She’s starting to show up now, see her in there? I’ll probably finish her up tomorrow. 🙂

I refined her eyes and nose tonight, they require the most layers of paint for three-dimensionality so I’ll let this dry tonight and while I’m working on her fur tomorrow I can enhance them more.
This pup really isn’t purple and mud, you know. This is that whole skin/bottom layer/dark shading thing I was telling you about. Gotta build from the bottom up! Tomorrow she’ll start looking more “normal”, and by the end you’ll wanna reach into your monitor and sqwish and love her to pieces! 😉

Here’s her underpainting! Pretty freaky, huh? Heh! I do have fun spooking everyone with my underpaintings. BOO. (it’s really not that scary is it?)

Whew! I’m sitting down!
As promised, here’s the second work in progress of Bailey’s portrait. ‘Auntie M’ recommended red, so red it is! 😉
Just as FYI, the holiday gift basket giveaway has ended and the winner has been contacted. If we don’t hear back within 3 days, the runner-up will get the prize! I’m hoping to be able to send out an announcement when we hear back, and then of course everyone who entered will get special pricing on custom portraits for a designated time. (After the holidays, sorry! I’m booked right now!)
I continued to “de-clutter” today, and you know when all the clutter is gone, it just looks so bare? Yea. Well I solved that problem this afternoon. LOL! Leave it to me, never an un-creative moment in my life. Here’s what I created this afternoon…
I wanted some color! It was all white back there behind those shelves. Blah. And blah is not allowed in my house. ;P~
Now I’ve got some webdesigning stuff to do tonight, so I will catch up with you tomorrow! Have a great evening!!!

I know you guys have been waiting for these! “J”, if you want the big versions just let me know, and I will drop them in e-mail to you!
I have been BUSY this morning! Got up (earrrrly), treadmilled, varnished WB&F, did dishes & cleaned the kitchen, did laundry, started uncluttering the house, paid bills, painted the background on Bailey (which I will post in a little while), scanned WB&F, pieced the scans together and now here I am!!! I still have more to do!! I’ll be back in a bit. Enjoy!

I’ve just sent the huge versions of these over to my client for her to have a close look at. I am SO pleased with how this piece turned out. Once I get a scan of it (a couple of days) I will post with the reference photos too. I worked from 5 different photos to put this piece together. What I love is that you wouldn’t know it!! I just wish I could be there when she opens it. Here are a couple of pics!!
P.S. SORRY E!!! ;P~~~
WB&F Painting on Cam, Day 8

I just turned the webcam on if you’d like to watch me paint!
I am planning on finishing this piece today, so I will be back & forth in the studio for the rest of the day and probably into the night.
See you in the studio!
WB&F WIP #7

2004
Almost done!!! Lemme see, here’s a rundown on what’s left to do: W’s necklace and any other deepening/highlighting of her hair, a smidge more detail on her right hand (across her lap). Both kitties will get their final coat of fur, whiskers, and enhancements to their eyes. I think that’s it, I’m sure I’ll tweak other things here and there.
The webcam is off now, and I’ll let you know when I’m getting ready to start finishing things up! (Probably late tomorrow or Monday morning)
