Once I took off the pressure of deadlines, I've been back to the drawing table.
Expect to see some brand new work trickling in on the site, and for all of you that I owe commissions to...I'm working on those now. :)

My site will seem a bit jumbled for the next few days. I'm making a few changes with both the site situation and a few of my paintings.

Not to say that I haven't been hammering out some progress on the two canvases. With the pomegranetes came a new background. A swirling of gusty winds meets dirt storms meets marble. I've gotten quite fond of it, and it is now my new thing. My other new thing is this appearance of a hide stretched out touching all sides of the canvas without any sort of main variable. It is how I've been feeling - skinned and stretched. Left out to dry. Such emotions can be so much more pretty when painted instead of felt. Pelt. How ironic.
Anyway, step two for the two. Here are where they are so far, starting with him and then her.
