jessface and randy go to the grand canyon

after seeing my little photo paintings of tim and i, my friend jess wanted one of her and her boyfriend at the grandcanyon.  she sent me a photo of the canyon and i painted their cartoony portraits on top for a cute combination of their own personal memories/photos and original painting.

how cute. to refresh your memory, look back at my past photo paintings here!

big sur

number 2 of the paintings on photographs on canvas.  made in celebration of 3 years of fun festivities with tim.  again, like the yosemite one, this was a practice piece for the ultrasound.  tim and me at the prettiest place in the world (so far that i've seen) big sur in california.  it's not as fun as the yosemite painting with the focus point on tim's misery, but i figured i'd make one for him to portray our fun and happy memories... despite the fact that hours after this photo was taken, tim barfed up his roadside burrito once we drove off those long, winding, neverending roads along the monster cliffs in the dark under the starry night sky..  so romantic

the yosemite disaster

as of last week, i've "officially" been with tim for 3 years. no need for presents so we just make each other stuff cause we're artsy.  i used this as a chance to test out the painting on top of photographs on canvas (the practice pieces i mentioned for the ultrasound).  thought it'd be fun to print out some photos we took during our trip to california this past april and paint cartoony characters of us.  this is the first of two that i did, my favorite view from our day in yosemite.  tim was unfortunately horribly sick that day thanks to an awesome tooth infection that ruined the first few days of our cali trip.  so here we are at yosemite, i was overwhelmed with excitment! and tim...overwhelmed with pain and misery. it's funny...

ps- don't ask me why i'm standing.  i started painted me too high up didn't know how to fix it so i just painted in legs. awkwaaaard
