You know that piece that you are just so proud of?

This is that piece.
It measure 36 by 28 inches and is done on a canvas i stretched myself. This is my "first" painting. First time I stretched a canvas, first time I found my style in oil painting and first time in painting I have really liked one of my own pieces.
I created the piece based off a mood, i started with the girl and, while listening to a lot of christmas music) the scene was created before me. I had a lot of fun doing the snow. Imay touch this painting up in the future, maybe not, I'm just so proud of it right now. :)

drawing final

For my drawing final I made 34 kites that fit int a series of elating moments in my life. I chose to focus on happy moments and edit out the sadness in my life in an exploration of the moments of my childhood I want to hold onto, and the aspects of being a child that I hold close. My life was not full of happy moments all the time but the majority was a joyful wonderful experience and I would'nt trade it for anything. The piece is also a materialization of some of my feeling of homesickness.
Here are some highlights from it.
