Went to bed, and then got back up to finish it.  |

I'm really enjoying this one, and I think it's mostly because I so love the colors going on. I've got Vivaldi and Mozart hangin' with me tonight while I finish this one, and I'm taking a break to go for a bike ride and get some clarity before I return to finish it.  ETC: Done for the night, and not quite finished.  |

 ETC:  The nice thing about acrylics is that I can rough sketch both position and size by "blocking in" the elements of a painting and then go over it later and correct it. It's at this stage that I can test colors and composition. |

I've changed my mind on my next card - it's going to a be a vertical-orientation painting of a girl kneeling by some tulips. That will give me 6 vertical cards and 8 horizontal cards, for a total of 14 and enough to begin showing the point-of-sale racks to merchants. I've made the signage that will be at the top of the racks:  And I've ordered business cards:  Took me a couple of weeks longer to get here than I had planned, but here I am. I should get the next batch of cards back from the printer by April 21st, so I will hopefully have my cards in retailers' hands in time for Mother's Day. |

Working on the flowers and the vase. The vase isn't done, but I'm okay with it so far.  More later... ETC: It's now obvious where the cat is. I'm almost done with the vase and flowers. I should finish this tomorrow, and then I hope to finish another by the end of the weekend.  |

I've opened up a new feature here on the site: the Music Gallery (link on the upper left of this page). I'm not that polished and I recorded it with my Sony Cybershot camera and then converted to MP3 from the MPEG video, but it gets the point across. |

Didn't do much today, but did make a bit of progress.  |

Last week, my new card racks arrived. Two of them are the five-foot tall variety, with both horizontal and vertical orientation for the cards, as you can see below.  The rack holds twenty-four cards, and I've filled it top to bottom on two of its four sides. I'm currently painting the thirteenth card. Gotta keep workin' on the dream. |
