Well time is flying by! I have been over seas for the last month or so hence the lack of work over Feb. I have been home for a few days and have been getting back into my work, trying to finish up a few pieces that I have had to put aside to get other pieces done.

I visited Jess quite a while ago when she was rescued by ACT Rescue and Foster. This piece is for sale and 20% will be going to ARF. If you are thinking about a new dog, please consider a lovely rescue dog! If you are in the ACT area check out ARF at http://www.fosterdogs.org/

Welcome to 2011

Well all the new year madness is over and I have finished my first portrait for the year! Hope you all had a great New Year! This portrait was done as a prize for ACT Rescue and Fosters trivia night. Check them out at http://www.fosterdogs.org/

Jess WIP

Well I have got a bit more of Jess done, I am slowly on my way to getting this complete. I have had a big weekend due to the fact that on Saturday I got engaged! I am really excited and my head is swimming with thoughts and plans. This means that I have only just gotten back to Jess tonight, but it is coming along nicely and hopefully will be finished by the weekend.

Slowly Recovering

Well over the last few days I have been pretty sick. It has just been the flu but I think it has affected my ears a bit as I spent a fair amount of time feeling sick and dizzy. I have managed to get a little bit of work done matting Starr and getting a bit of Jess's portrait done.

Starr's portrait is for sale for $125.00 with 20% going to ARF (ACT rescue and foster) if you are interested then let me know.

Disaster - Not really

You know there are times when you set out to do something and you end up with something else. This is exactly what has happened to my current piece of work. I started out with an idea but you know I just have not achieved it. I wanted it for a competition but it is just not right so instead of submitting it regardless I have decided to set it aside. I was reading an article today written by someone I consider a friend, she is a fellow artist who has some seriously fantastic talent. She said she burns anything that is no good, well I not going to burn it, but I have learnt a fair bit from it. Here is the last photo and lets not talk of it again!

Slow progress

Well the last few days I have been sick, and still am sick. I have managed to get a little work done though. just not as much as I would like.
