I worked on W’s arms today, and still need to highlight & shadow more. I also finished up B&F’s eyes and started to map out the highlights on their faces. There’s a night-time flourescent glow that I partially removed, and will try to get a better pic on Friday in daylight.
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving!! Happy Turkey day, everyone! Eat well, enjoy your family and count your blessings!

Okay folks, I am going to be painting today, maybe a little slower than normal, but I will be painting! I turned on my webcam so you can watch if you’d like!

Back later with a pic update.
IT’S SNOWING TODAY!!!!!!!!
I’m back! Surgery was a HUGE success, now I just need to kick back today and get back in the groove tomorrow!
Just wanted to check in and let you all know I’m still kickin’!
Hey everybody!
I am getting ready to turn the house over to my in-laws who will be here while I’m at the hospital doing my thing. I just wanted to thank everyone for your thoughts and prayers for a successful surgery!
I will update when I get back!
HAVE A GREAT DAY!!!!
xoxoxoxo
p.s. Mark, you be safe out there ok? I LOVE YOU! Tons of x’s and o’s for my hubby!!
W is coming along very nicely, the shape of her face, her eye color, teeth, everything – I am very pleased. (You like, J?) It’s like I had painted this piece so much in my head that it’s painting itself now! I am on about my 3rd layer on her face and neck skintones, and have probably one more, just enhancements to what is already here. Her forehead and brow area are far enough along that I roughed in her bangs, deepened her hairline and started working on her hair a bit.
Her shirt is “finished” right now. I do not anticipate having to make any revisions to it, it’s a beautiful warm chocolate color and the highlights of the fabric turned out beautifully.
Her arms look pretty pale against the rest of her now, huh? I will work on her arms next, after her shirt dries (probably Wednesday), and once she is complete I will work on the cats (the whole background/foreground layer thing). Anyhoo, this will be my last work in progress until Wednesday I’m guessing, and I’ll stop in tomorrow morning and update before I head to the hopsipsal! (yes, that’s how the girls say it!)
Have a great night!!

I will continue working on W’s skintones, and will probably move around to whatever I am inspired to work on.
I just created a webpage about my surgery, so those of you who know what’s going on (or those who don’t and are curious!) and want access, the files are password protected so drop me an e-mail for more info!
Going to get ready to paint, it’s going to be a productive and painterly day!
A few months ago, at Mark’s request, I created a stencil of Wile E. Coyote for the guys to use on their equipment etc. as that is their call sign. Apparently, the stencil is reallly popular over there, Mark says they’ve painted it on refrigerators, machinery, all kinds of things. It sounds like it’s become a “this is ours, hands off” symbol. LOL
So he’s been saying for months that he’d get me some photos of it, and here ya go. I’m just going to link them here:
Wile E. Coyote Humvee1
Wile E. Coyote Humvee2
Wile E. Coyote Bradley
Pretty neat to see it all over their stuff! Even though the character isn’t my creation, I searched everywhere for a stencil to purchase and couldn’t find one. Sorry Warner Brothers, the guys want a coyote, they get a coyote! (P.S. I’ve not made any profit from the creation or personal use of this piece.) LOL.. just covering my artistic butt there. ;P
It’s a clear day, I took another digital pic of W and modified the last WIP entry. I’ll paint today, the girls should be ok. (I hope!) I’ll update when I turn the cam on!
I worked on W’s facial features, as you can see from the pics below! Ok yes the pics are horrible when I take them at night, I have to adjust them just so they aren’t yellow and then they get grainy. Imagine that. Plllbt! Ah well you get the idea. I put a closeup pic of her face side by side with the last WIP shot. She’s coming along nicely!
I’ll get daylight pics one of these days, if I finish painting by 3PM (when it gets dark, phooey winter junk)… seriously I’m going to have to, or you all will think my paintings really look like this. ;P
Just flipped the switch, watch me paint! (Right click zoom to 200% then back to 100% for full view.) If you have Yahoo Messenger, I’m “intricateartist”.
I’ll be back there in a few minutes!
