Art is what I love doing, but my parents and teachers tend to tell me 'It's nice, but it's just a hobby' and something along the lines of 'You're a clever girl, go and do something else'
I don't know what the future holds for me, but I really hope somehow art is a part of it
So yeah, here are some of my paintings and I hope you like them :)
Ps, here is a picture of a tomato I found the other day.
smellkjepp
10/10 would buy art from
thegreatwhitedope
Is it just me or does op's 1st pic look like overly attached gf's sister?
lucyemms
ha, people have told me this before actually
cpuppet
I would really like to purchase the one of rimini cafe (if you are looking to sell).
JMcDoubleR
I would pay you obscenely for many of these paintings. Is there anywhere I can go (e.g. a website) where I can pay you obscenely for some?
acunninglinguist
Love the texture. Beautiful. Shades of van Gogh, at times.
MistressC
No joke, I would definitely love to buy some of your art.
megatrep
why so many downvotes when someone finally posts some oc instead of the same dumb reposted shit that keeps getting pts? dumbass imgur
Thistles
I'd upvote for the art, but downvote for doing the "girl in front of object she wants to show" thing. SHE GETS NOTHINGGG
TobiasFunkeTheAnalrapist
GUYS DO THIS ALL THE FUCKING TIME TOO
spirrisilver
Good job Ms. Lucy!
LQTM
This lurker's a looker!
Elligator
I think if you are 18 and paint like this you have great potential. Do not rest on your laurels.
quasimodo69
I am with you...but it is a matter of taste...but DAYEM!She has talent! WAYYY more than I have...rock on!...
medievalDickweed
I agree, i wish i had that amount of skill at 18!
rippingpepperoni
You and your art art beautiful! Very talented OP.
rippingpepperoni
are* I'm a noob
flyinghamster
Thought the 5th one was Jesus for a second.
PeterJanecek
Why would a second want a Jesus? Also, What dit the first want?
electricpimp
Pretty sure that's a hipster Jesus...also my favorite.
YaImaTurtle
I thought it was the guy on the Zig-Zag package.
stayspontaneous
The tomato isn't Jose
clapbaby
I'd rather look at you than your art.
whipstitch
I would pay a princely sum to have a portrait of myself painted by you--not even joking. These are lovely, you're awesome!
PDXDUS
Seriously, I want one. Setup a website, post it here and start taking our money.

eggwig
YES thank you.
nachochachos
First picture makes me think: overly attached artist.
BenCampbell
Picture 1: Overly attached painter
aribugari
I'm glad somebody else saw that.
troublemutt
I totally thought this was going to be a Fear and Loathing parody... +1 for no Barbara Stresiand portraits
Metameme
Apparently we are the only ones. +1 for you!
evilrobotcop
Those are beautiful paintings. Also, if you want to do art as a career, you will need to support your art habits through any means. (1/2)
eggwig
Support her art habits? It's painting, not heroin.
evilrobotcop
But supplies are not free and bigger canvas is not cheap... But it's about as addictive and releases as many endorphins as heroin. :-P
evilrobotcop
The starving artist trope is a reality. If you want to do art, all you need to ask yourself is, "Is it worth impairing my own health?" (2/2)
cherrywoodapplesauce
Your style of painting has a very relaxing quality.

THOSEvibes
i dunno why people downvote things like this. I mean OC is like foundation of imgur.eeesp art, shit i can't draw that +1.
quasimodo69
I was thinking she wanted HONEST FEEDBACK.Some critique of her work..Who likes it..and who doesn't...BFR-Be for real...lol
ArmadilloDill
I AGREE WITH THIS
sarmik
simple. they want to make the downvote bar look like a blunt with a cherry at the end.
crackaddict
if she was ugly this would have never made it to the front page. fact.
BaxterTheMiniatureBuddha
I don't know about that. Honestly, I think her art speaks for it self.
Plutoisstillaplanet
I downvoted because while the OC itself is brilliant, the "this is me!" at the beginning annoys me. I want good, clean OC, that's all.
ProcrastinateurParExcellence
So people demand OC, and when they get some, they downvote it for being somehow "wrong."
lilyrei
I never post self-pics when I post my art, and I've never gotten to the front page. Clearly I'm doing something wrong
GdSvThQn
If you're going to complain every time a picture gets a handful of downvotes you're not gonna have a very good time here.
muntoo
Get RES and I guarantee you will hang yourself in a week.
quasimodo69
I am with you...I come here for a laugh...I don't care about the points...If I did..I would hang myself....lol.I don't have time for that!
mcjugga
Are you kidding? Reposts from reddit are the foundation of imgur.
tinglesauce
Actually they're not reposts from Reddit, they're posts from Reddit. They get submitted here to have an image hosting platform. Then, (1)
tinglesauce
they if it becomes popular via facebook, reddit, tumblr, or twitter based on views it pops to the gallery. Not reposts, just reviews. (2)
mremaknu
I know you might love them and stuff, but your parents and teachers deserve to be hit in the head with tack hammers.
Ntrnlerror9
"clever girl"
belegstrongbow
The painting of the street cafe is the first thing I've seen on imgur that could hang in a museum. This stuff is legitimate art!
balz
That tomato seems very happy to see you ;)
IHaveAPhrasalUserNameLikeThisOneCauseTheyAlwaysGetTheTopComment
Obvious joke, yet super funny. Thumbs up for you.
aximili
So do I.
ddevvann
Screw them, with this sort of talent you deserve to make it more than just a hobby.
swankles
+1 for art and the dick tomato
iamthegoods
Am I the only one who thinks the look in OP's eyes in the first pic looks a little like overly attached girlfriend?
figmentofeveryonesimagionashun
Totally +1 for the art and dick tomato. You're super talented! Keep it up!
SoaringMuse
Tomato for scale??
plusoneforyou
okay, at first i thought this was a "look at me i'm pretty" image. but i'm not going to lie, that's good work right there. keep it up! +1
hempfandango
It's not a dick; it's just waving hello!
DaveMick
That's what the Priest said.
averysocialzombie
Yeah, it's a raging hello.
meyenme
no.. no... no... Thats a penis, a red rocket if you will
Nebayo
It's waving with it's dick.
hanklite
sad when somebody tries to show off their "Talents" and a tomato gets the attention...
Buckethead0004
....but TBH mainly for the dick tomato
ikeepwipingSTILLPOOP
I like to imagine she ate the dick tomato Lorena Bobitt style.
pumapants
I get the reference, and I'm laughing painfully.
ikeepwipingSTILLPOOP
Thanks! I was downvoted to -2 initially, and thought: "WTH?! How is my humor so far off base from other ppl's?"
vorduul
Art isn't always a livelihood, but it is that which makes life worth living. Even if you can't live off your work, don't live without it.
mydreammanhasalightningboltscar
Very well said
VeliciaL
...this is totally going in my list of favorite quotes...
vorduul
I'm not a huge fan of paintings, but these look pretty and interesting.
vorduul
I realize this is a sweeping statement, but I don't really get much out of purely visual arts with few exceptions.
MysteryCanuckian
Wish I could upvote this to the top, it could not have said been stated more clearly / effectively.
BradSchuyler
couldn't have said it better myself.
WesTexMex
If you paint the horny little tomato, I will buy it and hang it in my office
XNiiNJA
Your comment gave me major Deja Vu. Why on earth...
nac27
I'LL PAY DOUBLE.
neuroptera
GOD DAMN IT OP, FUCKING DELIVER.
PedroyH
Lets hope the OP delivers and paints it and then you deliver and hang it in your office.

UncleMortimer
Very pleased with this response, well done.
crispylikechicken
I too would purchase a horny tomato painting in this style.
mwoodman

owlparliament95
+1 for 'devilish little lycopersicum'
bradleyk
I'll start a bidding war.
gulerotmeister

DarmokAndJaIadAtTanagra

miggidymiggidymiggidymiggidymackdaddy

RonWeasleyFromGryffindor
Did you know? In Portuguese "tomato" is an euphemism for "testicle".
kdizzlejizzle
I will pay cash moneyyyy
Ihumpdeadwaffles
I'm tagging along just so that I'm there when OP delivers.
BSTAN
Based on how many people are also saying they want this picture, OP could start a pretty good business
yourfaceilikethatshit
Your office in Taco Johns?!?!
carrg
Yes I would buy one tomato art.
MyRealNameIsPaul
If you paint me as a horny little tomato, I'd buy it and hang YOU in my office. It has a window. And coffee. Bagels. No it doesn't. Wtf?
FreckleCharms

gulerotmeister
Sooooo did you get a painting of an erected tomatodick?

ooglybooglies
All this beautiful work and you people just want dick tomato :P haha
ineedyoutubelinks

sushaichuck
instructions not clear. dick stuck in tomato.
lolface
Imgur wants the D.
freddydingo
Technically, all we know is that WestTexMex wants some tomato D. I'm sure some of imgur wants the D, but lets not assume everyone does.
quad4quad
I want the TD
fibbetmoff
STD. (some tomato dick)
