Amanda Parker: fine artist

Amanda Parker is one of my great friends from all the way back in elementary school. She was always great at art, and really started loving it in high school. Now, she is an amazing painter/artist, and learning more about her passion everyday. She painted Paul and I a picture, and we just love it! Love it so much, we got another one from her, and it arrived the other day! I really like all the different things you can see in her work. The colors and shapes, the feelings and moods of the pieces. They are just great.
You can see more of her work, here on facebook, and she also has an ebay store.
The piece she painted just for Paul and I is titled The Lift.

 The painting we saw, and just had to have because it is so cool, we saw on her facebook page, and purchased through ebay! It is called Calculating Chaos, which I thought was extra fitting since Paul is a math major.

 I am so proud of her, pursuing her dream, painting, and loving every minute of it. Getting her work out there, doing what she really wants to do. I am also glad she has such a supportive husband by her side. Keep painting, Amanda!

She also drew the art for Paul's card game: Trebuchet! I love that I had a talent to incorporate too. He has been working on this game since 2006. It has changed a lot over its life, but it has been a lot of fun play testing, and designing the cards. I hope to blog more about this in the future. So much life going on right now.
