Tuesday Evening Progress

Tuesday, March 31st, 2009

I’m working on a painting of sweet Maggie, who passed away recently and I miss dearly. Now that it finally stays lighter into the evening, I’m trying to get work done on it every chance I get. Here is today’s progress…

Beginning of Maggie

I have lots of shading laid down to go under her creamy white fur. The fur will be built up in many steps.

Oh, the Place You’ll Go!

Dawn & Tony’s Nursery, originally uploaded by punquin.

We spent our day with the beautiful Dawn, helping her paint a Dr. Seuss mural in her nursery-to-be. It came out super cute!

She picked a great design. Danny helped pick the colors – he suggested the green letters (they match the green trim in the room, and the walls are a greenish-white). I taped up a ton of newsprint paper and sketched it all out before we went to the art store for paints and graphite paper. Once it was transferred, Dawn and I painted it all in, and I did the outline work.

When we were all finished, we went out for dinner in Old Town Alexandria at Austin Grill. We got ice cream cones for dessert (sorbet for me) and wandered a bit. We had to get home though… The puppies had been home alone too long and had to pee!

Buddha Painting

Buddha Painting, originally uploaded by punquin.

Saturday, Danny bought me new paints! I finally got to finish my Buddha and lotus blossom painting. I am really pleased with how it came out. It’s really nice to get back into painting. Very therapeutic.

We also stumbled upon a rug for the foyer. West Elm had a sale on one we really loved. The dogs are in love with it too… I see a lot of vacuuming in my future!

Today we got to hang out with Tony and Dawn! I’ve missed spending time with them. We are all going to try to hang out more, despite our crazy schedules. I really don’t have many friends, so I am glad!

Bed, bed, bed! I have a busy week ahead of me, which surprisingly doesn’t include filling in in the dog daycare. They are having someone else fill in, so I can get my real job done! I’ll sneak out of my office occasionally to say hi to my favorites, though. Cause that’s how I roll…
