Yet another "cute" owl

Hey guys! It's been awhile since I've blogged... my computer was broken (ouch, my wallet hurts) so I've been slacking. But here's my latest!... as in, 2.5-hours-ago-I-had-a-brush-in-my-hand latest. Getting right back on the blogging horse!

Can I just say that this is the 3rd nursery that I've painted this year where the couple asked me for a tree with an owl in it?! Popular theme! Not a "scary owl" though mind you, a "cute one".  Everyone made sure to note that. This family was the sweetest. And the kid's dimples were KILLING ME.  It was one of those times where I was in the zone and just busted it out, 9am-3pm and done. It's always the filling in the initial big shapes that I paint super fast so I can get to the fun part of laying in the last few layers of my brightest and lightest colors. When I get to that point, I slow down and I'm in this stupid-happy trance. 

Anyone else ever feel guilty for taking people's money for doing stuff you would totally be doing anyways? Like when I got home and was unpacking my stuff and my roomate says "Did you work today?" And I'm instinctively like, "Nah, I was painting!" But I did work. It's weird. Anyways, happy Saturday, people. Go get you some of whatever makes you feel stupid-happy!

WHY do I always end up looking like this? I don't understand the artists who can keep paint off their hands and clothes, and out of their hair for that matter. Don't worry, drop cloths protecting carpeting!
