A Mini Break from my currently crazy world

Long time, no see!! Next Friday the football program will be at the printer and I will be able to breathe again, not to mention fold a mountain of laundry! It has been a great experience and I have been really able to improve my design skills, plus get much more familiar with Illustrator.

We ordered CS5 and I can't wait to use it. I have done the whole football program using CS, and while probably not as effective as CS5 it is much more familiar!

I have also been dying to pick up a paintbrush again as well... I have a canvas all prepared, lots of texture and gessoed, ready to go... but no ideas what to put on it!

Pears & Such

I finished my pear painting today. I am thinking that the angels may have to take the backseat for a while. I guess that is the beauty of challenging yourself to something. Changing your mind is always an option!! I think I may be entering a fruit phase now or may wake up with a new idea tomorrow. Today I plan on setting up a still life for my next painting and shoot my photos. I already have my canvas prepared, so I may get to start painting tomorrow. After I take my son to take his driving test. Eek! May need to paint to handle the stress of him being out on the road alone in the near future!
