work from THANKSGIVING WEEKEND

Here's some stuff from this week. The one below is a personal work I did this thanksgiving weekend. I'm trying to create fun characters and put them in cool surroundings. I need to work on lighting.
This is the PLANSPONSORS bells and whistles piece that I did for SooJin Buzelli's Class. It came out okay. Tad bit Chaotic. (ooh, try saying that five times. tad bit chaotic tad bit chaotic tab dit taotic dab tit taotic tab...DAMN!)

So I ended up with a pile of canvases with 50% finished paintings. But I loved these paintings sometimes even more than my completed paintings.

The thing that I miss most about oil painting is how messy my studio space got...
