Twitter and Another Owl

First off, thanks to all the peeps that have started following me on Twitter...and to the ones that unfollow, you'll be OK (for now, until I find out where you live).   I've added a counter on the side, that I, so lucky for me and my absolutely free schedule >_> , get to manually update at TwitterCounter.  I figure it's just another gadget to bedazzle my utterly barren little blog, but ya know, it's like a new toy to fool with;)

Now, on to the grand finale...the new painting. This little illustration is part 2 of my horned owl series, and it's obviously a barn owl (what? you don't have a degree in ornithology?)...I adore their big heart-shaped faces and dark eyes.  I'm really enjoying mixing the watercolor and acrylic paints to give me just the right consistency. I feel like I have a whole lot more flexibility with it, and hope to be moving on to some bigger pieces soon. I also have some larger watercolor paper and more illustration markers on the way (hooray) so get ready for a butt-load of more art:)

A sketch...I guess she could turn into a character..or something.

Time Lapse Video Painting!

Ok, so now that I have all of the necessary equipment to make a proper little flick, I have put together a time lapse video of my latest painting.  This is more in line with what I like personally, so here goes.

(Oh, one more thing!....the music in this video is by The Mars Volta, and is a song called "Eat the Sun.")
