Some random photos for you

Looking for a puppy :)

Well, There is only about two months left of Tax Season (Only... two months is a long time) Anyways, I have decided I really am getting a dog after Tax Season. I found this breed, Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, and I'm totally in love with it. Anyways, The reason for the boring, I want a dog speech is I am having trouble finding one, in my price range that is. So if any body sees one for under $400.00 please let me know. Aren't they so precious??????? :) Don't you want me to have one???? :) The pictures I posted are the colors I am interested in.

This Semester I am in a digital painting class and so far I am really liking it. the following is my first full on digital painting. The process is much like normal painting but a lot less messy. I started with a blank canvas (page) toned it. then drew the image and made my own brushes and colors in photoshop and painted. We had a critique with a pretty well known digital illustrator and that didn't go to well. I said, "Dont show this to anyone that matters or you'll never get a job". well, phoey on him. :)

Just for Annette

Well, I havent written a blog for a while so this might be a little rusty and a little boring. I was going through some photos and thought I actually have some cute kid pictures. yes, I'm a little cheesy but they are mostly my adorable cousins. They are from a couple of years but all around the fourth of July.

the show

Wow, so I have been very very busy!! With tax season and taking all advanced art classes (advanced meaning more work than is humanly possible JK) so with that I have been slacking on the blog. I will have some work featured in the Braithwaite Fine Arts gallery and I have decided to do the following prints rather than my series of paintings. I figured I am more emotionally connected to these. Wish me luck and wish me good frame hunting!!!

Thanksgiving Break (Portland)

Well, it was a great week spent in Portland. The drive was long and I almost need a vacation from my vacation but that's usually how it goes. These are just some pictures I took of Tom and I on top of a hill near Dolores and Earl's house. I will post more pictures from the wedding shower which was fabulous and we were ever so spoiled.

More pictures to come I just couldn't get them to upload today. Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!!
