Great article

Here is a link to an article that I thought was worth posting. It sure makes me want to work harder, be better, and become more of a WINNER!!!

Will all the whiney people, please sit down!

Some Current Work

Here is one of a few images I was hired for. Enjoy!

Hogle Zoo Competition

Well - I have had a great week! I found out that my Mongolian Monal was chosen to hang in the Hogle Zoo Art Gallery for the next 2 months! Then out of over 125 paintings it was chosen by the Utah State Art Council to go on tour for an entire year! I couldn't believe it! Not only was it chosen but when my husband and I went to the gallery opening reception it was on the very first wall where everyone could see! Believe me... I have been super happy all week!

Hogle Zoo Competition Paintings

Here are pictures of the two paintings I did for the Hogle Zoo in Salt Lake City, UT competition. One is of a Himilayan Monal and the other is of Bush Vipers. Since they had to be actual paintings I used one of my favorite techniques... packaging tape! It's so much fun!

Deer

Here is an large painting I did for a company. It is 24X48. I think that's the largest acrylic painting I have ever done. It was so much fun! I can't wait to do another! I posted some of the pictures I took during the process just for fun. I need to get some high res photos of it so that I can post better ones.
I posted this for IF - Hatch because this imaged hatched from my mind and was painted in such a short time! And if you think about it... most everything hatches at one point or another.

Liberty Safe Work

I just thought it might be nice to post some of the things I have been working on lately. I didn't actually cut out the metal but I designed the lady Liberty and prepared it to be cut. She was used to hang up next to their company name right above where people walk in. I hope to get a good picture of that soon. The other is a large tile that is inlaid between tiles in the floor as you walk in the front entrance.

Blur-IF

Ok... So, I realize that this image isn't very great... but I just got this new application for my i-touch called Layers... it is so AWESOME!!! It is awesome to watch it in progress... it happens in such a 'blur'! If you have a Touch you should get this app cause it's a great tool to doodle with.

Illustration Friday: Skinny

How do we see ourselves?

Happy Halloween!!!

Goodness... I would have had this up faster... if only there were more hours to the day!
So, some of you might be asking what this has to do with Illustration Friday's word of the week "fast". It's a "fast" acting deadly poison she be a brewin!

Just some cute Dogs!

Here are some dog images that I did for a non-profit organization to help dogs find homes. Such fun!

Peggle Runner Up!

Just thought I would share...My Pop Cap Game Entry won as a runner up in the Peggle Art Contest! I was so excited and still am. Hopefully someday they will use it in a future installment of the game! Keep your fingers crossed for me!

Unwrapped

Here is my image for Illustration Friday. I drew this a while ago and am now just getting the chance to paint it... better late than never I always say! Wouldn't you just love to open a present that had a cute little furry guy in it!?! I definitely would. My sister liked this drawing so much and she always wanted me to paint it so now I have and here it is.. Enjoy!

The Queen and the Frog

Here is just a little something I am working on right now. The paint is rough at this stage so I thought I would just post the drawing for fun!
