Daydreaming and Night Walker completed!

I've gotten so bad at updating my blog! I'm a week behind again! What's worse is that I have all process shots saved on my camera, and I haven't posted any. Blugh. Maybe I'll get to them eventually? Anyway, above is my piece Daydreaming. The reference pose for the little girl can be found here: http://tracie76stock.deviantart.com/

This is something new which I'll be posting on DeviantART within the next couple hours titled Night Walker. A little unoriginal, but I couldn't think of anything spectacular. Willow trees are my favorite trees, so I thought it was about time I draw one. I really enjoyed working on her dress and the landscape in general.

Feeding Time Completed

I just realized this morning that I never got around to posting this on here. I have been taking process photos of all my recent works; however, I haven't gotten the chance to post them on here. I will eventually...hopefully anyway. I just finished a new piece as well, so I'll have that posted tomorrow. It's a children's illustration, so back to my more regular stuff. This piece, Feeding Time, was something a little different from me. Still trying to decide what I think of it.
Also new picture of me which I'm posting on all my art pages. Thought it was about time since my other picture looked too blurry.

A Hope for Rain Completed

I finished this earlier this week, but never got around to posting it.
I live in northern Florida, and throughout the month of June, wild fires seemed endless. I would wake up in the morning and step outside my front door, only to be greeted by the nauseating odor of smoke. I would go to work, and the inside of the building would be hazy from the fires. I'd drive by miles of burned down trees or trees in the process of burning. It seemed like the fires would never cease - especially since there was no rain in sight. Heat lightening reined supreme as it continued to cause more burning.
That is, until two weeks ago when I was inspired to create this piece. We finally saw rain again. And not just a shower lasting five minutes. This was a thunderstorm.
I'd never been so happy for a power outage in my life.

This was also featured on Prismacolor's Facebook page. I pretty much fainted when I saw it show up on my wall.

And for those of you who are interested, I recently updated my professional portfolio page.
