Time for a new painting! I've begun work on a compliment to my Fallon painting, something a little darker and more evil I'm hoping. That is if the animals cooperate and don't come out looking too cute. lol!
Here are a couple shots of the Work in progress.

*giggles*

Well I finished my first painting this year :) I'm quite happy with some parts of this. I really found the joy in painting again, so I see alot of new work coming down the line. It is really like I've found part of me that has been missing for a while now. Anyway.. blah blah blah.. here she is, along with some details.








To those people who came to the Chicagoland expo, it was wonderful to see you. :) Corbett and I could not have had more fun playing artist. :)

Here is my latest update. ALMOST DONE!
:)



Heading off to Chicago this weekend for the Chicagoland Expo, Non-Sport Card show. Anyone that lives in the area ought to come by and say hello.

I started painting on the little otter l last night. So far it's quite monochromatic, but I think it's kind of cute :) Also there is a detail of her face. Having so much fun.

Well I've been painting like a happy little fool. In spite of the fact that I seem to have misplaced all of my favorite brushes in the room of doom, I'm having the best time. :)
Here are a couple little progress shots so I can keep a record. The picture quality is my standard' early morning desktop' ^^







Back to it for me! Wheeeee!

I've set up the new painting on board, moved things around a bit, added some new stuff, and I think I've gotten to where I want to start painting now. :) I hope it will be a fun painting, it's been a long time. O.O The picture quality is not great because it is just that, a picture from my camera, rather than a scan.

There are two upcoming shows I'm going to be at, the Chicagoland Non-Sport Card Expo on the weekend of the 11th and 12th, as well as FallCon in October. I hope to see some of you there ^_^

I decided to see if I still like painting..:/ This is the start of what will be my next piece. There will be a bit more to the girl, as well as the possibility of and otter and a flying squirrel as her little companions. :) Trying to work up some new things for some upcoming shows.

*hugs to all of those I have been missing* xoxox
