While looking through my old artwork I found this watercolor I did of a model when I was 19 - this is one of the pieces that helped me get a scholarship to the Philadelphia College of Art.
I didn't take care of the painting very well, unfortunately, you can see the tear in the back of the hair. It is done on lousy quality paper - I had no idea at the time that there were a variety of high-quality paper types out there.

Nine years later I did this water color of my ex-boyfriend John. My style doesn't seem to have changed much in that time. But it is on better quality paper.
