Life, Love, and Critters – of course!
Good afternoon!
Just wanted to let you guys know that I will be finishing up WB&F tomorrow. I decided to surprise my mom today so we ventured over to her house for the day! We’re going to kick back tonight and let our tummies settle from all of her nummy food. She makes the bestest apple pie EVER!
Catch you in the morning, have a great evening!!
Almost done!!! Lemme see, here’s a rundown on what’s left to do: W’s necklace and any other deepening/highlighting of her hair, a smidge more detail on her right hand (across her lap). Both kitties will get their final coat of fur, whiskers, and enhancements to their eyes. I think that’s it, I’m sure I’ll tweak other things here and there.
The webcam is off now, and I’ll let you know when I’m getting ready to start finishing things up! (Probably late tomorrow or Monday morning)
This is day 7, my webcam is on, and I will be getting a LOT done today. I did fiddle with my cam a little bit and have it (hopefully) properly embedded within my website now, you can click on Miss Cam (the funky webcam/eye smiley to your left) and/or go to intricateart.com/webcam to view.
You can also log on to your Yahoo Messenger and watch me there, my cam ID is “intricateartist”. 😀
UPDATE 9:30AM I’ll be away from my cam for about 1/2 hour while I change out the bulbs in the studio! I’ll leave my cam on.
Please let me know if it’s not working for you!
Go on, watch me paint!
Did you ever have one of those days? It’s 3 in the afternoon, you walk over to your computer, sit down and realize that the day is almost over, and you wonder what you’ve been doing that’s taken this long?
I’ve been tending to my wounds today, which I didn’t think would take as long as it did. 😛 I’ve been trying to potty-train my 10-year-old little 3-year-old who has decided that she would rather pee on the kitchen floor and hide under the dining room table. I’ve been painting B&F in my head so that when I sit down to paint tonight I will be able to get far enough along to finish this painting by the beginning of the week. I’ve talked to Mark for a little while, I’ve drooled as I thumbed through my new Coldwater Creek catalog, I’ve pondered the meaning of life & counted my blessings, and I’ve taken some macro shots of the beautiful bouquet of flowers that were delivered just shortly after I arrived home from the hospital Tuesday. Boy they are beautiful, and aromatic to boot! Here’s your eye candy for the day:
Stargazer Lilies are my favorite. I could bathe in their aroma, I truly could.
I will be hanging out with Jay for the afternoon, and once I get her tucked in tonight I will update and turn the webcam on. I plan to paint from about 8:30PM CST until about Midnight.
See you in a bit!
To me, today is about being consciously aware of the blessings in your life. I try to think of these things daily, so today is one of those that you get an extra helping of dessert. (Hey Care, pass the pretzel pie!)
My life is blessed in so many ways that I don’t get too hung up on the bad stuff for long. Optomism helps! I have two beautiful and smart girls; a wonderful, loving husband, and a comfortable home. Friends and family who love, support and encourage us as a family as much as they encourage me artistically whom I adore. Faith that has carried us through so much, especially the past year, and has kept us safe and healthy. And especially, because this is my artsy blog, I am blessed with a gift that I am honored and privileged to share through my website, that positively effects the people who see it and those who receive it. Because of this gift, I’ve had the opportunity to meet so many wonderful, kind, loving and warm people who are as passionate about life and love as I am. It’s an amazing way to come in contact and become friends with people who are so likeminded.
That being said, I would like to wish all of you special folks in my life a blessed day, an extra helping of pretzel pie, and just as many if not more blessings that you are consciously aware of every single day. Life is good. Enjoy it. 🙂
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!

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!!!!
