Summer 2012

Hello!

It's been a long time-sorry!   I have been really busy so far this year.  I have been on day shift and concentrating on a different, exciting project that has taken up all of my time and efforts.  But so definitely worth it!   I decided after being heavy majority of my life that I no longer wanted to be that way.  I really wanted to live and enjoy my life, instead of being miserable and too self conscious to even enjoy it.   I am almost to my goal of losing 50lbs, I have only 15 left to go-whoo hoo!  In order to do this I had to put my drawings on the back burner for awhile.   Now that I am starting back on graves this week, I will get back to drawing and I have pictures lined up to do.  So you will be seeing some work posted on here.   I have touched up all of the pictures I have already had on here so hopefully the color and details will be much clearer.  

I did add another picture I just finished this week.  It is part of a group picture that I did with my CPSA chapter which I thought was an absolute blast!  So much fun!  We were all given a petal shape outline and you had to create a picture based off of the topic of "Blumen" (flower).    After weeks of searching and taking pictures everywhere, I found a picture of a some pear blossoms that I had taken in a back yard of a house I used to rent a couple of years ago.   Its my understanding that every one's pictures will be matted and framed in the shape of a flower.  I am just so excited over this idea and happy that I get to participate in this.  I have never done anything like it and I hope that I will get to see the final finished product.   I live several of hours away from the group that I am not sure I will, but I really hope so.  I only wish that I was closer so I could learn from everyone.   I can only imagine their contributions will be absolutely amazing!

I hope everyone is having a fantastic summer!
