Work in Progress I

Lots more to do, but I'm happy so far. Still needs some work on the background but I think I know where I'm going with it........I just need the paint to cooperate ;=)

Back In The Saddle

Okay.........it's been ages since I've posted...babies have been born, buildings have been built..yada,yada,yada..

Anyhooo this is my latest project...it's a drawing of a fairy..don't cha know. I am really enjoying this subject matter.  I love fantasy art and there are so many that do it better than I...but like I said, I'm having fun. A few seem to sell along the way which is always a good thing. I've done a few commission pieces since my last post, so it's not like I've totally deserted my paint brush.

I think I might keep this one going on my blog as a WIP...we'll see.

I've been keeping up with everyone else's work that I follow on line, and I must say some lovely work is going on.

Christmas was great....got both my boys cell phones. You should have seen the "look of stupid" on their faces when their Dad and I had the phones ring under the tree while they were still wrapped! Priceless!!!

Hubby takes off to Barbados on New Years day to see his family for a couple of weeks. It won't be that great a visit as he will be seeing his nephew for probably the last time. His nephew was diagnosed with ALS a year and a half ago....so sad. He is in good spirits though and seeing his fav Uncle will be good medicine. 

So...I went back to work at my parttime job today...it's in retail...at a very well known Canadian department store....and let me just say, the "good will shine" has officially come off the holidays!!!! Fiesty shoppers out there people ...needing some drugs or alcohol or both!!!

I'll sign off on this post and hopefully get another pic up with this piece of art further along...and remember shoppers....there is no death in retail...at least not yet!!! ;=)

Fairy Sketch

Thought I'd throw this sketch up...not sure where I'm going with it..we'll see.

I started a few projects but then with my usual brilliance...sliced my finger open with an exacto knife while I was packaging some art to send off...I wonder if they'll notice the blood on the package - maybe they'll assume I truly suffer for my art (and....no I didn't really send it with blood on it). I did go to the doc and I remember telling her I'd rather give birth to a third child right there and then, than have her poke at it....hurt like a b#tch!!

So finger is healing nicely and I'm back in the saddle again...drawing and painting. It's worth a mention that I had to keep the cut dry...sooooo, no dish washing for me - much to my sons horror!!

Now don't leave me a bunch of pity comments about my booboo...I have survived and milked this puppy for all it's worth...did I mention the tetanus shot??????

Moving on......maybe I'll post this one when it's done and.......maybe I won't.

Latest Fairy Commission

Well, this one is finally finished...took awhile. It's a commission piece for a friends hairdresser...hope she likes it.

More Horses For Courses

More horse racing art.

Italy

I've always wanted to go to Italy.....who doesn't, right?? My girlfriend moved there years ago. She use to holiday there every summer and one time she met an Italian fireman (talk about your combinations..double whammy!!).

 We facebook all the time and she's having a great life.....She invites me to go visit her all the time, but the closest I've come is drawing it( I did this one a while ago).  You know how it is...family, work, life....maybe one day I'll get there........

Happy Easter.

Wishing everyone a Happy Easter.

I hope the Easter Bunny (fairy) hops your way.
