Boston baby

It has been a busy but good weekend. We went to see Posiedon with some good friends Friday night. It was nerve wracking, but semi ok I guess. I enjoyed the adrenaline rush but it didn't have much plot. This morning my Aunt and Uncle invited the whole family over for brunch. What a spread! She cooked everything from texmex omeletes, to waffles, biscuits, pototoes, bacon sausage... anyway it was great. We always enjoy our time with them.

Then on to a baby shower for a dear friend who just adopted a newborn, then found out within 2 months she was pregnant! So her babies will be 10 months apart. I think that is so cool!. Then on to our 30 somethings group scavenger hunt. I was the reigning queen from last years event, but unfortunately got dethroned. We came in 2nd place this year. I'll have to set my eyes on the gold for next year.. you had better watch out. Yes, you-- you know who you are! Lol.

So today I started checking my stats on my blog. I was amazed to see I am getting tons of hits from the photos of my dogs. So you get to see my big baby, and my boston baby. They love each other. Boudreaux is getting old- all he wants to do is eat and sleep. I must be getting older myself.

Well I've got to do 7 larger abstracts this week so I'll be extremely busy.


Hey-- Taylor won. Yessssss!

Ok,.. more later.

American Idol's Soul Patrol! Go Taylor Hicks!

Yes, I admit I am one of the thousands of American Idols fans. Tonight is the big finale-- Soul Patrol!

We'll be getting together with some friends to see who the winner is. Thanks goodness for tivo ---!!!

Although I must admit it's been hard to pick a favorite as I've really enjoyed all the finalists!!!

I guess Taylor is my favorite because he is so bluesy! Got that N'awlins sound going
on!!!

New Orleans T-shirts now available!

It's been a while since I've updated so I thought I'd sneak back in here and get my blog active again. Just haven't been much in the mood to write alot lately. I've added some really neat new New Orleans t-shirts and memorablia to my website. All kinds of neat ways to express yourself Nawlins' style. You can view my merchandise here

On a personal note, things are going well. I've been consumed with my new makeup business. I guess most artist are always getting into something new from time to time. Mineral makeup is wonderful, and besides creating a cosmetic line is so exciting! (whatever!)

I plan on working on that today after I return from translating. For those of you who didn't know, I lived in Mexico for 7 years and am fluent in Spanish. So I translate for our local court system. Geez, I guess I am just so multi-faceted!


Ok, time to get to work!

Customized Pet Portraits that are true works of art

I finished another digital painting last night. I am so excited about being able to do this type of work. It really broadens my horizons for expressing myself in so many ways. Take a look at the examples and the finished product.

Boston Terrier portraits are coming my way, as well as many other works. I have a commission for a beautiful kitty named T-Bird as well as several other furry friends I'm working with. This type of art is so rewarding because it taps into discovering the qualitites and characteristics of each animal and bringing those to life on the canvas. Feel free to email me for a quote, I'd be happy to work with you. Soon I'll be branching out into people portraits as well.

On another note, the web site is moving slowly. I've just been battling the ability to stay on task and get it finished. Hopefully today I will get on the ball and make alot of progress. If you need New Orleans art, email me.


Have a wonderful day.

Custom Pet Portraits

I've been working on my digital art skills. Here is custom pet portrait I just completed of my Boston Terrier, Boudreaux. Here is the reference photo I worked from, as well as the completed piece. I just love the vibrant colors. If you are interested in a custom pop art pet portrait, just email me and I'd be happy to discuss the details with you. I can have the artwork printed on stretched or unstretched canvas. I think you would love one! I plan on working on several more of these in the future as time allows. Isn't he a cutie! I find it hard to believe that this isn't an original hand-created painting, but a piece of digital art created with a painter program. I love the way it feels and looks like oil paints..so luscious and vibrant.
