This is the last painting I did for my university before graduating. All my "important" projects were out of the way, so I wanted to have fun with this one. I tried to be quick and loose and not hold anything "too precious," as my professor would say. In the end this was one of my favorites.

I painted this from a picture of my beautiful friend, Nicole, while we were spending time with friends in Ouray, CO.

Sweet Child


````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````


This summer I went to southeast asia with some good friends of mine. Among other things, we were able to visit a few orphanages. We met amazing people and played with many little kids who were starving for some one-on-one time with someone who cared.






A sketch from a picture that I took of this precious one at a Catholic orphanage.
