stuck

I'm stuck on Tesla. I'm so annoyed with it. I really should finish it. The portrait is mostly the tesla coil, and I'm not used to drawing stuff like that. It would help if I felt better too..

YAY!!!

I got my first portrait feedback.

"AMAZING is all I can say. Tara did a fabulous job on my custom order. Not only was the artwork spectacular, but she went above and beyond to get me my picture in only a few days. I can't wait to send her more pictures in the future!!"

I'm so happy with myself. This is what I have been wanting to do, and it's happening.

I'm also going to be doing Roller Derby again. YAYAYAYAYAYA!!!

again and again

I finished the portrait for my friend.




Now I'm working for a commissioned father's day portrait:



Finished and mailed..

stepping away again

it's hard to draw when going through emotional upheavel. I hate that spell check is such a pain in the butt on this site..

so, here I am, and I feel frustrated, so I will step away again for a few..

Bill

has been awesome the past couple of weeks. The doctor has me switching around medications, and that has me out of order at times. He has been so patient and helpful. Yesterday we went fishing and hiking. The drive knocked me out, something about the movement and my withdrawal from the meds... At any rate, I was crashed by 8:30pm. With no complaint whats so ever, he put the kids to bed. Thank goodness.

Starting a new drawing for a friend's husband:

phase I

title here

I don't like trying to think up titles for everything. It annoys me a bit.

I got a semi-commision to work on. It's an actual commision, but it is from a friend, so I don't want to take payment. I know she is going to insist on paying the full price. I know she doesn't have the money for that, so I will insisnt she doesn't. Should be fun. ;) Backwards bartering.

I got a pretty good start on it. I'm stepping away from it for the moment. I have to do that every now and then. It gives my mind a chance to take it in as it is. Melody is so sweet. She said, "wow mom, you are almost finished already." I said, "Not even close sweetheart." lol

anxious

I'm anxious in general. I am bothered because I have not heard from the woman I did the portrait for. AACK. I hope she likes it. I hope the kids look like the kids...

I sent an email out asking for her to let me know what her mom thinks of it. I don't want to bug her any more about it. geez.

confidence. is. waning... lol

Phoenix..

OH.. I finished Phoenix awhile back:
