a simpler time

I've been out of college for almost six years now.  Can you believe that?  Probably not, since it seemed like I would never graduate when I was actually in school.  Low and behold, during those eight and a half years at Penn State, I kept painting.  Here's a tiny walk down memory lane, or, through the pediatrician's office my mom runs, which is where these all currently hang.


So this one is bizarre.  What exactly is this supposed to be?  A rainbow of leaves just falling in a perfect dance from the sky?  We'll never know.

This one is alright.  It's unfinished, but even in it's simple state, it's got a nice little rhythm.  I applied the paint very thinly, which is unusual for me; my go-to is a heavier hand with thicker application.

More thorns.  Another piece where something new is growing out of a dying, splintered chain of the past.  This is a theme that will probably stay with me as I continue to work.  I like this idea very much.  This particular painting is of tiny little orange blossoms.
