It’s a two-entry morning! I wanted each of these pieces to have their own entry! Bailey’s completed scan is below, and now here’s the next piece I’ll be painting. These are a couple of lovely Bernese, Barney (left) and Bailey (right). Yes! Another Bailey girl! 🙂
G’mornin!
Here’s Bailey’s scan, much much better!! What a cutie pie, eh?
I’m to the proofing stage, here’s how she looks now. The white is really white though, I will scan the painting when it’s dry. 🙂
She’s starting to show up now, see her in there? I’ll probably finish her up tomorrow. 🙂
I refined her eyes and nose tonight, they require the most layers of paint for three-dimensionality so I’ll let this dry tonight and while I’m working on her fur tomorrow I can enhance them more.
This pup really isn’t purple and mud, you know. This is that whole skin/bottom layer/dark shading thing I was telling you about. Gotta build from the bottom up! Tomorrow she’ll start looking more “normal”, and by the end you’ll wanna reach into your monitor and sqwish and love her to pieces! 😉
I paid dearly for my chocolate binge lastnight, I have NOT been able to get going today at all! So far today the only thing I accomplished was moving stuff around here in the blog. It took 7 hours just to publish these changes, so while it was lagging I kinda sorta fell asleep. Chocolate gives me a serious drunk/hungover feeling, I wish I would remember that BEFORE I eat it! :P~
So now you know, I’m a vanilla girl. If only they made vanilla brownies. haha!
I’ll paint tonight after the girls go to bed, having a nap under my belt I should be able to stay up reeeealy late! It will be about the same time as lastnight, around 8:30-8:45PM CST for those who want to check back then. I’ll update when I turn my webcam on!
xoxoxoxo
I’m just sitting here catching up on news and I see this:
Caption: “Covering their faces, Iranian women, who are members of a suicide commandos unit, chant Islamic slogans, during a ceremony where the first suicide commandos unit was inaugurated at the Behesht-e-Zahra cemetery just outside Tehran, Iran, Thursday, Dec. 2, 2004. Members of the unit said they would bury all occupiers in Islamic lands. Some 200 masked young men and women gathered at a Tehran cemetery Thursday to pledge their willingness to carry out suicide bomb attacks against Americans in Iraq (news – web sites) and Israelis. The ceremony was organized by the Headquarters for Commemorating Martyrs of the Global Islamic Movement, a shadowy group that has since June been seeking volunteers for attacks in Iraq and Israel.

Can anyone explain to me how the A/P is there taking photos of them “graduating” suicide bomber class, but we don’t have ANY military or police there waiting to handcuff them and carry them off to wherever we’re putting terrorists nowadays? What the heck is on the list of “terrorist qualifications”?!?! UGGGGGGG.
Ok rant over. You can scroll down and look at the pretty picture now. 😛
Here’s her underpainting! Pretty freaky, huh? Heh! I do have fun spooking everyone with my underpaintings. BOO. (it’s really not that scary is it?)
Good morning! 😀
I’m going to work on the new blog today, try to get my archives moved over and stuff. I’ll paint tonight, after the girls go to bed. So if you wanna watch, plan on about 8:30PM CST! I’ll be back around then and update when I begin.
Have a great afternoon!!
P.S. After my commissions are finished, I’ll be painting (quite) a few new pieces! I’d like to paint another Red Tailed Hawk – I have a few more reference photos that I took that are amazing. I’ll also work on a series of smaller rose paintings, 6×6 or 8×8 size on gallery wrapped canvas. If you’re looking for something in particular, let me know!
