    WB&F Painting on Cam!

    November
    27
    2004

    This is day 7, my webcam is on, and I will be getting a LOT done today. I did fiddle with my cam a little bit and have it (hopefully) properly embedded within my website now, you can click on Miss Cam (the funky webcam/eye smiley to your left) and/or go to intricateart.com/webcam to view.

    You can also log on to your Yahoo Messenger and watch me there, my cam ID is “intricateartist”. 😀

    UPDATE 9:30AM I’ll be away from my cam for about 1/2 hour while I change out the bulbs in the studio! I’ll leave my cam on.

    Please let me know if it’s not working for you!

    Go on, watch me paint!

  • What day is it?!

    November

    2004

    Did you ever have one of those days? It’s 3 in the afternoon, you walk over to your computer, sit down and realize that the day is almost over, and you wonder what you’ve been doing that’s taken this long?

    I’ve been tending to my wounds today, which I didn’t think would take as long as it did. 😛 I’ve been trying to potty-train my 10-year-old little 3-year-old who has decided that she would rather pee on the kitchen floor and hide under the dining room table. I’ve been painting B&F in my head so that when I sit down to paint tonight I will be able to get far enough along to finish this painting by the beginning of the week. I’ve talked to Mark for a little while, I’ve drooled as I thumbed through my new Coldwater Creek catalog, I’ve pondered the meaning of life & counted my blessings, and I’ve taken some macro shots of the beautiful bouquet of flowers that were delivered just shortly after I arrived home from the hospital Tuesday. Boy they are beautiful, and aromatic to boot! Here’s your eye candy for the day:

    Stargazer Lilies are my favorite. I could bathe in their aroma, I truly could.

    I will be hanging out with Jay for the afternoon, and once I get her tucked in tonight I will update and turn the webcam on. I plan to paint from about 8:30PM CST until about Midnight.

    See you in a bit!

    I worked on W’s arms today, and still need to highlight & shadow more. I also finished up B&F’s eyes and started to map out the highlights on their faces. There’s a night-time flourescent glow that I partially removed, and will try to get a better pic on Friday in daylight.

    Tomorrow is Thanksgiving!! Happy Turkey day, everyone! Eat well, enjoy your family and count your blessings!

    W is coming along very nicely, the shape of her face, her eye color, teeth, everything – I am very pleased. (You like, J?) It’s like I had painted this piece so much in my head that it’s painting itself now! I am on about my 3rd layer on her face and neck skintones, and have probably one more, just enhancements to what is already here. Her forehead and brow area are far enough along that I roughed in her bangs, deepened her hairline and started working on her hair a bit.

    Her shirt is “finished” right now. I do not anticipate having to make any revisions to it, it’s a beautiful warm chocolate color and the highlights of the fabric turned out beautifully.

    Her arms look pretty pale against the rest of her now, huh? I will work on her arms next, after her shirt dries (probably Wednesday), and once she is complete I will work on the cats (the whole background/foreground layer thing). Anyhoo, this will be my last work in progress until Wednesday I’m guessing, and I’ll stop in tomorrow morning and update before I head to the hopsipsal! (yes, that’s how the girls say it!)

    Have a great night!!

    My webcam is on! (click here) Right-click zoom to 200% then back to 100% for full view. Yahoo Messenger ID: “intricateartist” 😉

    I will continue working on W’s skintones, and will probably move around to whatever I am inspired to work on.

    I just created a webpage about my surgery, so those of you who know what’s going on (or those who don’t and are curious!) and want access, the files are password protected so drop me an e-mail for more info!

    Going to get ready to paint, it’s going to be a productive and painterly day!

  • Wile E. Coyote

    November

    2004

    A few months ago, at Mark’s request, I created a stencil of Wile E. Coyote for the guys to use on their equipment etc. as that is their call sign. Apparently, the stencil is reallly popular over there, Mark says they’ve painted it on refrigerators, machinery, all kinds of things. It sounds like it’s become a “this is ours, hands off” symbol. LOL

    So he’s been saying for months that he’d get me some photos of it, and here ya go. I’m just going to link them here:

    Wile E. Coyote Humvee1
    Wile E. Coyote Humvee2
    Wile E. Coyote Bradley

    Pretty neat to see it all over their stuff! Even though the character isn’t my creation, I searched everywhere for a stencil to purchase and couldn’t find one. Sorry Warner Brothers, the guys want a coyote, they get a coyote! (P.S. I’ve not made any profit from the creation or personal use of this piece.) LOL.. just covering my artistic butt there. ;P

    It’s a clear day, I took another digital pic of W and modified the last WIP entry. I’ll paint today, the girls should be ok. (I hope!) I’ll update when I turn the cam on!

    I worked on W’s facial features, as you can see from the pics below! Ok yes the pics are horrible when I take them at night, I have to adjust them just so they aren’t yellow and then they get grainy. Imagine that. Plllbt! Ah well you get the idea. I put a closeup pic of her face side by side with the last WIP shot. She’s coming along nicely!

    I’ll get daylight pics one of these days, if I finish painting by 3PM (when it gets dark, phooey winter junk)… seriously I’m going to have to, or you all will think my paintings really look like this. ;P
