Elf Ellen

This oil painting was done for my mixed media class. It was a semester-long project and we were asked to paint one of our classmate and portray his/her characteristics. I painted my classmate (who is also my friend) Yang. Yang is sometimes referred to as "Ellen" by her other friends and I decided to portrayed her as an elf and incorporate elements of steam punk, because those are some of Yang's many interests.

Here are some detailed shots of the painting:
