Busy Busy!

First, I've been doing tiny 3" x 3" paintings, for sale over here for $10/each. The first round has already sold out, but not to worry, I have plenty more tiny canvases! Plus I have some bugs already started!




Additionally I have more regular-sized canvases primed and ready to go for more fossil paintings! And after a trip to Alki Beach, I also have some great reference material.




Tonight I've been working on updating my web gallery with my most recent work. Someday I will be able to pay someone to do that for me. *sigh*

Updates

I'll be posting more soon! Both the crab fossil and the birch comission are complete. Next I'm starting on another fossil painting.
