working it

yay it's my friday! the week always goes so fast, i love it! hope you all have something fun planned for this weekend! the mister and have a lot planned so we are gonna try to squeeze it all in, thrifting, a trip to the watering hole and fixing up white lighting, EEK!!!!!

today i wanted to share a couple of animal portraits that i am working on...


first up is mr. stumpleton...i changed the colors from my rough sketch as i thought they were a little harsh, so i softened them up a bit.... i just love how he came out!


this is the latest one...mr. beaumont! he was actually the first little sketch that i designed and i am just getting to painting him! he turned out super cute too and i just LOVE his grandpa elbow pads!

i figured once i am done with the other two i have planned i would do all the frames at once to make it easier on myself. i will show you more as i complete them! a bunny and a koala are next!! you can see the other ones in my shop here.

tonight is the swapaholics, i am so giddy with excitement! let me know if any of you will be there and please say hi!!

tomorrow is another citybirds chirp, can't wait to share, it is freakin' hilarious! remember if you want to be a part of citybirds chirp email me!!
