So this was a test! Have to see how intelligent I am, and it worked :)

might as well tell you about this painting. It's called 'Grace Like Rain' (couldn't stop humming the song the whole time because the process of laying in the paint was a lot like rain falling) and was pretty much an experiment with a palette knife and I think 4 colors. It's very textured and took forever--reminds me very much of Bill Cosby's sweaters in the '80's.

I made another to match using different colors and they hung for a while as a pair on my wall. Lots of people like them and can sit staring at them for hours. Who knew?

You can also see one of my college sketches in the background--evidence that yes, I can in fact draw!
