You can see how I wrapped the flag so that it covers all three portraits!
Here are the completed flag backgrounds on Ten & Tori:

I hope my client loves the flag background as much as I do! Man this is cool to paint and give it that flag-wavin’ dimension. 🙂

Yeah! I remembered all of their names without lookin’!
I’ve enhanced the red stripes on the flag backgrounds of Ten, Tori & Emily. I’ll work on the white after the red is dry; sometimes it can take 2 days for red (aliz crimson) to dry.
Here are the backgrounds on all five of their paintings. Callie is the only one I may change, I’m not sure I like her bed color against the teal, but it didn’t photograph very well tonight for you to see what I mean.
Here’s Callie:

The webcam is on (link in the left menu), I’ll be painting on and off for the rest of the day.
Oh yea, today is Saturday. My server is going to be down later tonight – after 10PM I think for an hour or two. Just a lil heads-up.

Yea! I just turned the webcam on, and will be painting in a couple minutes!
I recorded myself playing one of the two little ditties I know how to play on our piano, so here’s your intermission music. (Caution: volume may have gone amuck!)

I was going to split this all up into separate entries, but no. Nut-uh. Ok ready? Eye candies galore!!
First, the remodeling:
The tub surround is up, sealed and drying. All of the fixtures are back on permanently, shower curtain up and ready to go! To do: mud the rest of the room, sand, prime, paint, install mirror, install cabinet above the toilet, install ceiling trim.
Next, the sketches!
The first three I’ve laid out to go together. They are all 6×6 on gallery wrapped canvases, all of them are black cats.
The next two are 8×10 cats on gallery wrapped canvases:
The next one is an 8×8 on canvas panel, a remake on PossyII, this is PossyIII:
And there you have your eye candy for today! If I’m not completely beat, I’ll paint later on tonight. I’d like to get some mudding done so it can dry overnight.
I’ll let you know when I’m paintin’!

Good morning!
Sorry I missed you all yesterday! We chatted with Mark for a few hours yesterday morning, and then I dove back into the bathroom. Here I was, thinking I was definitely going to get a shower lastnight, but noooOOooOOOoo, the adhesive has to set up for 24 hours! The bathroom makeover gods do. not. like. me. one. bit.
I am, however, nearing the finish line in there. I’m going to let that set up today, and caulk inbetween sketching my next 6 commissions!!
THAT’S RIGHT! I’m going to be ARTFUL today! Can you believe it?! How long has it been?? Yes, I agree. Far too long. Here’s what you’ll be seeing in the form of eye candy later today:

YES I will get them all sketched out today! It may take til later this afternoon, but I will get them done and be ready to rock on my next several paintings!
BTW, If you’re reading this (and I know both of you are, heh!) I need images for #8 and #9!
I’ll be back!
