art wot i 'ave done

Have just come back from my second art class - now no more before I leave CT - and have finished a picture I have been working on, so thought I would share...
Now remember, I have been at class and therefore am learning some stuff. But been having fun using brushes, sponges, and palette knife to apply paint to paper and here are the results...





Then here is a picture I have been working on outside of class and inspired by some sculptures I saw and sketched and thinking of all the girls that are "sold" into the sex trade.



Are we really for sale? Do we value our sisters, daughters and friends so little? We are all worth so much, each and every one of us, and yet we take away people's worth every day through war, prejudice, violence, sexual abuse and the hurtful words we say. Isn't it time we stopped and started to do things to ourselves and others that show our worth?
