About Me

My photo
A little about me...I am a self taught color pencil artist who specializes in animals and kids. I work from your favorite photos and I love trying to make my artwork as close to the real photo as much as possible.

Hello!

I have been so incredibly busy working on pictures, actually that is an understatement!  Though I am finally seeing progress and expect to get a lot done with in the next couple of days.  I will be posting pictures shortly once they are completed.   Thank you everyone for the opportunity you have given me!

Congratulations!

As mentioned in a prior post,  I was asked to sponsor for a drawing for My Precious Kids LLC on Facebook.  I never, ever, thought I would get the response that I did!!  I sponsored a $50 gift certificate to go towards one of my drawings.  In just a few short days, I went from 78 fans to 429.  Isn't that absolutely crazy??  I even got compliments in french!  Which, I am sorry, is pretty darn cool!  This experience has been completely wonderful! 

 And the WINNER is....  Erica Raposa!!!   Congratulations Erica, I am so excited to work with you!  :o)

Well back to drawing, I have 7 drawings to do before Christmas, so I must get busy!

Oh Wow!!!

The last several days have been absolutely amazing!  I am officially booked through Christmas.  I will be happy to take orders, I just can not guarentee  them completed before Christmas.   As it is right now, I have a picture scheduled to be worked on every week, including Christmas week itself.  Its going to be a very busy and exciting holiday season!  If you are interested in having a picture done, please email me.   I will get them done as fast as I can!

I wanted to thank a friend and a wonderful photographer by the name of Ashlee Murphy.  She owns Number 41 Photography based in Emmett, ID. Check out her website at http://number41photography.blogspot.com/  She recommended me to sponser a give away on Facebook for My Precious Kid LLC and the response has been overwhelming!  Everyone has been so sweet and its exciting to know that so many people have seen my work and like it.  I know that sounds silly.  But its one thing to draw for family and friends and get a nice compliment.  Its WAY different to hear it from people you have never met!

Thanks again to everyone for the support!

Such a great day!


     Thank you for checking out my blog and my artwork!  This has been so much fun and exciting getting everything figured out and set up!   Very much a learning experience and there is still a lot for me to figure out.  But I am getting there!  Friends and family have been very helpful with ideas and I appreciate their support more than words can say! 
I have added some new features to my blog that I hope will be helpful.    I have added a Paypal button located at the top left to assist with orders. Hopefully that will make things so much easier for everyone.  I have also added a tab for pricing and details.   Please feel free to email me if you have any questions or even suggestions.   This is still very new to me and I am learning as I go.  :o)    I have also joined the CPSA today, which has been a goal of mine for several years now.  I just didn't feel I had enough experience til now to even consider it.   I am so excited to have a chance to learn some new techniques and build my skills up even more.  I am self taught and never knew anyone that I could learn from so I am hoping this will open up a whole new world of opportunities!  I even have a snazzy logo to attach to show I am a member now!

                                                 
                                  Pretty huh?!!  :o)

Well I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend!   Please check back and I will keep updating my blog with new pictures!

Thanks for visiting!
