Sneak Peak

Here's a sneak peak at my new watercolour painting... I was hoping to get him done by today, but I am falling behind a little. He'll be definetely done by tomorrow though... suppose to have sunny skies so there will be plenty of light to finish him by.

Busy Week

It's been a busy week with lots of projects on the go. I started two new postcard paintings this past week and I'm hoping to finish both tomorrow (if not, I'll still post what I have gotten done). I've also been working on some big updates and recoding of my online gallery and I'm hoping that that will be done in the next week or so. I'm making it more streamlined and using lots of CSS to clean up the code. It's taking a bit longer than anticipated, but looking really good! The picture below is a little sample of a webpage to come.




The other thing that is keeping me pretty busy these days is that I have a part-time job at a store in the local market. Its lots of fun and keeping me out of trouble. Painting is going a little bit slower, but I still am hoping to keep on the one painting a week on this blog.

So, I'm going to get some sleep and finish up those paintings first thing in the morning. Can't wait to show you!

This is my first painting in my "Painting a Week" challenge. My goal is to complete one full painting a week to be posted on this blog. The paintings will be in either watercolour or in acrylic paints on watercolour paper.
