Dabbling in Daubing part deux

I promised more paintings--here they are!  

This was the first guy I was pretty happy about.  Fire, sure--I'd figured some things out.  Here, I felt like I had a real handle on what I was doing:

Some close ups:

And then I painted this guy.  Ehhh?  I got some yellow paint and tried a few things.  It's definitely not my favorite: 

More fire!  It's fun to paint:

 And then I painted a close-up of some oatmeal cream pies.  Because of all the things I've found inspire me, it's butter.  

And I'm still toying with all of you, because my favorites are still forthcoming.  The response to these has been great--I can't thank you guys enough.  I plan on breaking out the brushes again in a little while.  Pictures, it turns out, are easier to digest than words.  Who knew?
