Cold Wax Update

I added more color to the background the other day...then last night i finally decided what my painting's subject was going to be when i saw an egret at the reservoir...
i have always associated egrets with calm and peaceful

so i was again finally able to work on the painting some tonight...i have the egret begun...

there is a lot more to do to just the painted portion but i need to add some more texture to the overall piece and i needed to know where the bird was going to sit...
i just happened to have some green in the piece...hmmm was that a subconscious plan...muuuaaaawwaaaaaa hahahaaa
probably not

so stay tuned for the next phase of the project

PLUS

tahdah...soon will be the launching of my new website!!!!!

i could not do the site myself...i tried
i totally do not speak web design...and it was beyond frustrating for me
so
admiring a fellow artisan who does web design as well
Christy Sobolewski at www.gulfspite.com
she has all the features within her site i was desiring...so...i asked would she design me a site
and i am SOOO excited ...she would!

I will have my classroom and all my information in one place!
which i think is awesome
plus
i don't have to wonder if the site i join and begin to have host my classes is going to change or die...
so
soon will be the unveiling of my beautifully designed site...

thank you for coming by have a great weekend!

I stopped by earlier this morning to tell you what a fantastic job you are doing on this piece, then got caught up in Christy's blog (which BTW needs a "r" added in the link) and failed to come back. Anyway, I love that egret and way you used the piece of green to anchor the feet.
