Micah
'Pepe' (Finished portrait above, photo below)
Yes, I'm back. My family crisis is almost over with and my sanity is starting to return. It was a stressful holiday season and I'm glad it is over!
This is the first week of school and things have been busy. I am getting use to my new schedule. I go to class every morning except on Friday. I am taking Education Technology and English Literature and I already have homework. One of the assignments in Education Technology is to start a blog. So I thought I better end my leave of absence and get back to blogging. I am hoping I can use this blogsite for the class assignment.
Because of my stressful family crisis, I didn't really do any art work over the holidays. Then last week, I finally felt like picking up my colored pencils and working again. I finished my portrait commission of the late, great 'Pepe' the Chihuahua dog. I have posted it here along with the photo.
Last week I also started a portrait of my mother-in-law's dog, Micah. He is a border collie with a great personality. He exhausts everyone with his endless energy and he is very smart. I took several photos of him over the holidays. They turned out so good that I decided to do a portrait of him. And since my mother-in-law's hobby is quilting, I am going to paint one of her quilts into the background of the portrait. I have finished Micah's portrait, now I just have to put in the quilt pattern that I want to use in the background. Even though the quilt pattern part is not done, I am posting a photo of this portrait. I love how this portrait has turned out so far. I am considering doing a series of animal portraits (maybe 3 or 4) with my mother-in-law's quilts in the background.
