1. My 10-Minute Pet Portrait Needs YOU



(If the above video doesn't work, please click here.)

Here's the first time-lapse painting video I've ever made. I'd wanted to make one for a long time, before I finally did it. The final push at the time, was that my pet portrait days were numbered, and I wanted to do a video of a pet portrait creation before I stopped doing them.

If you have never seen this video, I really hope you'll give it a watch. I really love the finished portrait, AND, the process of making the video was exciting. (It was educational, too - editing is hard work!)

I am interested in gaining page views of this video because down the road, I think it would be cool to get enough views of all my painting videos to try to get a company sponsorship to make more. My fantasy is that my favorite paint company would sponsor me... Wouldn't that be great?? But, I can only pitch the idea if I have a LOT of page views and people who join my You Tube Channel. Can you help?

If you like the video, please rate it and leave a comment if you feel like it. And if you REALLY like it, please send the link to your friends so they can watch it, too... Thanks a lot!!

2. HD Ten-minute time-lapse pet portrait video!


Watch my HD time-lapse video of painting the below portrait of Calpe & Capri!
(Please make sure to click on the little "HD" button to watch it in HD)


Here is my first-ever time-lapse video. This was a lot of fun to make and something I've wanted to do for a long time.  Editing video is not easy. It took a lot of time and energy but it was worth the efforts -- I'm really happy with how it came out. I'm glad I was able to accomplish this and I hope you enjoy it! It's ten minutes long so there may be some download time. I suggest you let it download in the background for awhile while you go on about your other business and then come back to watch it once it's complete. That way you won't waste your time waiting to watch it, and hopefully not encunter the "jaggies".

4. Calpe & Capri finished portrait sketch


Here is the finished portrait sketch of Calpe and Capri. Specs: Arches 140# hot press (smooth) paper, HB pencil.

Details, details...

• The background scene is of a Capri seaside, complete with cool architecture built into the oceanside mountain rock formations.

• Round, big pottery vases flanking the sides of the portrait are like ones you might see in Capri

• Butterflies dotting some border details are representational and were included per client's wishes

• A small blue jay stuffie is Calpe's favorite toy

• Block "M" letter center top represents an alma mater

•Single engine Cessna Skylane aiplane depicted in the center of the sky

• Beautiful lush flowers and greenery (like you would see in Capri) decorate the border

• Ocean is represented complete with weathered boats

• Cats are posed in the same manner as when they recline in real life

Next up:
Awaiting final approval on this sketch. After that I am inking the piece. (I will have a SPECIAL SURPRISE for you when I post the inked-in portrait!)
