Progress on the Virginia Highlands Festival signature art. 27 hours in. First person who asks if the Virginia Creeper leaves are pot leaves gets punched in the face. ;)

Two for one~!

 Finished "Curious Lizard" this morning, and started on the firebird.. who, incidentally, is telling her chicks how she lost part of that gorgeous tail. ;) 

 This weekend was spent sitting with some local artists  at the Highlands festival. Saturday was completely dead, but Sunday was better.
