one thing

blotchy

 

Had a great Christmas, and my sister is here, so we are not doing to much,

I am done with shopping for awhile.  So we are just chilling, and I am

slowly sorting out some cupboards in my art room.  I called this one

blotchy because she is blotchy, from paint on the other side of the page.Its

just my art journal, I have been working in, and just a few more

pages and its all done.  I can only work on one book at a time.

I have been sketching a lot, so I am going to try and paint a few things maybe tonight.

Back to Business

 

I hope you enjoyed my 25 daze of Christmas, I had fun doing it.  But am glad it's over and its back to business.  Today in Canada its Boxing Day, its like Black Friday in the States, but  the deals are not quite that good.  Today my sister is arriving to visit me, for about a week, I haven't seen her in a few years, we talk on the phone every day,

but she is all I have left of my family, so its nice to get together.  As you can see

I have been experimenting with watercolor, the results are not what I want, and the

hair looks like she has been wearing a helmet, but practice only makes you better,

right.  Ok I am going to get ready to go to the airport, talk to you all soon.
