Some New Paintings in Progress

Still no sun today, which is sort of strange for the desert, but what are you gonna do? So I didn't get to photograph my finished paintings. But I did get some work done on these two:

Got the swirling purple background painted on this one and then painted the stem and glued on the flower and vase. Just needs some highlights and shadows with paint and it should be done.

This one is so in the scary phase. Above is a picture of the placement of all the collage elements. Below is where the painting is currently--still scary--but with a fun pink background and all the elements glued down. Oh and her lovely golden locks too. She still needs quite a bit or work but I'm real excited about her so far!
