Haiti

Colored Pencil on Paper. 9 X 9 in.

My Dad was assigned to take a mobile hospital to Haiti after the earthquake and now they are also helping at a local orphanage. He sent us this picture this week and it was too cute to pass up.

Week 3: London

Watercolor on Watercolor Paper. 4 x 6 in.

My family lived in England while I went to high school. My mom has a little 3-picture picture frame and she has wanted me to do these little ones for a while, this week after 5 years the frame isn't empty haha ;). I am still learning how to use watercolors and have a long way to go. Practice might not make perfect but it does pretty much guarantee improvement ;)

Week 3: Sarah

8 x 10 in. Pencil on paper.

The photography was again done by Cate Sheffer. These are two of my sister's senior pictures. My family members are good sports, I have been drawing pictures of them for years and at first my drawings didn't look anything like them ;)

next week...

Pencil drawing of my younger sister Sarah, and a watercolor series of London.

Week 2: Alta

Oil on canvas. 8 x 10 in.

I snapped this picture on my first day of official missionary work. It is a ger district called Alta on the edge of the capital, and is beautiful in the summer. It is custom for gers (yurt-like tent that many mongolians live in) all to face south. I still haven't figured out how to take a good picture of an oil painting because they are so glossy. (especially when they are wet ;)
