S.K. Brookes {La Bella Vita}

Can't tell Me Nothing

A piece to my Childhood Collection. This explains my little girl way more than I ever could. She's a little fire cracker but she still tends to do things that could possibly end up a bit messy, unnecessarily. Made with pure oil paints.

Rome Home

This little lake is right out back of my house in Rome. It took me nearly a month to get it just right. But it's done in mixed media with oils and pastels and charcols and pencils.

Valley of the Shadow

Another piece of my Jupiter Ascending Collection. I believe in the midst of all my happy go lucky moments with this collection I struck a nerve within myself and sought out something darker, and this is the result of it all. Made with pastels and color pencils and a bit of charcoal here and there.

Ain't No Mountain

Baby Love

My mini me helped me with this one. It's always giving me a good laugh.

Through The Window

Another piece to the Jupiter Ascending Collection . Done incomplete pastells. was first drawn out and then covered and then drawn all over again.

You'll Always Be My Boy

I drew this picture as a birthday gift to someone. It's one of the hardest that I've ever done cause there's a lot more effort in trying to give someone a gift especially if it means something. I still don't think it's perfect but it's as close as I was going to get.**

On My Own

Enough sai. Made with oil paints and pencils. **

In My Mother's Clothes

A piece to my Childhood Collection. . Always dressed up in mommy's clothing. I love this little girl. Done with pastells and pencils

Flowers in the Attic

Blues in New Orleasn

Dark Horse

Music is my boyfriend.

Reborn

Hear My Heart Speak

Apart of the dancers collection. To dance is to hear our hearts speak. It's my favorite quote. It's so honest and true and when I saw this bit happen in a show once. I had to try and recapture it. Done in watercolors and oils

Lady in Blue

Another piece to the Jupiter Ascending Collection. I love this picture because like all abstract art. It is definitely not what it seems. I don't know how I started this path, but once I got it here. I have seriously fallen in love with it. Made with pastels and oil paints

Peace

Windy City

Concrete Jungle

Bae

Waiting

Like No One's Watching

A Whole New World

Another piece of my Jupiter Ascending Collection. I don't know what I was originally going for, I do know I had drawn tihs right afte watching Fantasia 2000 with my daughter so that could be the reasoning behind it. Made with watercolor paints and oils.

Disarray

Face your past

Another piece of my Jupiter Ascending Collection. We all have demons and between artwork and dancing is how I deal with mine. It's always nice to face your fears. Made purely with watercolors and a bit of shredding in the canvas. It is definitely one of my favorites.

Happiness

I have a friend that seriously found this to be his only happy place. A shoebox apartment and his fat back television screen. Happiness is different to everyone, and quite honestly I find this absolutely stunning.

Praying for strenth

The man in this picture yes he's there if you're looking hard enough. I suppose is a reflection of myself and how much I honestly sit and pray that things just get better. Sometimes it's the answer. Made with pastels and watercolors and a little bit of color pencils.

Self River

Another piece to the Jupiter Ascending Collection. I love it because of the way that the pains are placed on the canvas. It looks like some form of reflextion and I like to think it's also doublcd as a self portrait.

Walking Through the Forrest

Through My Eyes

Confusion

Rain City

Another piece to the Jupiter Ascending Collection. Made from oils and color pencils. It took about a day and a half to finish
