Portfolio Feedback and School Recommendations

[peacefr0g]

Hey Guys,

I'm new to these forums but am very interested in applying to grad school in the near future for an MFA in Painting. I'm going to apply to a couple of schools for 2012 for the hell of it but I am ready to apply for 2013 if I don't get in anywhere.

My question for you is which schools do you think suit my style of painting? and I would also really like to get some general feedback on my work. I've gotten feedback from colleagues and friends but I can never really be sure if they're being honest or don't want to hurt my feeling so please let me know exactly how you feel about it and what improvements you think I can make.

Hey! Thanks so much for the feedback! They're 24x30. I'm not really going for naturalism but I'll think about my reference materials which are mainly photos.
