Happenings

A lot has been happening in "Mindy's Studio" (which is where ever I am by the way-haha) ;)  

I just sent this painting to my Aunt for Christmas as a surprise: 

It was a painting I started in Vienna.  I'm so glad to have made that trip in the spring to Vienna.  I started 4 paintings in one week!  It's amazing how space and supplies can boost painting! The finished product of "Spring Flowers" has more details but I was in such a rush I couldn't get a photo of it.  

Her'es another one I finished recently that I started in Vienna: 

It's still available to be altered if you think it should be.  Just let me know!  I call it "Sunrise".  It was something I dreamed up because I wasn't sure if I would ever wake up early enough to see a real sunrise, ha! I put the track of the first song from Pride and Prejudice on rerun and painted away!

On the illustrating side of things.  I attended my first group critique right before I packed my bags in the states to head back.  It was super encouraging and insightful!!  Also, people wanted to know how I did my cat in the trees illustration.  Everyone in the group is really advancing as well! I have two more classes to catch up on after Christmas and being sick! Time to get back to work!
