Help! I lost Saturday. I woke up and was certain it was Saturday, and not 5 minutes later it was midnight. Dangit I hate it when that happens!! Well, one thing happened yesterday that I really needed to have happen. The Catfish was carried out of my studio and drove away carefully tucked into a […]

My good friend Elvis (I’ve painted him twice now) and I would love for you to join us in extending Happy Birthday wishes to Miss Erikie Parikie, aka Erika Nelson, that fantabulous artist friend-o-mine whom I adore! Happy Birthday chickie! Hugs to your mom too, for putting up with you for all these years! :giggles: […]

Whooowie kitty! Wow. What a pretty boy he’s turning out to be! You likey? Me likey very much. This is the underpainting. Nowhere near finished, really. I have an additional layer of paint to go! In other news, I go pick up two new pair o’ specs in about an hour. I have extremely light […]

He’ll be picked up tomorrow and clearcoated, then photographed professionally for the brochures & whatnot that they’ll have out all summer. He goes on display in a couple of weeks for everyone to see (and mess up, […]

I cannot tell you how difficult it was to get a pic of this Blue Jay! They’re pretty fast birds, and I suppose they’d have to be since most of the time they’re stealing other birdie eggs (the meanies). I love their markings though! So how you guys doin’? I hope you’re enjoying watching me […]

I may finish up the underpainting a little later tonight, seeing as how I’m so daggone motivated to paint this Lion. For now, here’s where he stands. Or sits, rather. (Update, 8:30PM, I just shut down the cam for the night. I’ll finish the underpainting and the Catfish tomorrow! NITE!)

Movin’ right along on the underpainting of this Lion, I am loving this painting already. It’s just like I painted it in my head! 🙂

This is what I’m talkin’ about! Here are the Lion’s eyes, the underpainting anyway, I’ll enhance them further on the next layer.
