Hello everyone:) I want to thank everyone for the prayers and well wishes for my mother and her surgery.  Again thank you!!!!!  As for being back in the studio I have been working hard here in the studio and have made good progress on the commissioned piece. I should be finishing this piece  soon!  Here is a sneak peek of it so far….

I still have some work to do on the hair and skin…some finishing work, but am happy with the way this painting is coming to life.

Yes I am now one year older:)  We have been sooo busy that I have been working  just about every day and have not had much free time,  so it was such a lovely surprise when my hubby made me this beautiful red velvet cake:) He also made me one of my favorite meals from scratch, lasagna and it was so very yummy!!!  So was the cake!!!  It all started with the doorbell ringing and when I went to the door all I seen was a bunch of balloons and so I opened the door to find my husband holding a pink box and the balloons!!! So sweet:)

I “shared” the balloons with my Mazzy by placing them next to her photograph. I know how much she loved balloons and therefore I love them too. I miss her so much and just know how much she would have enjoyed the cake that daddy made too.

And just what was in the pink box you ask……

“Light Blue” perfume from Dulce & Gabbana:)  It has such a light and wonderful sent, I just love it!!!

I have also been working on these little lovelies. A small series that I am working on at the moment.

They are acrylic works on paper. I used Goldens black gesso as a base and then went from there. I am anxious to see how this series come to life:)

Ok everyone I am headed back to the studio for now.  Have a wonderful afternoon:)

~Cheers~
