Its coming together....

Time for an update on the painting I posted last time. Its coming along quite nicely and most of the animals are now in the painting. I still have to put 1 chicken in but have to wait until the animals behind it are complete. I'm quite happy with how the donkey is coming along especially. Sunday I will be making a trip to an auction and will be picking up more Titanium white paint so that I can complete the horse and donkey and move forward. I had a "backup" tube of paint but it turns out it was too old and was more like clay, so rather than compromise the painting I am waiting to buy paint on my way through to the auction.



That's all for this post, have to keep it short today cause I have errands to run and have to finish making crates for the auction.....

Where'd it go?

You may have noticed a bit of a disappearing act concerning my website. Fear not, it will return! What happened is that I missed the deadline to renew my server subscription and opted to wait to renew until their next billing period. After that I had to reboot my website....well their site wasn't functioning that day so I let it be and decided to try again another day. By the time I remembered they had deleted all of my backup files off their servers even though I had renewed my subscription. So what does this all mean? Simply that I will be getting the website uploaded as soon as I find the disks I kept all my files on.


What else is new? Aside from being very busy at my night job I've been working (when time permits) on a commission for a farm down in Kentucky. It will be used as a farm logo for them when completed. Here's a photo of it in progress, albeit not an up-to-date one:




Time to get back to painting, so I will leave you with some new pics of a few of the birds here on the farm.







Oh! one last thing. Be sure to check back for updates as soon (very soon) I will be posting an article about a new shop here in town. Its something I think artists, crafters, diy-ers, and farmers will all enjoy.
