I like to paint

So, I was looking through more pictures, trying to make more space on my computer, and found these two paintings.  

I painted these last year in painting class.  The first piece, "Willie," was my first attempt at painting and my favorite one from that class.  It was 18x24 in. Unfortunately it was stolen.

The second piece is titled, "Weight of the World."  It was 32x24in.  The style was inspired by Derek Hess.  I like the meaning behind the piece as suggested from the imagery.  I ended up selling this to my uncle.
