paintings and photos

I am amazed. It's actually cloudy today.. I think it may have even rained a tiny bit..
the area of cali we live in right now has gigantic dry spells.. its a rare thing when it's cloudy out. I really don't like constant sunshine.. seriously, 5 months in a row, every single day hot and sunny.. not fun. I'm going to be so happy when we move up to Oregon.. I love it up there..

here's a photo I snapped out the back door.. don't have a fence yet, but we will install one once we know when we'll be able to get a puppydog.



Here's a photo of Joe's flight suit I took yesterday while we were outside studying.. I love his call name.. *giggle*
by the way, in case anyone's curious, Joe's in the space section of the a.f. ..*super-basically* he makes sure that we don't get hit by things and that stuff doesn't collide in space That's all I can really tell you without getting in trouble.. secret stuff ya'know.




AND NOW!!!
on to art stuffs..

I don't know who this doggy is, just a picture I found on a google search several months ago..

did this for practice this morning

.. took me about an hour alltogether.. experimenting with sketching..
drawn and painted in photoshop cs w/ wacom tablet, as usual



not doing much today so far.. Joe did pretty well on his cdc's, and I sat and read dog training books at the library while waiting for him..

here's a few more paintings from this month..
this one I just finished up yesterday, was a commission.. for Alli713



here's it's partner. sorry for the extreme watermarking. it was at the request of the commissioner. for Alli713

alex'ndria's cat


a shelter doggy..
My dog Chuckie, for my mom.. she didn't like it though.. said he didn't look like chuckie.

I spent over 12 hours solid working on all of the little curls, so I myself am happy with it..



And last, my best friends kitty, who passed away due to liver failure..

Hey! that's my super white dog, Casper, a little lower on the the youtube video! He's the best.

I can see you're going to get sucked in to the cardigan addiction!

Nice art! We may have to chat about some of your work for my website!

Hey guppy! I sent you a message on youtube (i'm kjsbrk there) becuase I don't know if this will go through, or what. I don't quite know how this blog's system works yet.

*hugs* thanks a ton, Traci! glad to be a part of the cardi world.. well, almomst. *crosses fingers*

I'm glad you like my art, too! :D

I liked pemmies at first, but I didn't know cardi's even existed for the longest time..
They're most certainly my favorite though. I love their personalities.. and ya know, it doesn't hurt that they're absolutley gorgeous animals.. ;)
