Gingerbread rough, ©, no stealing
I had to come back sometime, so figured today was as good a day as any.
Kind of in limbo on the Gingerbread book; the drawings are done, just waiting for the green light on the finishes. The drawings were well received, so I'm in that 'hurry up and wait' period. Kinda frustrating, but this is not the place to kvetch about that...

Made some changes to the blog, and also my website. With the links, mostly.Here, I took off the blogroll thingie; as much as I loved it, it was dragging the loading time down, and I also couldn't put as many people as I wanted to. So now I have a list of websites for illustrators and colored pencil people, and blogs for people doing daily painting and crafty things. Half of me wants to take all of it off altogether, because there's no way way to put everyone on there. Someone will always be left out, due to some oversight or other. So if you see a link to yourself, then see it disappear one day, please don't be offended. Its nothing personal. I just can't figure out how to make everyone happy, so rather, I'll make everyone UNhappy. That seems more fair somehow. ha ha
On my website I took off all the links to personal sites altogether! Just wiped them clean. For the same reasons. So if you have a link to me on your site or blog, and I've deleted you, please feel free to delete me in return, I will completely understand!

Another building rendering, this one in the Chicago area. Its always a challenge to imagine what the landscaping actually is, since the pictures I get to work with either have snow covering it up, or empty pots or bare beds. So I do a kind of generic "Spring" thing to add a little life to the building. So far, thankfully, I haven't had any complaints.

On a sad note ~ I had to let my little Wendell go a couple of weeks ago. His bladder was finally giving out altogether, and to spare him the inevitable bad end, I let him go peacefully. It was a very sad day. Very sad. He was the most difficult kitty I've ever had; physically, his personality, all of it. But of course I loved him more than I can say. He will be greatly missed.

Lots of projects in the germination stage here. Like little seeds all lined up in their pots, getting ready to sprout and grow. Hopefully I'll have some 'seedlings' to show pretty soon!

Glad you are back Paula - you were missed.
welcome back :)
sorry to read about Wendell :(
Welcome back Paula. I like your generic spring rendering. :-)
You have already heard from me regarding Wendell but again, my sympathies. What a lovely tribute photo.
Looking forward to the 'seedlings'... :-)
Oh Wendell. I'm so sorry. Such a beautiful picture of him.
Good luck with the seedlings!
And you are the most perfect illustrator for The Gingerbread Man, can't wait to see it in color!
I was just about to say it's about time for you to start posting again. Missed 'ya.
Glad your back. I'm sorry about Wendell. He looks just like my Jack that needed to go to rest many years ago.
