Well, the fun is over and the hard work begins... I will be working on commissions probably through the Holidays. If I get some free time, there will be new works available on Ebay--but no promises. I will post the commission work when it is finished so you can see what I have been up to. First will be completeing pet portraits. Then on to people portraits.

Spring at Chapel Hill

Spring at Chapel Hill
Spring at Chapel Hill is now available for purchase in my Ebay store. I hope your Thanksgiving went well. Mine was filled with cooking and eating and cleaning! It was really wonderful. Courtney helped with the tree decorating this year. Miranda was only here for Thanksgiving day, she works retail, so I will not see much of her until after Santa goes back home for the year. Courtney is headed back to Chapel Hill today. I will be cleaning gutters and hanging Christmas lights.

Next on the agenda:
I have drawn out the flower-of-the-month Pansy painting for the EBSQ show. Time is running out, so I will be working on that later today.
I have a pet portrait in pastel commission to complete before Christmas, that will be next.
Then, hopefully, I will finish the half dozen or so paintings in progress to close out the year.
The holiday season frenzy has begun!

I am finishing up a new painting of Chapel Hill that will be ready by the weekend, hopefully. I have started an entry for the Flower of the Month Show on Ebay. I have to have it completed by the end of the month.

I also have a portrait commission to have done before Christmas.

The next wine painting will be a Merlot. It is also in the works. There is just so much to get done.

Then there is that whole Turkey and green bean casserole thing.....so much to do...I am a very lucky women.
