Immortalised fuzz!

Happy Saturday all!

Mega cold has been defeated (just about) so I'm back and fighting!

Decided to put my latest collection on hold as my mother recently commented that I should do her and my dad a picture of their dog for the house....soooooo, I have decided that they can have a proper painting as a christmas present. 

So, bought the canvas board (which is a tad bigger than I was expecting, but hey, just means more dog to love!) and have done the basic outline. Figured I'd get it done as soon as I can really as it gives me plenty of time to start again if need be!

Here's what I've got so far.....




I'll start painting it tomorrow (since it's saturday night and I can't be bothered to do it now) and we'll see how it goes!


Just as a side note - I just watched the film Precious (2009) for the first time and thought it was awesome! Mo'nique was amazing! I would thoroughly recommend it (to a certain type of film fan, certainly not a film for everyone)...Just thought I'd share that!

Enjoy the rest of the weekend all!

Gremlins and Westies and Germs...Oh my!!!

Morning all! 

Not really got all the much to say actually! My latest art collection WAS going well but has been put on hold while I try to battle THE COLD FROM HELL! I'm more germ than human at the moment and it doesn't appear to be letting up any, which is unfortunate considering I'm supposed to be going to my work mate's engagement party on saturday night. I WILL be better! Oh yes!...

Had a nice visit from the little fuzz on saturday though. I sat and ate giant pretzels whilst he watched 2 of his favourite films, Gremlins and Gremlins 2: The New Batch.



"Oooooooh, she's put Gremlins 2 on...."






"Maybe I can see better if I get a bit closer....."






"It's Gizmo!!! Look!! GIZMO!!!!"





He's easily entertained! Although trying to get him to go outside to 'do his thing' when he's trying to watch a film isn't the easiest task in the world!

Anyhoo, since I have managed to get a rare day off from work I'm off to lie down with a tissue stuck up my nose!

Have a nice wednesday all!
