Four-foot tall flower painting and some random drawing

I have not posted artwork in a long time, so here is a healthy dose.

I finally got around to hanging this painting on the wall last night. It is four feet tall, which is the largest piece of art I have ever created! It looks like it is on fire, which is kind of awesome. I have been drawing a lot this weekend. And for some reason, I have just been drawing people. I want to learn how to draw people really well. Right now, I am at the level of a very talented 5th grader.
I have always felt that my talent and intelligence, and even my height peaked at 5th grade. I was able to get straight A+'s, I was awesome in art class, and I was one of the tallest people in class. After fifth grade, everyone else caught up in intelligence, talent, and height. So I always say that my art is like a very talented fifth grader's.


A girl in a very gorgeous dress. I have no idea why I drew the flower, but it brings out the color of the dress. I really like this one.

I wish I had this girl's hair. It looks pretty awesome.

This girl got a little hot and decided to take off her sweater. As you can see, she isn't wearing the largest shirt underneath. I think this one is cute.

This is one is a combination of amazing and creepy to me. I found a dress of BlueFly that is absolutely amazing. It has a bra-style top, cinches below the chest, and then just flows all the way to the ground. I would get this dress, except it costs $500, which is more than I am willing to spend on a dress. This drawing is an attempt at drawing myself in the dress. I look slightly crazed and sad, but I love it.
