I’ll start working on Ellie again momentarily, the webcam is on!
P.S. In the last 86 hrs, I’ve slept 18. Is that normal? LOL
Life, Love, and Critters – of course!
Work in Progress #1 : The Horse

(This horse will have a name, we’re still in that thinkin’ mode)
Here’s the underpainting. I know a few of you own horses, I’d love your feedback on anatomy – this is my first horse painting!
I’ll be finishing up Ellie tonight (I hope), I’ll update when I get to that point!

Prayer Request
February

2005
Merrilyn is my long-time bestest bud Paige’s mom. I met Paige my freshman year of high school, and we’ve been like sisters ever since. Her mom has always been awesome, you know how you tend to adopt your families parents? They adopted me right back so I’ve been part of her family for even longer than I’ve known my hubby.
Mom2 is going in for surgery this afternoon. She’s had some pain that led her to the hospital, and had a lot of doctors tell her a lot of things could be possible ranging from something relatively curable like diverticulitis right on up to stage 3 colon cancer.
There will be a team of doctors with different specialties in the room with her so that whatever it might be can be dealt with by its respective specialist.
Please say a lil’ prayer for her today, we’re hoping for the best. I’ll update and let you know how she’s doing.
xoxoxo
Work in Progress : Ellie #1
February

2005
Here’s her underpainting. I honestly could not figure out what background color would compliment her best AND go with the interior of her home. I mixed this as I went along and love it.
UPDATE: I’m shutting down the cam for the night, I will work on the horse underpainting in the morning.
Underpaintings On Cam

My webcam is on and I’ll be working on both Ellie and the horse underpaintings tonight if you’d like to stop in and check on me!
I’ll post those first work in progress shots when I finish ’em up.
MSN Messenger
February

2005
MSN messenger is down right now (Mark if you’re around), I can’t even log on. 🙁
UPDATE: Mom just forwarded along an alert from Trend Micro that explains why MSN Messenger isn’t working, there’s a new virus spreading thru IM attachments. If anyone used their service, you may want to run a free online scan there at Trend, they have the pattern files updated already to look for this new one. Can’t those buggers find something nicer and more productive to do with their time? I truly believe that if you’re smart enough to write a virus, you should be in the programming field making lots of moolah. Unless of course they already are, and they’re just bored. Ugh!!
6:51PM – for now, it’s workin’ again. (Maybe I’ll get lucky and get to chat with my guy before he goes back out into the sandbox!)
Work in Progress : Horse Sketch

Here’s another one I’ll be working on this week. Also 12×16, only this is on gallerywrap canvas. This one is going to an 8 (will be 9) year old horse lover!
Work in Progress : Ellie, the sketch
February

2005
Meet Ellie, she’s a Brittany Spaniel that I’ll begin painting today! This one is 12×16 on canvas panel.
I altered the hue and saturation (which is normal when you look at my sketches), pencil on white canvas doesn’t show up very well in pics!
I’ll update again when I start painting, just check the Studio Webcam Status over in the left menu.
