A NEW ACCOUNT

HI ALL,
Well the paintings are moving along, a little slowly, but they are getting done. I have also started two much smaller pieces, in an attempt to produce more work in a year.
The big paintings are a real challenge, but take so long to do, so I am trying some new ideas on a smaller scale.

I have also opened a new account :Cheebawitches: is a stock account I am doing with my best friend Lav, she will kill me for using her pet name. But you would have seen her in some of my paintings, 'Secrets' and 'waters edge', and she is the model for one of the larger pieces that I am working on at the moment.
Lav is a wonderfull friend, who lets me dress her in different costumes, and then walks around castles and grave yards for me, draping herself over ancien tomb stones, and walking through Arundal Castle in a wedding dress, while I snap away. And all in the name of my art.
Anyway, over the years I have taken many many pictures, not just of Lav, but of all sorts of things, ranging from insect wings and giant hornets, to landscapes and elephants.
So I have decided to put some up for use as stock art.
Now I wasn't thinking photo manips, but more as reference, although any use will be fine.
I am also not the best photographer in the world. And you never know, you may find the occasional picture of moi the other half of 'Lav and Jules' poping up, and it's about time there was some stock photo's of those of us that are no longer 21.
And besides that, I think Lav is beautiful, and she looks good in anything, medievil, gothic,
She is also a constant supply of laughter, my lifeline. It's not up and running yet but I will let you know when it is.
Henry is doing well, although he still has a bad leg. Today we had to shave off all his lovely feathers, as the vet is coming to take x-ray's and ultra sound of his bad leg tomorrow, so we will know exactly what is wrong, and if it can be put right, so fingers crossed.
Jules
