Eye sketch.

Here's one of many recent paint sketches I've done:

eye (m.b.), oil on panel, 2010, 8"x8"

Christmas commission.

Hey! I've been busy painting and such - one thing I was working on before the Christmas holiday was a commissioned painting of a sweet little dog - here it is:

Millie, oil on panel, 14"x11", 2010

More soon!

New year's elf.

Spent the first part of the new year with our cousin, hat-building. Here are the results:



2011.

Yeeesh, that sounds like a science fiction movie: 2011. Or a zombie movie where the undead roam desolate, urban streets in a quest for braaaaaains. Instead, it is merely our future, as of tomorrow: 2011! Let's embrace it, shall we?

Well, Libby is not quite on board with that...

But I, dear reader, wish you all the best in 2011 and hope you have a lovely and safe new year's celebration... I'll be posting some more on my recent painting activity in the new year! (Finally! Jeeez.)



HueyArt.

Still feeling inarticulate regarding the passing of our little buddy Huey... so allow me to speak through images instead, namely the various paintings I've done which were inspired by Huey's cuteness:

I did the following pencil sketches on Saturday 11/27/10, our last day with Huey:



The one's a ballpoint pen sketch of his cute widdle feet:



Huey: beloved pet, devoted friend, excellent art model.

Huey.

I'm completely at a loss as to how to adequately eulogize our phenomenal cat Huey who passed away today. Maybe in the next couple of days I'll post something, but in the meantime I'll steal the words of my husband (Huey's "cat dad") in posting this:

Obituary:

On Sunday, November 28th, and approximately 1:15 pm, Huey, our beloved cat, passed away as a result of chronic kidney failure. He was our sweet little boy, and we will miss him dearly. If there ever was an instance of innocence and tenderness incarnate, he was it. A creampuff of an angel. Good-bye, my sweet boy. Words will never express how much we love you, and how much we will miss you.
