Help me name the hydrangea work!


Since I've getting so close to the end of the hydrangea drawing...I've got to start thinking of a name. I admittedly suck at naming my work. I'm having a little contest on my facebook page to help me name this piece. Come on over and become a fan of my page. You'll see the link to my page over there on the right. Make your suggestion on what you think would be a great name and I'll add it to the poll for the fans to vote on. The winner will get a free 6 pack of blank note cards featuring this drawing.
Don't be shy and give me your best ideas! :)

Rounding the Far Turn


I've actually gotten a lot done on this since you guys have last heard from me. I've even gotten more progress done since I took this photo yesterday morning. That corner down in the bottom right is about 2.5" by 2.5" in size. I know it really isn't that much...but when you work in the detail I do, it can feel like a 6 x 6' rug. :) I do see the light at the end of the tunnel for real now. And, that is more exciting than I can say. It's been an obscenely long time since I did a piece from start to finish. It almost feels like a personal growth journey for me now. The fact I did something and really stuck it through without putting it away for months (and yes, years) is a big deal for me. I think the days of monster sized drawings may be few and far between in my art career. First, I don't want to have originals that are cost prohibitive for my collectors because of the epic period of time it takes me to complete them. Second, they will take me an epic amount of time to finish them. So, anyway...this is still on the projected mark of being finished by the end of the year. :)

Other things on Equus2 news is I overhauled my eBay stuff. I have an official eBay store now that will have full inventory. I got really tired of trying to relist stuff and have things come and go. I felt like it looked as if I didn't have anything in stock. I also didn't want someone to miss an opportunity to make some of my art theirs when an auction closed and some time passed before I put it back up for sale. So, without further adieu:


Hopefully this will make shopping at Equus2 a little bit easier for my fans. :)
