I’ll be sketching out my next piece today, which is a dog portrait of this adorable little girlie named Bailey. I’ll post a pic of her sketch later on today!
SooOOoo how are YOU doing? I put up a new gadget over there on the left, you can put yourself on my guest map! I thought it would be fun to see where all of you guys are. (No it doesn’t ask for your street address..lol) So you click on the thing, you click stuff, you say “hey!” in comments and voila, you’re on the map! All this neat stuff out there on the internet, you know? I have to try everything. ;D
What’s on your Christmas wish list this year? Every year I have a hard time thinking of anything that I could possibly want. You know what I mean? So I go back to when I was a kid and made my wish list..and the only thing I’ve ever wanted and never ever had is a Cashmere sweater. I won’t buy it for myself because it’s way to frivilous, besides I don’t think I ever spend more than $15 on a top for myself (when I do buy ’em!).
Now that I’ve lost all this weight though, I’m finding myself tossing things in my closet because I wore such frumpy stuff before. I decided last spring that I didn’t want to be frumpy anymore! Even my winter coat is way too big, so I’m hoping to stop down at Kohl’s to pick up a new coat. I’ve got my eye on this sweet suede number, I’ve never had a suede coat either. Here, it’s on sale. I should have picked the darn thing up last week, it was only $48 the day after Thanksgiving. Dang! 😛
Alright there’s my morning babble, I’ve got to get in the shower and get ready for the day! I hope you have a good one, too!!

I’ve just sent the huge versions of these over to my client for her to have a close look at. I am SO pleased with how this piece turned out. Once I get a scan of it (a couple of days) I will post with the reference photos too. I worked from 5 different photos to put this piece together. What I love is that you wouldn’t know it!! I just wish I could be there when she opens it. Here are a couple of pics!!
P.S. SORRY E!!! ;P~~~

I just turned the webcam on if you’d like to watch me paint!
I am planning on finishing this piece today, so I will be back & forth in the studio for the rest of the day and probably into the night.
See you in the studio!

Good afternoon!
Just wanted to let you guys know that I will be finishing up WB&F tomorrow. I decided to surprise my mom today so we ventured over to her house for the day! We’re going to kick back tonight and let our tummies settle from all of her nummy food. She makes the bestest apple pie EVER!
Catch you in the morning, have a great evening!!
WB&F WIP #7
November

2004
Almost done!!! Lemme see, here’s a rundown on what’s left to do: W’s necklace and any other deepening/highlighting of her hair, a smidge more detail on her right hand (across her lap). Both kitties will get their final coat of fur, whiskers, and enhancements to their eyes. I think that’s it, I’m sure I’ll tweak other things here and there.
The webcam is off now, and I’ll let you know when I’m getting ready to start finishing things up! (Probably late tomorrow or Monday morning)
WB&F Painting on Cam!

This is day 7, my webcam is on, and I will be getting a LOT done today. I did fiddle with my cam a little bit and have it (hopefully) properly embedded within my website now, you can click on Miss Cam (the funky webcam/eye smiley to your left) and/or go to intricateart.com/webcam to view.
You can also log on to your Yahoo Messenger and watch me there, my cam ID is “intricateartist”. 😀
UPDATE 9:30AM I’ll be away from my cam for about 1/2 hour while I change out the bulbs in the studio! I’ll leave my cam on.
Please let me know if it’s not working for you!
Go on, watch me paint!
What day is it?!

Did you ever have one of those days? It’s 3 in the afternoon, you walk over to your computer, sit down and realize that the day is almost over, and you wonder what you’ve been doing that’s taken this long?
I’ve been tending to my wounds today, which I didn’t think would take as long as it did. 😛 I’ve been trying to potty-train my 10-year-old little 3-year-old who has decided that she would rather pee on the kitchen floor and hide under the dining room table. I’ve been painting B&F in my head so that when I sit down to paint tonight I will be able to get far enough along to finish this painting by the beginning of the week. I’ve talked to Mark for a little while, I’ve drooled as I thumbed through my new Coldwater Creek catalog, I’ve pondered the meaning of life & counted my blessings, and I’ve taken some macro shots of the beautiful bouquet of flowers that were delivered just shortly after I arrived home from the hospital Tuesday. Boy they are beautiful, and aromatic to boot! Here’s your eye candy for the day:
Stargazer Lilies are my favorite. I could bathe in their aroma, I truly could.
I will be hanging out with Jay for the afternoon, and once I get her tucked in tonight I will update and turn the webcam on. I plan to paint from about 8:30PM CST until about Midnight.
See you in a bit!
Happy Thanksgiving

To me, today is about being consciously aware of the blessings in your life. I try to think of these things daily, so today is one of those that you get an extra helping of dessert. (Hey Care, pass the pretzel pie!)
My life is blessed in so many ways that I don’t get too hung up on the bad stuff for long. Optomism helps! I have two beautiful and smart girls; a wonderful, loving husband, and a comfortable home. Friends and family who love, support and encourage us as a family as much as they encourage me artistically whom I adore. Faith that has carried us through so much, especially the past year, and has kept us safe and healthy. And especially, because this is my artsy blog, I am blessed with a gift that I am honored and privileged to share through my website, that positively effects the people who see it and those who receive it. Because of this gift, I’ve had the opportunity to meet so many wonderful, kind, loving and warm people who are as passionate about life and love as I am. It’s an amazing way to come in contact and become friends with people who are so likeminded.
That being said, I would like to wish all of you special folks in my life a blessed day, an extra helping of pretzel pie, and just as many if not more blessings that you are consciously aware of every single day. Life is good. Enjoy it. 🙂
