Here’s the sketch!

My next painting is a biggun’. It’s 18×24, and the composition is incredible. The colors are going to be rich, deep and warm; it is going to be an amazing portrait!!

I’ve just completed the digital layout, merging a few photos together to create the composition. Once the digital layout is approved, I’ll sketch it and post a picture for you to see!

I will be painting this one on cam. You will probably see more of me than the painting since I’ll be using my floor easel, I will try to position the cam good for you!

I’ll probably post the sketch tomorrow sometime, and start painting in the afternoon. I’ll update you in the morning!

Hope you had a great day!

Here’s Annie’s scan! It is reeeealy hard to pick up the vibrancy of French Ultramarine on a flatbed! But still, she’s a beaut!

Her pic:

I had planned on shipping evvvverything today, but a couple of them still need some drying time. I’ll work on getting the others on their way this morning!

In other news, I’ve joined a few other very cool creative women to offer up a gift basket of very very nice goodies for the holidays! You can enter once at each of our websites, and if you wanna start with mine…the link’s right here:

Good afternoon!

I’m just hanging out today. Scarlett & Sebastian’s portrait is done (signed a little while ago!) so I’ll be doing paperwork and (hopefully) shipping everyone tomorrow once the last little darling has her mom’s blessing.

It’s rainy here, good nappin’ weather I think! C’mon, I can have a day off once in a while can’t I?

Here she is! There may or may not be some revisions, I will show you her scan once she’s dry & has her final approval. 🙂

P.S. I’m turning the webcam off now!

GOOD MORNING!!

I’m using the Yahoo connection today, getting a little frustrated with the javacampush thing on my own program. Phooey. So there’s the link, the webcam is ON, right-click/zoom to 200% then down to 100% to see the full view!

I’ll be painting Annie at about 10AM CST!

Just turned the cam off. Here’s the scan of Scarlett & Sebastian, and the underpainting of Annie. I have not refined her eyes or her coat yet, I will finish her tomorrow.

Today’s Annie’s turn on the easel! YAY! She is such a little sweetie pie and I am so excited to paint her!

I am guessing I’ll be painting around 10AM CST. It’s only 6:30AM, I have only had one cup-o-java so far and still have chitlens to care for. (sssh they’re still sleeping!)

So I’ll be working on Annie on Cam, I’m going to go with MY cam and I’ll go ahead and turn it on now even tho I won’t be out in the studio for a couple-a hours yet. Why not? You can gaze upon her cuteness at your leisure!

I had a dream lastnight that “Homecoming” not only sold, but had a bidding war in the last hour! Wouldn’t that be something exciting to watch! You better not be saying “in your dreams, Leanne”, because you have to know by now most of my dreams come true. ;D

Hey! Kiddo #1 is clinging to my arm smiling and saying good morning to me, so I’m going to scoot!

I’ll be back with progress pics & scans and stuff later,
HAPPY SATURDAY!

Here they are, I will wait until this layer dries and scan it, get final approval and post the finished piece for you to see!

(I’m turnin’ the cam off now.)
