Hi everyone,

Sorry to have been missing for pretty much the whole month. Been away from art. Which makes me sad. And it's rainy, which also makes me kind of melancholy. aka, sad.

But on the good side, I did get to travel home to visit some family. Had a nice road trip. And the weather was pretty nice. 

Honestly, I have been busy, the sad thing is, I didn't even write May down in my list of Art Challenges for the year! It's like I knew I wouldn't be able to do anything this month.

I'm also participating in a fundraiser for children fighting cancer.

During June I will be riding my bike, my goal is 150km. If I get some more sponsors I may go further.

Anyone interested in sponsoring me? You can do so here:

greatcyclechallenge.ca/Riders/…

And if you're in Canada you will get a tax receipt. You can also request for me to ride in someone's name.



Hope everyone is well! That's all for now, I'm going for a little hike in the valley (probably about 4 hours/20km).

I am happy to announce that I went through the entries and have picked the winners for my coloring contest.

It was kind of difficult, especially with several different drawings to choose from.

So, here are the winners!

Thanks to everyone who participated!

As promised, I was going to uploaded my final version of Eagle Dances. Here it is.

Hooray for 2016!

New beginnings...new challenges...new resolutions that are created to be broken completed!

So, my challenges for the year, aka resolutions are:

1) Each month I will draw/paint a person, to keep up the improvements in drawing/painting people.

Hopefully I will have something that I can share with you! (i.e. I'm not posting my failures, of which I already have one!)

2) Each month I will complete an old WIP, of which I have many.



Seeing this photo makes me sad! Very sad! And I've added to the pile since then!



What challenges are you undertaking for the year? Let's get them done! :hurry:

So I've been thinking about running a contest for a while.
