Long Time No See...


Now I know lately I have been gone; but, for now my New Year's Resolution (Or at least however long I can seem to maintain it), is to blog MORE.

And it doesn't have to be everyday, but at least every time that I feel the necessity of something that needs to be shared, or something thing that needs to be expressed should... right? And I should blog as often as I can, as long as it doesn't interfere with my classes... of course.

Now since the last time that I have blogged, there has bee
n a lot going on, I was still on summer break then, and now that I am in my FIFTH quarter in college (WOW that first year went by SUPER fast)... I have grown so much since high school and even since last year...

So since the last couple of times that I have blogged I have created more paintings that I think I can be proud of, and I think that my Mom can be proud of me too. She is always telling me that I should sell my paintings and that maybe I should create a website that will allow me to sell them; but, I am super attached to them...

However, in recent months, I have sold a few and given some away as christmas and birthday presents to my friends, and they seem to enjoy them very much...

This painting of Koi fish has not yet been sold or given away... but it has some potential.

I have been painting the koi fish for a while now, making them different colors, have different designs, different backgrounds. So far they have been one of my favorites to paint.

Another one of my favorites has been bamboo as well...

Of course I don't just paint Koi fish, but I also enjoy painting other things as well...


Like this painting, I was inspired by love birds. This painting I have sold to one of my friends from school. I was sad to see this one go, but happy to make someone else happy, with my artwork.






Some of my friends at school have asked me if I had taken any art lessons before painting all of the things that I have, and the answer is...no. I haven't, but, I wish I had, because then I would have discovered a lot earlier that I enjoy painting.

So... New Year's Resolution (which apparently starting now, about little over two weeks into the new year): is to 1. Blog more and 2. hopefully blog more about my paintings and maybe more people might be interested in them... :D

Love,
Tori
