I thought I'd share some of my artwork
All the other beautiful art posted around here has urged me to want to share some of my own work. I had a tough time deciding what to post, so I ended up with more than a few in the topic here. I hope you guys enjoy.
I pretty much don't title my art ever. The paintings are all acrylic on either stretched canvass or canvass flatboard of various size. Drawings with graphite pencil and charcoal. the lighting isn't perfect with my camera, but I think you can get the general idea.
This is my favorite of all the paintings I've done, it makes me think of Atlas holding the world on his shoulders.
Inspired by a song called Centerfold, by my favorite band Floater. The thing around her leg is an abstract rendition of a neuron "firing".
Sea turtle I painted as a gift for my husband.
The one on the left is the first painting I ever did (as an adult I mean)
Painting I did of my little brother, Skylar, after he passed away early this year. Using his kindergarten school picture as reference (the time I remember as the best memories with him)
Drawing of Skylar at the age of fifteen. Graphite.
Tattered tulip done with graphite. I wrote a poem to go with this picture, anyone interested? 
graphite pencil
charcoal, I am disappointed I messed up her right arm, but like it still.
Really angry drunken graphite and charcoal abstract.
Pepper, that's really wonderful! My favorites are the third one with the sun and the tree, and then the blue one that's in the picture with your first ever painting. These are fantastic.
I'm so astounded by the skill of the artists around here. I wish I had that. I'll settle for looking at this stuff.
Thank ye much guys.
Loved it! Keep Painting! Sorry about your brother, i bet he is proud of your work.
So...We are still going to die. Right?
Thanks Francisco. 
I love the abstract swirly paintings. When I'm not poor I will buy one from you!
I like these, but I have to wonder, what if your painting had been inspired by THIS version of centerfold?
YGGDRASIL!
Yay! haha.. 
I love that song.
They are a local Portland band and his is the song I meant, kind of a crapy video, and the audio isn't that great either, but it's the best one available for the song in question
(lyrics)
Centerfold
Ooh.
Woke up this morning
lying in my bed.
Someone was next to me,
or was she in my head?
It was a centerfold
with hair so red.
Sleeping right next to me,
lying in my bed.
Uhh.
Aw...
Whoa...
Did she quietly creep into my room last night?
And I wonder if I should feel so uptight. Oh
And I would try to talk to her, but it wouldn't feel right.
No it wouldn't feel right.
No it wouldn't feel right.
Wouldn't make it feel right
I reach for my lighter,
at the foot of my bed.
I lit the corner of the nylon,
purple bedspread.
Set her on fire,
and I was clutching my head.
ignite that centerfold,
but I kept her head.
Right here.
Right here.
Yeah.
Did she quietly creep into my room last night?
And I wonder if I should feel so uptight.
Oh, and I would try and talk to her, but it wouldn't feel right.
No it wouldn't feel right...
No it wouldn't feel right...
wouldn't feel right
Uhh, Uhh, Uhh, Woah!
This is a better example of their music (their most popular song too)
and here, a fan made video
I better stop or I'll be posting their videos and audio all day. I turn in to a complete Juggalette Supreme when it comes to these guy's.
I'd be happy to just give you one. I'm too poor for postage myself most of the time though.
the best part of art class was the time we had to go outside and find sticks and then we dipped them in india ink and "drew" with them. that was the best piece of art from that class that i did. you should try it.
For me, a piece of art needs to have a title and be signed for it to be considered finished.
Also, I am no fan whatsoever of "abstract" art. But a lot of those up there I wouldn't consider abstract, so I like them.
The only thing worse for me than abstract art is when people write words and shit on paintings. Morey does that a bunch and it drives me buggy every time i see it!
YGGDRASIL!
and I thought I was just painting the dogwood in my front yard.
I adore the sea turtle and the two paintings beneath it. All impressive stuff though!
What I have shown you is reality. What you remember... that is the illusion.

it could be expressionistic the only reason some of her art may be considered abstract is the fact that its untitled
anyway great job pepper i love the abstract/expressionist pieces.....i wonder why....?
i also like your charcoal drawings...the drunken angry one especially
magnificent. all of it. especially the first skylar picture. just fabulous. see you in the guggenheim
