Almost, Almost Done

Really and truly almost done.

Really High Hopes

Finished scales.......

unfinished scales.

I had really high hopes for the three mermaids. I actually thought I would have them finished by now. Sadly the scales are a little more labor intensive than I had planned, and the paintings still have a ways to go. I wasn't even able to start on the third mermaids scales yet. The good thing is that I am having so much fun with them. Sadly they won't be ready to drop off to Molly and the girls until Monday. 

Dean is staying home this weekend so we can all go and do something as a family. I'm excited. A weekend with Dean and the girls is just what I need. We plan on hitting a few yard sales, playing outside, working on the shed (I hope) and lots of painting for me. It should be a lot of fun. Oh, before I go, you have to run on over to my bloggy friend Sharon's blog and say hello. She has made the most adorable little softie for my girls. 

DON"T FORGET!!!!!!

Only 1 more day to enter the spring giveaway!!

Progress

Hopefully I'll finish up tonight. Wish me luck!

JDRF Gala Painting Progress

So very grateful I have all but one of the paintings sketched out. What's that you say? You see an extra mermaid sketch in there? Yep it's true. As soon as all the paintings are done for JDRF I'll be adding the extra mermaid to the shop. Also hoping to add some other fun paintings too.

Worked on these little gals last night but didn't get as far as I wanted. Sleep sounded just a little too good. I was exhausted. Today however I'm ready to rock the casbah. Well I was ready to do that until I looked up all the possible meanings. Haahaa. I am however ready to bust a move on these paintings tonight. Hum? Maybe I need to get a little more sleep than I thought, I'm making wayyyy to many old skool references right now. Off to make some homemade pizza and then start the night routine. I'll post an update tomorrow on the mermaids.

Spring to Finish & JDRF Art Update

The first three paintings for the big JDRF Gala. I am also putting these three paintings toward the Spring to finish event that's going on over at Tall Grass Prairie Studios. Tonight I will be working on the three mermaid paintings. I've already sketched & prepped all the rest of the canvases. Now my goal is to finish as many as I can before Thursday. Not just for Spring to Finish, but so I can take the paintings to Molly & the girls to be packaged up for the auction. Once I'm done with all the paintings I can get started on paintings to fill the shop. Oh, that and finding a dress for the big night! Whoot! Whoot!

I have oh so many fun things to post about very soon.
