Being the brat that I am I decided to take the day off and spend it with my art and my hubby.  Warm enough to have lunch on the porch.  So got my 2 mile run in, been playing on my tiger, but not sure what the afternoon will bring, so before I go get cleaned up thought I would post what I have done this week.  this is pretty much the non-fun, tedious part for me, getting the hair in on the body.  I still have lots of finishing work to do on it to get the musculature in, but I am pretty happy, will get the rest of the base on on the bottom and then get to go back to the fun part on the face and finish that off.  Needed to get the rest of the body in so that I can put the coarse hairs over the top.  Am hopeful that I will get him complete this weekend.  I am ready for him to be done.  Then I am not sure if I am going to do another dog or a person, but am ready for a change up that is for sure.
Hope to have some more to show you tomorrow and Sunday.  Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend.
Some spoiled brats are going to be LAZZZZZY. 
P.S. it's warm enough to have lunch on the porch with tomorrow and Sunday looking at almost 70s.  Wow, it's going to be December people.

Magnolia Blossoms Acrylic 11"x14" “Talent is a pursued interest. Anything that you're willing to practice, you can do.”   - Bob Ross I thought this was a wonderful quote.  I don't know if it has happened to you, but people say, oh you are so talented.  Not true, couldn't be farther from the truth, although I am sure there are many artists who do possess that something extra, something special.  But for the most part for the rest of us, it is just a matter of studying,  learning your  tools and materials, practicing, and then start to trust your inner self.  I am on a journey to try to find my voice.  Not that I am a late bloomer, but I should have already found it, yes?  I guess what I am really looking for is the way I wish and want to paint.   Not necessarily how I have been doing it. I am pleased with this piece.  Many thanks to Sanne who put this wonderful reference piece up at PMP.  Personally I think Magno...

DAY 19 Noise

Image
Noise I have noticed, now that we live out of the hard core suburbia, how much we get quiet.  I mean actual quiet, no kids, no dogs, not cars, not motorcycles, no sirens, etc. etc.  How many waves, noise carrying waves, go through our bodies every day.   Phone, radio, tv, fiber optics, microwave, etc. etc.   Can that really be good for us? Anyway, I never know what I am going to get and this was a pretty quick one since I had a big time work day, for me.   But I got some really clean windows - am really ready for Fall, wish the temperature could understand how ready I really am for Fall!!. Thanks much for stopping by.

Nicolae's GF Laughing Giraffe mixed media portrait

Nicolae's Giraffe Over the years we have decided the places we like to visit and have gone back multiple times.   In this day and age I think it is uncommon that in a hotel environment the workers would have been there 10-35 years.  So friendships develop.   Each of the people we have encountered have made our stays extra special in a variety of ways.   One of the ladies that works the check in desk had a baby last year.   Since we were unable to go in November we just saw her when we were in DC.   He is now 14 months, and in love with giraffes.  She has a yellow and gray nursery decor and I wanted to do a giraffe.   Wasn't sure if it should be the "kiddie" kind, but thought he might outgrow it.   So I decided to do one semi realistic so that he wouldn't outgrow it right away.  Aren't they just the strangest looking animal? I always wish I would keep my mouth shut, because it does worry me when I say I will paint something - it ...
