Breana Image by Jennie (c). This is a work in progress portrait of a friend. it has been constricted as a miniature and painted in a period style. This is because this girl as well as myself, are in a historical recreation group called the SCA. I would call this work about half done, it…
Shopping Addiction Image by Jennie (c). This work is in response to the challenge of using non-art materials to create a piece where the materials and final product reflect the meaning.
