A New Family Member And Of Course, More Art Stuff

Good morning and Happy Monday!........

  I know that I have been a little MIA but I am still around, Iv'e just been really busy.

  First off......I would like to introduce the newest member of our family. This is Scout, my new grand dog.  He is a seven month old, PomChi and is just as sweet and cute as can be. Congrats to my daughter as she has wanted a tiny dog for a while now and boy, is this guy tiny! I don't even think he is two pounds and he is full grown. I had the opportunity to dog sit him last night and he was so well behaved, even though he was a bit overwhelmed by all the newness of his environment and he got along famously with Sadie, the cat and the chickens. Welcome to the family Scout.

Moving on to "art" news.........My new website is up and running! I still have some work to do so there will still be some additions and some changes along the way but at least it is published and visible now. My current pricing and policies for commissions is also posted there and as of right now, I am available for commissions. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me anytime. Please make sure to check it out and subscribe so you can get news of new posts. here is the link...........PencilsNPaint

I did start a new portrait drawing last night and managed to get the rough sketch done. Since I recently did this drawing of Lucille Ball...........

I decided that I would go ahead and draw her co-star, William Frawley. I see a lot of drawings of her and Desi but I haven't seen any of Fred Mertz, Williams character on I Love Lucy. I will be working on him today. I may still draw Desi and of course Vivian Vance, (Ethel), but since I work rather spontaneously, I never know exactly what I am going to do from one moment to the next. Here is the rough sketch so far.......

And speaking of what I would like to do.............. I have been thinking, (which can be dangerous), about doing a series. Gave it a lot of thought in fact and I think I will do a series of graphite drawings as well as colored pencil drawings of animals that are indigenous to Texas. In fact, I think I will start that today as well. There are a lot of creatures to choose from. Starting with critters from the gulf of Texas all the way up to the Oklahoma border north, New Mexico on the west and Louisiana on the east. That's a lot of ground to cover.

I better go get a move on.......I have lots to do......First it's breakfast time! catch y'all later.
