Description
It is done.It is done.
I put the first marks on the canvas in June, worked on it through July, and then didn't touch it again until December. In the mean time, I'd had an entire semester's worth of two illustration classes and a painting class on top of them.
I finished it yesterday, and is probably the best piece of art I've produced thus far. Given this, I don't want to look at it again for a month.
I like flowey ladies and the color blue. The clouds probably own about 60% of the time and effort that went into the entire painting, and I'm still shocked that they're not overworked. The foreground was the last thing I did and I still can't decide how much to hate it.
It's my hope that every person who views this feels at least a whisper of the emotion I tried to invest in this painting.
Oil on canvas, 16"x26"

Thank you! I'm sorry about the picture quality... the only access I have to a decent camera is through some friends majoring in Photography, and I feel awful bothering them.
But once again - thanks!

I hate it. You should like totally give up on art, Jenna. It's obviously not your thing!
*steals your skills while your not using them* MUAHAHA!
No, I really like this one. The clouds vs the blue sky is awesome and I love the woman! The detail you put into this makes it such a great piece.

Oh M Gee! 8DD I remember seeing the WIP for this and now I can finally see the finished product! <3
ohhh, the tension! her clenched fist, the choppy waves and the black clouds slowly crawling onto the contrasting blue sky! 8D I can practically feel her anticipation!
and the lilies are so pretty! x3 they seem so soft/fragile in comparison to the ominous clouds.
I really love this!

Yep! It's been a long process, but it's finally done xD
I'm so glad it comes across. YESSS I MADE IT WORK.
Haha, thanks... they were last-minute and a little desperate, so them not looking terrible is a triumph.
<3 Thank you.
