The Last Room
When Mark left for Iraq, I kept pretty busy. Not only did I paint a whole bunch of paintings, I painted almost every room in our house! I redecorated, ripped out walls, rebuilt things and replaced things (major things)! We bought this house about 9 years and 5 months ago. I was pregnant with Caitlin […]

Canadian Gosling
Awww…. Okay so I’m looking at the little gosling, and I’m thinking, I don’t hear anything! Argh! I just see cute, fuzzy, sweet, awwww I wanna take him home and let him live in my bathtub! So maybe he’s not “captionable”. I can live with that. It is Friday, so “awwwww” is a good way […]

Lucy’s Portrait Completed!

Lucy WIP #6
She’s starting to grow fur now! This is the second layer, and she’ll receive about 2 more coats of fine little hairs before she gets her whiskers. I’ll detail her nose tomorrow as well. Yes, in case you’re wondering, I paint each hair one at a time. That’s how they grow, right? 😉

Lucy WIP #5
Here’s where I left off on Lucy’s portait. I’ve got her back and both paws nearly completed, they have about 4 layers on them now (they’re meant to be somewhat “blurry”, since her face is the focal point). They’ll get one more coat of very fine light reflective fur before they’re finished. I also deepened […]

Wasserbahn
We’re back! We spent the weekend at Wasserbahn, which is basically a Holiday Inn with an indoor waterpark, restaurants and bar. It was FUN! It truly felt like we were on an expensive’ish vacation for a couple of days. We are waterlogged after spending about 20+ hours or something over the whole weekend submerged in […]
