First two paintings

My Nose Against His Arm

I had a long discussion with my inner editor about posting these.  They look so amateurish.  But I eventually decided to post them because 1) I am an amateur (and a beginner at that), and 2) Stifling the inner editor is an important part of NaNo.  So I posted them.

I'm not sure how well the colors come through in the images.  All I did was put them on my scanner -- nothing fancy in terms of color correction or anything -- and I'm pretty sure the colors are washing out and skewing somehow.  But my purpose in posting them is mostly to keep myself honest -- not put up perfect reproductions, so I'm honestly not too worried about it.

Blue Cup of Tea

The first one is an abstracted version of a weird view I got recently as I was resting my nose against my darling hubby's arm.  The second one is my attempt to paint a blue mug full of hot tea.
