Merry Christmas!

....a day late :-)

Christmas was wonderful. I recieved some awesome gifts this year, including water mixable oil paints ( I can't stand the scent of turpentine and would like to avoid some of the more negative effects of the fumes) and a new puppy!

His name is Kristoff

My mother loved her present! I am definitely proud of it as I usually prefer pencil and pastels to acrylics when doing flat art. 

I hope you had just as wonderful holiday as I. Over the break I will be able to work on commissions and will also be working on some custom dolls for an English project (we get to create a box set for Shakespeare's The Tempest and I am contributing action figures).

An Owl Update

The last time you saw this owl he looked like this:

He went from that to looking like this:

And, finally, to this last Thursday:

It's almost finished! I just need to put some finishing details on and then wrap it up, because my mom asked for it as a Christmas gift!

If there is anything you would like me to write about, model horse related or anything else, just let me know in the comments!

Happy Belated Thanksgiving!

Whew! It's been a busy few weeks so Thanksgiving break has been a welcome respite. I have a few things to be thankful for too - of course my family and friends are one of them! They have always supported me and my crazy ideas. They are also very supportive of my decision to major in Art Education. That leads me to the next thing, recently I received an acceptance letter from Moore College of Art and Design, my top school.

Now on to commissions! Riptide and Freckles are in their second layers of white. Apache and Whisper are still having their colors worked on, but are in the final stages of that.

Thank you to all my loyal readers as well. Without you this blog would be nothing. :o)
