Perhaps I should stop thinking about it....
Mood:  d'oh

Hmm, I think I'm going to give myself an ulcer ... exactly one week left until those darn Regionals. At least this week is a short, holiday week, though I do find that the short weeks really seem to drag by. It doesn't make since, since no one added an extra day - it's just the way it goes. And yuk, it's raining. I was hoping that I would be able to take the little one out in the field and set-up some sequences. Maybe if I just have a talk with her all will be ok.

I'm beginning a new project - a giant flower. Well, three flowers to be precise ... three giant poppies. A commission from mother-in-law for their new fancy dining room. Flowers are not my forte, but I'm giving it a go - should be an interesting piece.

Two new acrylic pieces have been added to the site (see below), as well as the NEW People Portrait section. Please stay tuned for updates about this section.

I am extremely please with these two pieces. The portrait of Mack had been sitting around for a while, unfinished because I couldn't get it right - nothing was working. I was just about to throw it in the trash when I decided to give it one more go, and boy am I glad I did. I really like the style and pop-art feel of this piece - it really "explodes" from the page, and has great visual texture.

The Loon portrait also came out great, the movement worked well, and I so enjoy using black (was always told not to - have no idea why) and think it tied in nicely with the body of the bird and the water.
