Me: "I have enough cheese to make only one kind of enchiladas for you guys. Do you want chicken enchiladas with green sauce or beef enchiladas with red sauce?"
Dave: "Make both."
Me: "Seriously, we have a cheese shortage issue."
Dave: "Beef!"
Little guy: "Chicken!"
So I texted my big guy and his girlfriend.
Big guy: "Chicken!"
Big guy's girlfriend: "Chicken!"
Dave: "My vote counts more than theirs!"
And so this morning I made two batches of chicken enchiladas with green sauce. I also made a couple of cheese enchiladas just for me...because yum!
I started working on a couple of commissioned pieces today. I'm actually creating two of the same image. I've done this a couple of times before and it's really fun. I don't get all wrapped up in having them exactly the same. I figure they're more like if you were to have taken a couple of photos of something happening...while the photos would contain all of the same elements, they'd definitely be different. As there are two it does take me almost twice as long, so this post will definitely span more than three or four days.
I lay down the basic beach/ocean. |
I added waves and some clouds. |
I added a darker part of the beach and sketched the kiddos. |
I taped the paper on a big piece of cardboard so I could work using my easel. |
I used watered down black to fill in the kiddos. |
I'd love for you to share my art and blog with the links below. Thanks!
Love the idea of doing two at a time. They are both just wonderful!
