Life, Love, and Critters – of course!
I’ve received confirmed arrival times. If you’d like to know, please e-mail me directly as I’m not going to be posting the information here. It’s wierd how many foreign hits I’ve been getting the last few days, and I’m not going to take any chances with it.

This week is flying by.
I’m up at the crack of dawn, drink about 5 huge mugs of coffee, have some quiet time before the girls get up, and then they’re up. Then it’s breakfast, getting ready for school, doing the mom thing, and getting Caitibug out the door.
Then I get ready to paint.
Yesterday I was up at 6, started painting at 9, and finished at 4. We had “pizza night”, “scrub the floors” night, “bathe the guinea pig” night, and “go to bed early ’cause what an exhausting day” night. Vacation? What’s that?! Hard to believe that within the next 24 hours I will complete my last painting before Mark’s return, and I will (try with every ounce of my being) not pick up my brushes for over a week. That just seems so wrong!!
The Catfish was delivered yesterday, you can see him here in my studio.
With that, I’m going to go enjoy the Cardinals who are gracing my backyard with their song, and get 4 additional cups of coffee, and paint all day today, much like yesterday!
Have a good one!
Riley’s done! Riley’s done! 16×20, big fella he is, yup. Scan and stuff forthcoming…
I’ve gotta stop for the night now, this is the progress on Riley. I was really hoping to finish him tonight, but that’s just not going to happen. If I hit the hay now, I can get up early and get him done, and then continue on with the Macaws. The birds probably need more drying time anyway.
Saturday, 2 PM.
I’m sure that will change in the next 24 hours. It’s the military way! 😉
Whew! What a great painting session! I ROCK! LOL Just kidding. Partially. I am very pleased with this underpainting. Having this much done already is going to save me a great deal of time covering canvas. Now I can just work on the feathery lil-details! YAHOO! I’m going to finish on schedule!!!
Dontchya love this background?!
I’ve just finished the re-sketch on Thor & Oz, they’re on a 24×24 (2ft square) gallerywrap canvas. I’ll start the background on them tomorrow after I finish up Riley.
