Green Fatigue: A Popsicle Portrait

I am finally, finally, finally done with this picture! It took approximately 40 hours, and I'm sick of the color green. I hope you like it, though. I do love the finished product. My next project, not surprisingly, has virtually no green in it. What do you think I should call this picture? I'd appreciate some input. Thanks!

Painting

I have very mixed feelings for painting. In some ways, I almost hate it. That is, I hate the monotony of working on one section for an extended period of time. I love most the feeling of starting a new painting and putting the final touches on one. It's just the in-between stuff that gets to me! Isn't that how it is with any project?

Popsicle

This is a work in progress in my oil painting class. Story behind the picture: everyone was eating popsicles once upon a time in July,  and I noticed that they were really fun colors. So I went outside with the camera and made everyone pose. Great photos! The lips shall remain anonymous, thanks to a request from the sibling. The green part of the popsicle alone  took 2 hours. It's great fun!

Oil Miniature

This is a miniature oil painting we did for my class. I haven't gotten back my first painting from being graded yet, but I hope you will enjoy this one in the meantime. It was about 2 inches by 3 inches, and it was a lot of fun to paint. And by the way, the white thing near the back is a plastic bag, not cauliflower. (A lot of people are confusing the two.) :)
