I can’t wait to get a scan of this one tomorrow, the colors are so vivid. I will probably have another surprise for you tomorrow too, so make sure you check back!

I will be painting Talis today, deepening the background a smidge and finalizing their portrait. I will be in the studio probably all day finishing this one up, Talis is reeeealy got a lot of variation in his coat, so it will be fun painting today!!

You can watch me on my webcam here: Webcam page

If you’re adding me to your Messenger, please give me a few minutes to get over to the computer to add you back. 🙂

Just turned the webcam on, I will be working on Meowface tonight, spiffin her up a bit with the highlights and lowlights, a little foil, pedicure, cleaning out her ears, you know, all that fancy pet painterly kind of stuff. 😉

I’ll probably be taking a little bit of a break to chit chat with my hubby before he goes out for the day, so if I suddenly go MIA you know why.

See ya on cam!

UPDATE: 12:04AM Here’s Meowface…whiskers are last (in case you’re wondering what is off!)

Hey!

Just so ya know, I’ll be painting tonight, after 8PM CST. The underpainting is just about dry, and we’ve also got some stuff happening this afternoon that will prohibit a good uninterrupted painting session.

I’ll update tonight when I start!

I just finished the underpainting. The webcam is going down for the day, this will not be dry until mid-day tomorrow, so I’ll start detailing tomorrow afternoon on cam.

This is a huge painting. Almost as big as my Romantique Wine Glass Homecoming piece, that one is 20×20. I’m putting a few shots up here, have to show mom the beautiful deep purple sides, they look awesome against that dark green!

Hey, how ’bout that carpet?! Looks like a piece from my living room. Frieze I think is the style? Something like that. Ok on to the pics!

Two more….

Hey there! I hope you had a great Friday, you know most of us parents are going to spend the next 3 weeks going nuts entertaining our children while they’re off for “winter break”! Yes, today was the last day of school for many of our kids. Feel sorry for us, ok? Thanks. 😉

Sheba will get her varnish and scan tomorrow. So will the Sock Thief. I’ll post them both so you can have a looksee, they’ll get their own entries so you’re gonna have to scroll a whole bunch! Our friendly PHP Surgeon is in the Operating Room as I type, so the blog will have her new facelift very soon!

I’ve started my next piece, a DOOZIE! This one is an 18×18 Gallery wrapped canvas, TWO kitties KISSING! They are so sweet. Well here, I’ll just show ya their sketch ok? Ok. Meet Talis & Meowface, owners of a gal named Lisa (Just a girl). I will be painting the background on webcam tomorrow!

There was something else I wanted to say, but now I’ve forgotten.

Mark, I know you’re going to see this after I’ve gone to bed, so {{{{{huge hugs}}}}} and you know if the rooster crows enough I will wake up! Love you hugely! I’m sorry the satellite was so crappy the other night. (The man tried to get and stay online for over 2 hours before duty, and he is not the most patient man!) My sweetie pie of a hubby, just a few more weeks to go and we’ll be curled up on the couch watching CSI! XOXOXOX

Ok the rest of you, go blow your noses and check back in the morning for some photorealistic and surreallistic scans, and a webcam session update!

P.S. is it just me, or are you all singing “Strangers in the Night…” after seeing the kitties pose? :P~

Here she is! I love how she turned out. If you framed it and put it on the floor, she would probably lay in front of herself and lick the painting. LOL

It’s the proofing stage, there may or may not be changes. I’ll post the final scan when it’s ready!

Next up….CATS!!! This one is gonna be cuuuuute! Sketch ya later…

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!
