My Last Painting of High School

Okay!  So I know what you're probably thinking... high school??  Wasn't that a while ago?!
Well, yes.. and as you guys can probably tell, I suck at this whole blogging thing..
I am going to try to keep posting though (even if months pass in between each post.)
Hopefully one day I'll just become inspired to uphold a blog, but until then, sparse posting now and then will have to do!
So!  Without further adieu, here is the last painting that I had complete for my AP Studio class.
I haven't touched oil paints since.. as much as it pains me to admit.  I really miss the medium and hope that some day I'll have time for them. 
This last piece really shows how much progress I made throughout my senior year.. I never like my work, so of course I have nothing really to say about it.. but here it is.


Sadly, I don't have the painting in front of me at the moment, but I think the canvas is 20" x 24".

Senior Concentration: 12/12 - THE LAST PIECE!

THE LAST PIECE IN MY CONCENTRATION
LIKE WHAT IS THIS

The time spent creating this body of work went by way too quickly!
Look for a future post about the concentration as a whole!
I really want to reflect on how this process changed me as an artist, but I'm seriously pressed for time right now!

I think that this is a little bigger than 16"x20"?

Looking back, these paintings make me really emotional... like gosh.
Not that they're that good, I just miss all of the time I spent painting.
I miss the people I sat with, my teacher, my high school.. just everything..
I'm only a freshman in college, so who knows how I'm going to react when I'm older!

These final pieces have become some of my favorites.. 
From start to finish, I definitely can admit that I improved.
Sadly, I haven't been able to paint for a few months now.. and I have no idea when I'll be able to get back to doing what I love.

Definitely one of my favorite pieces (oh my gosh, I sort of like something that I made??).
Still sort of bothered by some aspects, but I think that if I tried to fix parts, I would end up making this piece worse!

Yet another piece that I'm not a fan of.. 
I think during this process I hit a rough couple of weeks where my inspiration was low and I wasn't too motivated to work.
I may work back into this one eventually, but for now it will be left alone.

AHHHHH!!!!
I'm sorry for my absence; college has consumed every second of my life, and I haven't had any time to update my blog!
I'm going to try to get back to updating every now and then!
While I sort out my life, here is piece seven from my senior concentration!
This may be one of my least favorite.. it's quite sad...
