FINISHED PIECES!

So I guess it's about time I put some finished work up here! I sent the one called "Corey Anne" and "The Gift" to Japan, so wish me luck!!!
Matrix Fine Art has the other pieces, and I'm working on a really large one now - figuring it will take up more space....
I've been working really hard and been on an emotional roller coaster. Sometimes the things I want to make are dark, and others whimsical, and others just strange.
Well, what is, is, I guess....

These two are extremely small but very delicate, and both took around two weeks to paint, and about three days to draw.
The frames are antique brass and iron, and very much guided the visual interests in each piece. I am irrationally attached to the brass piece - she is such a gorgeous girl with so much sadness.

These two are nice and framed and finished! Just thought I'd share...:)

These two are the universal favorites and I've sent them to an exhibition in Japan. Hopefully they'll get accepted. I'm really nervous. Although a friend of mine - a well-seasoned exhibitioner - told me, "after twenty or so rejections, you get used to it." I've had one acceptance into Bulgaria. That was my first attempt. I hope I haven't gotten spoiled!
Wish me luck everyone.
