This was a challenge, painting all those face and so little. Sometimes it's nice to paint BIG.

This is how I feel. AAAAGHH (Addisen, of course)

Taxes AAAAAAARRGHHHHH!!

I think I have finished doing my taxes.....although I'm never sure. I always think I'm missing some fabulous deduction that would have saved me thousands(he he. Yeah, right.) Oh well, I must admit that I do a very loose bookkeeping all year and just plug away one day. Really, not so bad once you think about it. I spent the last week working on a commission for a 65th birthday present. All the grandchildren of the birthday girl skating on their pond. How nice. I must say that painting all 8 grandchildren on canvas was a real pain in my b**t. I think I shall try to paint on panel. I don't like the texture of the canvas for portraits. I even bought the superior grade of canvas. Oh well, it was picked up and they seemed to love it. I shall post a picture when my eyeballs are less tired. We are off to Edmonton early tomorrow. Drop Auntie Gwen at the airport, shop, do lunch and come home. MMM I need to be up in 5 hours! Nighty Night!

An Elegant Baby Room

I did this room to match the layette to owner bought. The room was already a neutral beige, so I glazed the "quilting" around the bottom of the room, topped with brown "stitched' flowers and accented with brown, pink, a cream "curly bits." I think it is lovely. It is beautiful for a baby, but it would be suitable for any girl, even a teenager. The client was thrilled, too.

Jaxan's Room

I spent last week in this little boy's new room. He got all the sports "guys", hockey guy, basketball guy, football guy, football tackle guy. Plus he got a sports locker painted on his closet door. Remind me to never paint closet doors again. With the wood grain and the raised panel, it was a nightmare. I finally finished. It took me about 3 days longer than I thought it would.
