I found a great artist...
I love looking into other blogs, seeing what other artists are working on. Usually I start out checking in on Jo Castillo's blog, then click on one of the blogs she's following, and start bloghopping from there. That's how I found Holly Bedrosian. She's a very talented portrait artist, doing exceptionally detailed work in colored pencil. She is working on a beautiful self portrait right now.http://www.hollybedrosian.blogspot.com

Finally getting around to posting again.
I've been mourning the loss of our dog, Bodie. He was a very elderly gentle soul. We had to take him to his last vet appointment on December 27th. He lived into his fifteenth year, which is very hard on a dog of his size. He was still very happy to see our daughter, Jaime, and her family at Christmas. ( He chewed through a lot of her teenage shoes in his puppy years.)
I only wish our son, Jason, could have seen him one more time, too. Jason was the one who talked me into adopting him from the Humane Society. He was absolutely right, Bodie was "the coolest dog ever!"

Still working on the portrait
I feel much better today. Yesterday, my husband made a pot of 5 alarm Chili, and I think it killed whatever bug I had. Put a couple of hours into painting today. The "Avery" portrait is almost finished...I think.
I might just have to put it away before I work it to death.
I'm also working on a landscape, from a photo taken in North Carolina, but, I'm finding the trees very difficult. Think I'll watch some of Roger Bansemer's videos for a while tonight.

nothing to show
I've been a little under the weather with a cold this week, so haven't felt very artistic. Much better today though and hope to pick up the paintbrushes again tomorrow.
