Well I am stopping in to wish everyone a creative New Year!! I still apologize for not being on here very often, I have been working hard on many new commissions. In progress I have commisssions for 31 drawing that will be put together to make a coloring book on Sea Lions, also have an Arctic painting coming up that will be 36x36 on canvas (polar bears, walrus, penguins, a beluga and who knows what else I will add) for a little boys room, after the coloring book I have been commissioned to do a childrens book on sea lions too....there are a few other small pastel commissions to come too. I admire all those artists out there that do commissions, its hard always doing pieces that are gone the minute you finish them and that you dont have the total say on how things look. It is a great experience but also a difficult one for me!

I will try harder this year to keep more updates coming and admire all the new art my friends are making! Come visit me on Myspace too!! ([link])

I am on there daily and keep the artwork more updated! Thanks to all that have left me so many great comments and look forward to meeting all the new people that find me or that I have found in the New Year!!
