Chalk pastel on black paper.

Andarra

She reminds me a little of Pocahontas. I loved drawing her.
Pencil on printer paper.

Reflection

Chalk pastels on black matte.

Another medium first. Love the fluidity of pastels!

Want for Wander

My first attempt at using chalk pencils on black matte paper.

I accidentally applied too much to get face, saturating the paper on her face, which accounts for the smudge on get cheek.

Chalk pencil.
Extraterrestrial, fiery, contemplative.
I love her expression.

This one evolved so much as I painted it! I'm very happy with the result.  I experimented a little with a retarder to keep the paint from skinning. I will definitely be using it in the future. :)

"Dear Christian" (a song)

you're the fresh air that I needed
before I withered away
and the spark of a lighter
keeping me from losing all my flames

when you're with me the world spins faster
and the road's a little more dangerous
but danger's what I'm craving
and the path I'm on is intended for the reckless
yeah, danger's what I'm craving
and I'm feeling a little reckless

I like it when you feel me
it always gives me a thrill
and baby when you kiss me
it's only a matter of time until
I feel that current surging again

and that electricity is on fire
I want to burn to the ground with you
you've jump-started something in me

yeah that electricity is on fire
I want to burn to the ground with you
you've jump-started something in me
baby it's you I desire


please let me keep feeling this
please keep this girl alight
give me something worth holding on to
because holding on to you feels right
