest though, I haven't painted for quite some time, it's been at least 3 years. My excuse - college and homework got in the way of my life. Anywho, here are some pictures of my favorite pieces that I've done.

A Piece of Art

For today, I am to share a piece of artwork - a painting, sculpture, collage, etc. I thought I would share one of my pieces of artwork for you. In two days, I will be posting more on a few of my talents, in which I will showcase more artwork that I've done. As most of you know, I love to draw, paint, and do anything that involves arts and crafts. I love to create! The artwork below is a close up of a piece of holly that I drew in my high school art class in 2006/2007. It is done with oil pastel and sprayed with a finisher for shine and to protect the surface from damage. I wish I could tell you what I named the piece, but I don't have a name. Today, I will call it Christmas Holly.
