I’m back at my easel after a long dry spell. This is Sassy one of my sweet furry grandchildren. I am in the process of re-painting her check area as you can see in the photo. There just was something not quite right with the area and after several attempts to “fix” it, I finally…
Here is part 4 of my little grand-doggie Sassy! I think she is looking fabulous…obviously I still have some work to do, but I think I have captured her sweet expression and those beautiful bright eyes. I’ve captured all the “highs” and “lows” of the bone structure now just need to soften the blends a…
Have not had a lot of time to spend at my easel, but here is what I accomplished yesterday. I’m pretty happy with the placement of my shadows and highlights, now it is just a matter of getting everything to blend smoothly together. I…

The bench is finished…..well, almost. The blue tape is holding the corners while the glue continues to dry. I will also be making a nice cushion and a few more pillows for the seating area. I’m so proud of the job that hubby and I did on this project. We really took our time and…
Normally I would be sharing whatever is on my easel with you all today…..BUT, sadly my easel is empty at the moment. I have been busy helping my son paint his living room and kitchen and thank goodness that is done. My hubby and I have now turned our attentions to another home dec project….this…
I finished my little chipmunk painting and I’m quite proud of this little guy. I’ll be making both prints, cards, and the original available soon. If you have any questions about my technique, please feel free to leave them in the comments section.
