Meandering Mississippi



I finally arted! This is the first painting I have made since graduating from college, oh, 4 years ago. It was fun, it was frustrating, it was relaxing and stressful, at times I thought it looked great and other times I wanted to quit completely. But, I've finally gotten it to the point where I'm happy with it. After seeing the finished product, I'm much more likely to keep this up.

A little history on this painting: this was created for some friends from my hometown who are raising money for an adoption. They asked friends and family to donate items to be auctioned off. You can view my painting and all the items at http://www.j4hauction.blogspot.com/ as well as read their story about their adoption quest.

  1. I really like it! The minimum bid is $400, wow. A little rich for my blood. Maybe in December when I graduate and am forced to be a grown up I can afford such luxuries :) Really nice though Holly!

  2. Thanks! Actually, the minimum bid is not $400, that was just the "suggested value". So far, one person bid $100. Hopefully they can make more money off of it, though.
