Here’s her underpainting. I honestly could not figure out what background color would compliment her best AND go with the interior of her home. I mixed this as I went along and love it. UPDATE: I’m shutting down the cam for the night, I will work on the horse underpainting in the morning.

My webcam is on and I’ll be working on both Ellie and the horse underpaintings tonight if you’d like to stop in and check on me! I’ll post those first work in progress shots when I finish ’em up.

MSN messenger is down right now (Mark if you’re around), I can’t even log on. 🙁 UPDATE: Mom just forwarded along an alert from Trend Micro that explains why MSN Messenger isn’t working, there’s a new virus spreading thru IM attachments. If anyone used their service, you may want to run a free online scan […]

Here’s another one I’ll be working on this week. Also 12×16, only this is on gallerywrap canvas. This one is going to an 8 (will be 9) year old horse lover!

Meet Ellie, she’s a Brittany Spaniel that I’ll begin painting today! This one is 12×16 on canvas panel.

After the last brushstroke I felt it, that moment hit like it did when I finished my Anniversary Rose painting. Then I stood up, put my brush down, stepped back and honest to God started to cry. I love this piece, even I am overwhelmed by it. It’s insanely amazing and rich and my jaw […]

A girl’s gotta eat, ya know? I’m leaving the webcam on, will be back shortly! I’m back! I’ll continue painting on this piece tonight until it’s finished, so until you see a pic here of the finished painting, my cam will be on! I also adjusted the cam settings, it was really yellow, wierd lookin’. […]

Remember when I started this painting? Well today I’ll be finishing it! YAYYY!! I’m going to go ahead and turn the webcam on, and I know that if you’re hanging out here this afternoon that you’re probably not interested in the :ahem: game on today, so why not watch me paint, huh? 😉
