Back to Dreams

Now that my pile of deadlines are behind me, I can devote myself to finishing Dreams of Flight! I'm looking forward to the next project already and I'm eager to start, but I've promised myself to complete this one first.

I'm also going to work on a new stack of postcards and will be making my first tutorial to share with all of you. So many things to look forward to - I love it.

It's finally starting to come together

I'm nearly there now, its all just down to the glazing. This phase is frustratingly slow, because I make such subtle changes and they need a good long time to dry before I can work over them again.

This painting has been a real challenge for me, and I will be so glad when its done! I really think its just around the corner.

Getting closer

I am getting a lot closer to being finished with this painting. The face has really given me all kinds of trouble and I expect it still will, but I'm feeling a lot better about the direction its heading.

I'm disappointed about not having it done in time for this months Nibblefest, but it was a worthy goal and I feel good about this piece as a whole.

I won't have much time to paint this weekend. My mom is coming over tomorrow to watch the Academy Awards with us and I want to cook something special for the event. So today is consumed with meal planning, shopping and deep cleaning the house. Not as much fun as arting, but like a completed piece, should feel great once its over!

Race to the finish

I'm working furiously to finish this painting in time for the next nibblefest tomorrow. I'm getting close to being done, but have a few hitches that keep me working and reworking parts of it.

Gah! Keep your fingers crossed.
