Wow! I haven't posted on here in forever! I have been so busy with family/mom stuff :) We took the kiddos to Fort Barrancas & the Aviation Museum this week. I hadn't been to the fort in ages. On to the artwork ;) ......

I finished "Air Elemental Cat" today. This is still just a crappy digital camera pix. I'm going to wait till I'm done with all of them and scan it all at once.....



Started on "Fire Elemental Cat". This is just the base colors....



Hopefully things are calming down around here and I feel like I;m getting back on track :) I have painted for 2 days in a row! Yay! I haven't done that in forever!!

Here's what I've done so far :) I am now working on the white starburst that will be in the center. The first image is the purrrty background with paper cut outs of the cats taped over the middles. The second image I did some splatter painting (so much fun!) over all four backgrounds and used the cut outs to keep the splatters from getting in those areas ....





Right now all 4 paintings are on one big 16" x 20" canvas sheet together. This way it will be easy for me to scan & offer them as one big 12" x 16" print together as well as individual 8" x 10" prints too. As for the Original I may offer it for sale as the whole big painting and also individually at the same time BUT once one of the individual paintings sell I will just sell the others on their own too & take down the whole big painting offer. I hope that makes sense LOL!

Here are all 4 very, very rough sketches of my Elemental Cats. They will each be 8x10 paintings and will all fit together as one big print with a neat kind of star burst in the middle.....









They will be really pretty when they are all done and a little different from my normal paintings. I'll post more WIPs of them as I am painting them ;)

Sorry I haven't had much to say on here. I've just been really busy with family stuff and haven't felt like writing much online.

ImagiCon!
March 27 - March 29, 2009, Birmingham, Alabama. I am unable to be there in person BUT I will have a my art available for sale in both the Art Show and Print Shop at reduced show prices!
"ImagiCon is a first year Full-scale Science Fiction and Fantasy convention premiering in Birmingham, Alabama on March 27 - 29, 2009. Building on the success of a similar one-time event in Birmingham, which attracted record numbers for a first-year event of this type, the Magic City proved itself a perfect site for a Fandom-focused convention for Sci-Fi and Fantasy enthusiasts."

LE ACEO Prints
This is just a heads up about my LE ACEO prints on eBay. Due to many reasons I am planning to remove ALL of my ACEO prints from eBay and place them either on Etsy or my own website for sale as I have time to do so. It could be a few weeks or it could be a few months before I get them relisted.. They will all be removed from eBay on April 10th. If you would like to purchase any before they are removed from eBay please click the link above.

Well I think that's it for now ;) Time to take a little break tonight!
