Queen of Multi-tasking

I suppose that you could call me that. I have a hard time just working or concentrating on one thing ... I like to keep busy, so I end up having 20 things going on at once, though sometimes I would prefer to be the laid back, one at a time type person. Alas, I doubt that will ever happen.

So, here is yet another sneak peak of a piece that I am working on. This one is for myself and my hubby - a wedding creation in coloured pencil. So far so good, my only complaint, or perhaps I should say critique (just to be more professional) is the faces. Not sure how I'm going to go about finishing them off yet. This is my first human coloured pencil piece ... and therein lies the challenge.

The "Dogs of Moron" are coming along and are very close to the completion stage (whew). I am also working on some jobs for clients, so all these side drawings may be taking a back seat for a while.

Completed...and given!

This piece was created as a gift for my sister and her new husband, who were just married last week in Cuba (March 4, 2009).

We agreed upon no gifts...but I had to do something. I wanted it to be inexpensive but different, something a little special. That's when I can up with the portrait idea and, well the rest is history.

The portrait is a 9"x12" graphite pencil created on Strathmore Bristol smooth 100lb stock, accentuated with a solid black wood frame.

They seemed extremely pleased to receive it, and I wish them the best of luck and love in their upcoming married years!
