Thursday Thirteen #21
Thirteen Things about Leanne, Thursday, January 12, 2006 My other Thirteens 1. This is the 21st time I’ve done this thing, and I’m changing my format, so there. 2. I’ve been insanely busy over here, and was almost not going to do my 13 today. 3. I’ve been doing well with my fitness program […]

A Glimpse of Spring

Because while burning over 100 CD’s worth of data, photography and paintings lastnight, I saw this one image and stopped for a moment to appreciate nature, and what I miss over the winter months.

Dog Painting : Joey WIP #3
(from last progress update… “This is an 11×14 oil painting, a custom dog portrait – he’s a black poodle…”) Here’s the first layer of Joey’s fur. His eyes, nose and mouth are done, although I’ll probably add a smidge more shine to his teeth and tongue. I’m estimating about 3-4 more layers of paint for […]
