Painting on Cam & Other Stuff
November
12
2004
Good morning!
It’s just past 8am, the webcam is on and I will be painting shortly!
I had a couple of other things I keep forgetting to tell you about, too.
First, I uploaded a new page to my website, 2004 : At a glance
The fall months make it increasingly difficult to keep things updated in my galleries. I thought having that whole grouping of paintings all in one place would show browsers all of my paintings just from this year, especially since some of them aren’t even in their appropriate spots yet! After the holidays I will go through and revamp some of my galleries so they make even more sense. 🙂
The other thing, remember Monday (I think?) when I said I was starting my program again? Well ta-da! I’ve been treadmilling and drinking 64 oz. of water a day, and I’m already down 5.5 lbs. See how cool that works? It won’t be long before I’m at my final goal.
Ooh yea, my holiday commission schedule is fully booked now, so if you’re wanting a custom pet portrait as a gift I will still honor my sale price until the 15th but replace the actual painting with a Gift Certificate instead. Sound ok to you?
Painting early today, I’m going to try to finish up these kitties today before my afternoon appointment. Have a great day!!

I finished up Sebastian today and will work on Scarlett tomorrow, then I’ll touch-up Sebastian’s fur highlights.
Heard from Mark today, yay! He’s all moved up to his new location. What a relief.
Have a good night!
Veteran’s Day
November
11
2004
Veteran’s Day used to be a day to remember our older retired vets who have been there, done that. Over the last couple of years it’s had a different meaning to me personally. Mark is a Veteran now of 3 wars. Beirut-Lebanon, Persian Gulf, and now Iraq. I have to say I have a lot of respect for the guys who have been there, done that, and volunteer to do it again knowing in advance what they’re getting into.
So thanks, to all Veterans and especially my own, for being so brave.
I’m back from my Dr. appointment, back from the pharmacy, and now my schedule next week is filling up with other Dr. appointments. So I will be getting into the painting groove big time the next few days!
I’ll start working on Scarlett & Sebastian again on my Yahoo connection(already up and running).
Yea, in case you’re wondering, I am having hubby withdrawls about now. I haven’t heard from him in over a week now. Forgive me for seeming sullen, I do get pouty when I don’t get to chat with my guy!
See ya on cam…

Here are the work in progress photos. I’m wrapping the cats around the sides of the canvas. I’ve got a LOT of work to do on them still, and now I have an appointment in the morning so I will probably not be painting until late morning/early afternoon tomorrow.

Carly Sue – Scan & Reference Photo
November

2004
HERE she is…
The flash & background really washed her colors out in this photo, and mom had sent a dozen or so to work from so I enhanced her colors using another photo that didn’t make her eyes and coat look “pale”. 🙂
I’ve got some treadmilling to do before I start painting this morning, so I’ll update when I’m ready to start. Yeaaah, alright I’ll paint on cam. :P~

Sorry for the temporary outage, folks. My site went down probably shortly after midnight, obviously I got everything fixed and I’m up and running again!
I’ll be working on Carly Sue off cam today. I’ll post the final portrait when it’s ready.
Have a great day!
