This was made as gift for a close friend of mine. Of course I still haven't given it to her though. I really just wanted to play with few colours and a lot of movement so that's what I went for here. The contrast in happy and sad happens a lot in my work, it's like a choose your own adventure/emotion painting. The face atop looks like god(?) coming down to tell us all what he really thinks of us, how are you gonna act?

Just the happiest landscape. I plan on doing a lot more like this one but much much bigger. You haven't seen the last of these happy hills, not by a long shot. A few simple background patterns and just some easy bold colours. Simple but fun.. just like me. -____-

I probably had about 2 million ideas for this one before I really got into it but I'm quite pleased with the outcome. This looks like it would sit atop this family's mantle to forever remind them of their perfect day together. The pink and blue seem to work really well together and really help to push the red out even more. I also played with a bit of a darker blue colour in the background to help push everything forward and also fill some empty space.
