This lil girl reminded me so much of Autumn Eyes that I started her background using a similar color scheme on her. Nice & warm! (The background will get another coat, too.)

Work in Progress #1 : Ashley
February
22
2005
Ashley is a silvery/gray kitty who I thought would just look stunning against this purpley-plum background. I’ve blocked in the background, her eyes and nose since Barkley is still somewhat tacky from yesterday’s session. I will probably get another one started too before I get back to Barkley.
Mark and Painting and Stuff!

I spoke with THE MAN lastnight, he is (unofficially) on his LAST patrol!! When he’s finished with this one, they’ll start turning things over to the new team. HOLY CRAP! (See Holy Crap Level Indicatorâ„¢)
It’s so strange to think that the time is really drawing near now. I keep flash-forwarding to the day we’re getting ready to go pick him up! How surreal is that going to be!? Whooowie!
Getting back into the groove, I was on the treadmill really early this morning, ran an errand, showered and now I’m getting ready to head out to the studio for a day of painting. I’ve been bad about getting my morning walk in, and lately I’ve really been needing the energy boost.
Check the webcam, I’ll be painting!
Work in Progress #1 : Barkley (PG-13!)
February

2005
Here he is, Playdog of the year, Barkley. This is just his underpainting. Both the background and Barkley will be getting another coat tomorrow.
I’m going to turn my cam off for now, I’m debating whether or not to start another underpainting tonight. I will update if I do!
Sketches : Next 8 Paintings!
February

2005
Here we go! I went ahead and sketched out 8 of the 11 paintings I’ll be working on over the next few weeks. I am still waiting on a few things for the other three, so I’ll get those up as soon as I get what I’m waiting for.
Since there are so many, and one of them is a PG-13 Pose (yes, it is an animal!), I’m going to “hide” them.
Just read on to see the eye candies!

Here’s the final scan & eye close-ups on Luke & Ella’s portrait.
I’m going to be pretty busy today, so I’m not sure when I’ll be postin’ those sketches for you of my next portraits. Stop back again later tonight!
Finally Completed! Luke & Ella Digital Pic

It’s finally done! I am going to go to bed at a decent hour tonight, so I’ll get the sketch(es) up tomorrow of my next piece(s)!!! Oh yea, I’ll scan this one too – both of their eyes turned out amazing, and you can’t see it here in this pic. Foo! You’ll see tomorrow.

I’ve turned on my new fancy-schmancy webcam, and I’ll be finishing up Luke & Ella today if ya wanna watch!
I’ll sketch out my next piece after this one is finished, so you’ll see that one up here tonight, too.
