Get creative with me!
Wowzers! Look at my schedule!

I’m in a jaw-droppin’, how-the-hell-did-that-happen kind of state at the moment. I’m booked through Mark’s arrival now. Woah.
You guys are awesome.
(this is down in the left hand column under Current Schedule)
Now the pressure is on… I will paint until I can paint no more. You will look at me and see multitude of colors pouring out from my ears. When you stop by my studio you will find me underneath a sea of empty tubes of Winsor & Newton Oil Colours, feverishly applying hair to whatever sweet little creature I have on canvas.
::sqwee!::
My dream come true!
(Any other takers? c’monnn…. I want to BLEED pure pigment…bring it ON!)
Today I shall work on The Supreme’s. They will have nose jobs, eye-enhancements and ear-tucks. I will apply hair-plugs and give them chunky white streaks in pre-determined locations. They will each be their own “Swan”, and then later we can have a little pageant! Doesn’t that sound fun? (Am I losing it? You be the judge.)
I’ll flip the switch on the cam in a little while, the Mister is around somewhere and wanted to chat a bit this morning. Check back under “Studio Webcam – OFF” and if it says “Studio Webcam – ON“, c’mon in!
Guest Artists, Kris & Clara

I’ve been meaning to put these up for you guys to see for over a week now! Kris and Clara both have tremendous artful eyes, and shared some of their work with me! It is definitely good eye candy!
First, Kris, who thought she wasn’t good enough. Hah! I laugh! I set up a fruit still life with my new dimpled silver dish that came with a lotion set (Christmas gift), and challenged her by sending her the photograph of it. This is one of a few, the gal actually painted it 4 times in different medium and tones. I liked this one the best, it caught my attention first! Nice work, Kris!!
Then Clara, who in my personal opinion should be a pro-photographer, or perhaps she was one in another life (if you believe in that kind of thing!). Ever since I saw the images she’s able to capture and the moods she sets with her subjects, I’ve bugged her to go further with it. Lucky gal, now her hubby seems to be encouraging it too! He just bought her a new Canon she’s been drooling over, so I’m really looking forward to seeing many more great photos from her! Out of a bundle of pics she sent me, I picked this one because it sucked me in, made me feel like I was either flying or just up on top of a mountain looking out, right there in the moment. What beautiful scenery!!
Please help me encourage these two to push forward! So much talent, so little time…
One Purple Heart

2005
Mark was awarded a Purple Heart yesterday for injuries he sustained from an IED (improvised explosive device) attack on his team in December.
For some reason, saying “congratulations” for an award like this seems really awkward. “Thank you” doesn’t say enough, “I’m so proud” is accurate, but only partial.
I’m so grateful, and thankful, that he is alive to receive that recognition of service. It is just proof that our guys put their lives on the line for us every single day.

Everybody hit the floor!

Please? C’mon over! Floor Guy is on his way, after my morning of appointments and errands, now I’m sporting my home makeover apparel and I’m ready to get dirty and gross this afternoon! I will be so relieved to have it done.
In other frustrations, I didn’t walk yesterday. After a long day of mindbending coding and getting the New Gallery Layout completed, I hit the showers and passed out cold. Can ya blame me? That’s a lotta thinkin’!
This morning I thought I’d send out an announcement to all of my buyers/clients about the comment feature and new layout, so I spent a good 45 minutes gathering e-mail addresses only to LOSE them all when I tried to copy and paste them into the BCC to keep everyone’s info private. Gr! I had to take off for my appointment so I didn’t get a chance to redo it. I’m hoping to get that done yet today.
Ok sorry no eye candy, you can look at the ice pics from yesterday though!
New Gallery is Up and Running!

Woah! It’s up!
I have a *little* altering to do on my old layout pages to make them “match” and fix the links, but other than that, GO SEE!!!
***ATTENTION ALL CLIENTS***
If you’ve purchased or commissioned a painting from me, I’ll take this opportunity to ask that you please browse through the main gallery for your painting(s), and click the “comment” section (below the painting description), and leave a comment on how you like your painting, and how I handled things with our transaction. I would really appreciate it!! GRAZIE!!
