Back in the States!

Aaaaahhhh... it's a wonderful experience to visit a foreign country, but after a month being away from home, it's equally wonderful to return.

Still jet lagged like woah, but I'm happy :"D

Now that I am home and have my scanner, I figured I would post my favorite piece(es?) from the 40-some paintings that I did throughout the month!

~~~

My favorite piece from my main series - much more graphic and minimal that usual.

Medium -- gouache and white gel pen on Rives BFK

~~~

My second favorite. It took me a whole day of experimentation to get this one right.

I think I already showed this in my last post, so sorry to be redundant, but I love this one too! :"D

Another repeat from the last post, but it was the first in a line of personal things I did while I wasn't in class. Helena was somehow inspired by the Cloisters of Santa Chiara...

Helena Dreaming.

Helena envies the water's freedom. She dreams of floating far away on the waves, away from her island; the mountains of the mainland are barely visible, but she tries to imagine..

Her dreams never get her very far, but she likes them all the same.

More Helena.

Medium -- Watercolors over ink drawing

Helena Coming Home.

Helena again. I know she looks like a pirate or something, but she's not.

She joined the army (not her original plan), got involved in some sensitive politics, lost the most important prisoner of war and then came home. Yep. That's more or less the story, it would seem.

She also killed some guys and saved her older brother from execution.

That's more or less it for now.. I'm off to bed. GOING TO SEE HARRY POTTER HBP TOMORROW MAN!! Ffffffunnnnnnnnn..... :"DDDDD

..Goodnight!
