I’m going to crank up some great music, and get to adding the final layers on Sheba. Go watch! I’ll try to reposition the cam a little so you can see more of the detail work.
See ya in the studio!

My webcam is on will be on later this evening, I’ll be finishing up Sheba today!
(I had a dental appt. this morning and this tylenol is NOT workin’, I have to give in and go close my eyes for a bit.) I’ll let ya know when I turn the cam back on.
UPDATE: 8:49PM CST: The girls are tucked in, and after 3 doses of extra strength tylenol over the course of the day, pain management is starting to come along alright. LOL! I’m going to paint for a little while. 🙂

A Sock’s Secret
December

2004
Now I know I could get in big trouble over this, but it’s time someone let the cat out of the bag. I know what happens to the other sock. I’ve seen this guy before, on a late summer’s eve, but this time was different. Right out in the open for anyone to see, I saw him through the windows as I was driving past the laundromat. There he was, opening one of the dryers (the owner of the contents apparently indisposed) to snag a sock.
He saw me watching him with a look of confusion on my face, and turned toward me. I was a little frightened as he started lifting his finger up toward his mouth, I didn’t want him casting any wierd spells on me, or zapping me out the door or something. But no, he pressed his finger onto his lips, showed me the sock and simply said “SSsssSSssssshhhhh”..and as he tiptoed away I knew I had to paint this experience. I was up until 1AM with sis, mulling over every detail of the events of the evening. And here he is.
Hehe. 8×8 Oil on Canvas Panel, I’ll scan when it’s dry. Title: “Sock Thief”

So blogger decided I’m not good enough to edit my own entries. BAH. Here’s her work in progress shot! This is her underpainting, meaning I will be painting another layer on top of this one tomorrow to lighten, deepen and refine every little mark on her.

I’ve just turned on my webcam and will begin painting that “oooo skeery!” underpainting of Sheba in just a few minutes. Wanna watch? (Then clickie on the word “webcam”, or load up Yahoo Messenger and add “intricateartist” to your buddy list!)
Her updated WIP Pic will be right about….

in just a little while!
Hey I hope you’re having a great day, and I hope you have all your shopping done! I have taken my Tylenol and will be ready for my outing into the crowds later today. ;P
P.S. I have had ooooodles of issues with blogger again. Imagine that? Hm. It won’t be long before I don’t have these problems anymore, but they’re annoying all the same. If you have problems commenting or anything, that’s the deal. It’s just not connecting properly and I’m having to do back-end gook to get it to work.

I’ll be painting the background on this piece in just a few minutes. You can watch me here, or add me (intricateartist) to your Yahoo IM buddy list!
It’s not going to take too long, there’s really not much background, as I won’t be able to work on Sheba until it’s dry so I need to get it done first so that it can dry. 🙂
I’ll post a WIP shot afterward, right here in case you miss it!
::WIP pic will be here::

Sheba WIP#1 – The sketch
December

2004
This is my next dog portrait sketch of Sheba! I will start painting her tomorrow, and I’ll update when I turn the cam on.
I’m not sure exactly what time I’ll start yet, I have a a couple of things to get ready for my sister to come in town and help me with a few things for a couple of days. God bless that girl, she has been most helpful! Lucky me, I get to figure out how to play Santa by myself this year, and try to keep an 8 year old a believer to boot. Sis is going to distract her while I put my elf slippers on and sneak out the back door. 🙂
Scans: The Boy & Grandma
December

2004
Here are the final scans of “The Boy” (Cole) and my Grandma. I am planning on creating a monochromatic gallery with the new layout, and will be painting more of these in this loose and “less photorealistic” style. I have a few more pieces in mind already, and will pursue those after the holidays and template changeover.
