New painting with a futuristic look (very bad ass) of Lyla and I to be started soon!!

My friend from art school, Dave, came over today to take some pictures of me for this digital painting stuff that he does. I was so excited that he agreed to do one of me. Here's an example of his work. You can see all of his work at www.paintbynumbers.com.

It's just really cool shit and I feel honored that he agreed to do one of me. To turn me into a futuristic fighter chick is awesome. I can't wait to see it when it's done.

While he was here I asked him to take a picture of Lyla and I posing like we're two bad ass chicks fighting in some futuristic world and we have only ourselves to rely on. I wanted her looking up at me like we were in agreement that we were giving out asswhoopings and lollipops and today we were all out of lollipops!! But I liked this one shot that is her looking right out at you instead of up at me. It's just a nice look on her face. and I think still bad ass enough.

So this is the shot I settled on for the painting. So, so, so excited to start this one. I think it's going to look great. But, see again...my ADD...I was going to finish the one I am currently working on and try the oils next week. Now I'm not. I gotta do this one. And I don't think I want to try this in oil. I would like to stick to what I know for this one.

I asked my husband's opinion on what size and he thinks HUGE. It didn't take much to convince me to do it really big. So I have to go get another canvas that is 3' x 4' for it.

Damn it...can't wait.
