As the days dwindle down&#8230; It&#8217;s finally my FINAL semester in pharmacy and although I&#8217;m trying my best to maintain attention for the program, I can&#8217;t help to be constantly tugged back towards art.

Those ominous black circles will transform into characters within the next day or so. Stay tuned! (COAH project?) August 13 / UPDATE Tweaked colors and added characters. I gave the whole painting&#46;&#46;&#46;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&#8220;People are unreasonable, illogical and self-centered. Love them anyway. If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Do good anyway. If you&#8217;re successful, you will win false friends and true enemies. Succeed anyway. The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway. Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable.&#46;&#46;&#46;]]></description>

As I oohed and ahhed at her vibrant paintings, I began to read some of her FAQs and discovered that she is predominantly self-taught.

This sketch only took a couple of minutes, but the colors took much longer than they should&#8217;ve. The result isn&#8217;t by any means as eye-popping as 2.5 hours could&#8217;ve produced.
