What?! Sarah Painted Something?!

So I am a hoarder of my own paintings. I find it incredibly difficult to give away larger paintings and by larger I mean not a card that I painted for a purpose. Last year, I painted a fox told my friend she could have it after I found it a frame. Basically I hung it up on a clipboard on my wall and never gave it to her. Shameful. So I started this painting with the intention of giving it to Jeffery, but I might have to "hold onto it while I look for a frame" ;).



It was nearly done at this point. I started it a few weeks ago...and just finished it tonight. For me it is so difficult to start a painting, set it aside, and comeback to it to complete it. I basically have to do it all in one fell swoop to keep me focused. Otherwise I look at it and am like ..eh... not right now been there started that.



Almost done....



Finished! It is finals week so I thought it was the perfect night to get some painting done! Studying? What? Who needs that? I might part with this sooner rather than later... he kinda has crazy eyes. Not bad crazy eyes but crazy eyes none the less.



These are some card that I drew and just never painted. They sit stacked on my desk. (Ignore the yellow sweat pants, and keyboard in need of cleaning.)

If you couldn't tell I enjoy painting and drawing foxes. lol.

Hope you enjoyed my stuff.

I am getting ready to move into an apartment and for the first time live without a roommate. One of the best parts about this, is that I get to design the space exactly how I would like it to look. The catch is, is that I am on a budget. Lucky for me we have extra pieces of furniture here and there and with a little tweaking I don't have to sacrifice my design aesthetic.
