BURROUGHS-ing IN...............

After all the festivities and good times with family and friends, yesterday I got to go back into the studio and spend most of the day working and I must admit it felt GREAT!! I got 90% of the background done in the Earth's Core painting and started to work a bit on the figures. Today I am starting on some of the foreground as well as more of the figures and tightening a few things up, so the whole thing is coming along and there is another ink that I have started to pencil in sitting on the drawing table.

I will update a bit more later and maybe let a few images sneak out soon, but until then I am keeping them to me. There might be a rough pop up in a week or so.

Thanks

Tracy

MERRY CHRISTMAS

My wife and I were at the annual Christmas party that we go to last night, and somehow during all the fun I managed to find my bag of stuff that I carry everywhere I go and whilst we were sitting around talking and having a good time...............I accidently did this drawing.

I was just sitting there on the couch and talking and making comments and yet at the end of the evening I had this sitting on my lap. I don't really remember doing it, but there it was and so here it is.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY

KEEPING SPIRITS BRIGHT.......

Just a few Christmas cards that I had done in the past.

MERRY CHRISTMAS to all, I wish you PEACE , LOVE, and HAPPINESS in the new year and hope everyone has a safe and blessed Christmas and holliday season.

See you all next year.

POP

Here it is, the special painting I was talking about in the COMING SOON post a week or so ago. As the title says "POP", its my dad. This is a special image as it is the first real portrait I have ever done, but even more so........this is for my mom. Today is her birthday and this is her present. As of the writing of this she has not seen it, but will open it later today, I truly wish I could be there for it, but in some small way I am.

In this painting, I just wanted to pay tribute to my dad, whom I love and respect more than anyone I have ever met. When I grow up, I would like to be the man he is.

Through this painting I also wanted to say thanks to my mom, for all the encouragement, advice and love she gave us growing up and still does. She is my number one supporter and "fan", so this painting is for her. In some small way with this image I can start paying back some of what they ( mom and dad ) have done for me. I know I can never repay all they have done for me, but I can try and the first step is to say thank you. I would not be who I am without their efforts or help.

So thanks to both and HAPPY BIRTHDAY mom.

I love y'all.
