Tribute page to Pookie Bear

...... Well I think that is more than enough for one update! That's what I get for not touching my website for nearly 2 months! Hopefully today I can finish up some paperwork, printing, packaging and e-mails and be able to start on a new painting tomorrow. Something darker this time for sure :) I've painted enough foo foo fairy cats with rainbows and flowers for now ;) Hehe!

Seasonal Fairy Cats

Finally all finished! Talk about working till the last minute! :P I will be putting the two new ones up for sale soon and prints too! I will also be making a big 12" x 16" print with all 4 cats on it together. Here they are, "Winter Snowflake Fairy Cat", "Spring Showers Fairy Cat", "Summer Sunshine Fairy Cat" & "Autumn Winds Fairy Cat".






It's so nice to see them all together like this :) I ended up reformatting my Snowflake cat in PSP to make it tall to fit with the other paintings. I think it came out really well. I actually used my wacom to fix most of it. So I guess my wacom is good for something LOL!

So much to do! I am behind with everything since I was trying to make this deadline for the book. Hopefully I'll get everything all caught up over this next week *fingers crossed* I am just soooooo glad to have these 4 painting all done. Everyone's painting that I've seen look so great! This is going to be such a beautiful book :)

Koi Pond Adirondack Chair, Next a self portrait

Here's what I've been working on the past week. I painted this for my Father inlaw for his birthday present. I think it came out pretty good :) He has one more chair that i will be painting to match with a white/orange/black koi on it.







Next I'm drawing a self portrait for the FAE Fantasy Self Portraits Art Show. I'm going to draw my picture of me holding Pookie Bear that is on my lj profile page, without the shadows of course.

Bast Painting WIP/Painting Process Pixs # 1-6

I am basing my new Bast painting on the actual Temple of Bastet at Bubastis :) It's not exactly as the description but close and the temple will be in red granite just like it originally was.

I decided to make this a new WIP/Painting Process page for my website. The two I have now are pretty old. So I have been taking pixs of my new bast painting as I've been working on it. Sorry they aren't nice scanned pixs but it's a 16" x 20" and it would be impossible for me to scan it that many times ;) I will be adding the descriptions to each picture later for my site but for now here are the pixs so far starting with the cleaned up version of my sketch....



Reverse side of sketch, Traced the important lines for transferring to canvas


Transferred to canvas


Painting the sky, Blocked in the sand


Detailed the sand


Palm trees, grass and Papyrus plants


I think it looks good so far :) It's going pretty quick too. Well the sketch took a week but I just started painting it last night. I hope you all like it!
