tuesday...

here's an update on the 'great two paintings at once experiment'...i gave up...it was just too difficult for me to split my creativity in two...so i'm spending time working on the larger of the two paintings...thus far i have completed about 60% of the painting and i think it's really looking lovely!...

not much else to report at the moment...

back to the post...

two paintings....

today i start work on two paintings...the first, is of two dogs from england named, 'zena' and 'lucy'...the second one is of a dog named 'salsa'...mmmmmm, salsa....

anyway, i'm hoping to finish these paintings without any trouble and lately i feel as though my muse is getting run down or just not that focussed....although i've been working non-stop since mid-august (which might explain her state of mind) and more than likely will continue this pace until the middle of december...at that point i should be finished all that is currently on my schedule...

as for the pugs, they are still drying in the prep room...i'll be shipping them sometime next week with any luck and then i'll be able to post the photo of the painting here for all the world to look at...

i can feel the lovely fall days dwindling down to less warm weather days to more chilly, rainy ones...i love the fall and now will end this posting to take my tea outside to side in the hue of the huge red maple on the lawn...

a night out with my cousin...

(hey...come on, i can't always be working!)

the pug paintings...

i'm happy to write that i've finally finished the 'five pugs from puerto rico' portraits...it was a long, slow process but i'm happy with the results and hope the client feels the same...now the paintings are hanging in the studio drying...then i varnish them, photograph them, ship them and wait for the client to respond before i will post the photo of the finished product here...

tomorrow will be a bit of a break before i start work on a new portrait...

heading off to the bath with a glass of wine...it's what call a 'reward'...

tuesday...
