Still working on my latest wolf.....

I am still working on him, but he is almost done! I plan to add in trees in the background.

About the map.....

I found this map on another blog, and decided to try it here as a guestbook.

Working on another wolf pencil drawing

I am about 2/3 of the way finished with another wolf drawing.... I just LOVE working in pencil. I think it's similar to black&white photography..... it lends itself to so much more detail & light. I won't be able to work on it this afternoon... I have to work my dayjob til 5 today.
I got a request for a commissioned drawing - but I simply cannot do a decent drawing for $10. She wanted it in color, no less. Sometimes I wonder if people realize that alot of time & effort (and yes, love) goes into my artwork - I don't just do quick sketches. No matter how much I would like to please everyone, I simply can't. I did alot of research on pricing my artwork, and I believe in fair market value.
OK, I'm down from the soapbox now, contemplating a good Father's Day gift for my Dad. He is really special to me, and I always try to find something he would enjoy. Hmmmmmmmmmm.....

Summer's here!

Well, the weatherman was wrong - he said today would be partly sunny and 80 degrees, it is raining and 59. The only thing he had right was the wind. Oh well.
Great news! I consolidated all of my links to one central site: http://LinkTiles.com?tile=2646
Go there and check it out! All of my links are on the left sidebar (my store, my art gallery, my art profile, blogs, etc). Let me know what you think!

Art in Iowa

Today I am so excited - the artistic ideas are just boiling over in my head, and I am going to spend my afternoon taking pictures of my artwork, jewelry, etc. to list online for sale. I have been researching pricing, and I think I can be competetive. Check out CarlaKurtArt.etsy.com and see the new Cougar I just finished... Carla
