I think, after all the tweaking and double tweaking and triple tweaking, that my latest painting, "Boo" is finally finished. Wow, it was a very interesting journey as well as a new learning curve. Thanks to my friend Paul who has been not only supportive but has guided me in perfecting it as best as I can. If by the grace of God this painting makes it as one of the top 50-some paintings in the BP Award, it is partly because of him.
If she makes it to the top three, (which I am not holding my breath on, these things probably are much more political than I could even dream of) then I will die happy, ha ha! March is the month I take the painting to London for judging so if anyone out there in netherland actually reads these blogs, please wish me luck. If she does not place, well, it's back to the drawing board for me. I have an amazing photo of a sculptor that I will be using. He was an incredible guy who allowed me to take a photoshoot of him this summer. The photos turned out beautifully but I have one that is very special indeed. His eyes...well. They tell a story. I am proud and pleased to announce that I am now officially a full-time artist. I no longer have to collect data (which means no more agonizing phone calls to obnoxious and rude people) and can wake up each morning with a real smile on my face. I have been literally praying that this day would come and it has happened! I am a very happy camper. My new series is very exciting for me. I have already started the first painting and cannot wait to really get into it. I love the whole process that goes into each painting. It is what makes me feel alive. When I get a few of the new series under my belt, then it's off to submitting them to galleries. I am thinking of this happening sometime in late 2012 or early 2013. Happy holidays to anyone who may read this! I know I will have a great time here! :-)

Hiya Jules! I'm so glad you like it! I pulled it out last night to double-check it and I can honestly say that it is really really finished. The photo in here doesn't really do it justice but at least it gives you an idea. Love you! X
