We are now down to the last 14 copies of my limited edition print of Wind Moon. When these last 14 prints sell out, she is gone for good. You can purchase Wind Moon here.

Also, when Wind Moon is sold out, we will be retiring her companion piece, the very last of the Elemental Moon Faeries; Earth Moon. 

Earth Moon can be purchased here, while supplies last.

My sister found this floating around, and I thought it pretty amusing, so I wanted to share. No idea who made this, because I can't read the signature on the side....

Edited to add: The name of the artist is Hilary B. Price and her website is rhymeswithorange.com
Thanks Kirsten and Stephanie!!!

Well, I'm pretty happy with how the re-paint of the Usurper cover came out, now I'm correcting two more pieces for the book that need some work, well maybe a lot of work. Basically I'm re-painting the main figures in both paintings.
But they will be much better when I am done...

Well, they had BETTER be!!

And Steven has been tearing through the writing of Book 3, Marionette. Every day there have been several updates for him to read to me. I feel almost guilty because my part of the work (the art) goes soooooo slowly (comparatively). I am just dying to get to the art for Book 3!

I have been working on some pretty major revisions to the front cover of the second book in the Zarryiostrom series: Usurper. I thought I was finished with it, but the more I looked at the painting, the more I disliked certain things.

So in that case there is nothing to do but re-paint!

I have a new painting available as a print. This is the back cover painting of my upcoming 2013 calendar and features a character for the Zarryiostrom Novel Series, the faeish mage Archimagus Lirielle. She's a really evil character but she was so much fun to paint!

The print is a signed and numbered limited edition of 2500 and is for sale here.


My very limited edition of  Princess Lyrahe, we released a couple of weeks ago is she nearly sold out. To date  we only have 3 or 4 prints left. Princess Lyrahe is available here.
And lastly I have some very rare long sold out prints I am offering for sale, such as  the below image Serenity from 1997.

This very rare print and others are available here.
I'd better get back to work, I have some major revisions on a painting to get finished ASAP.

Have a great weekend!

Domino sez, "My that stroganoff smells deeeee-vine!"


I know it doesn't look that appetizing in the bowl, but Steven's stroganoff is wonderful. And no, Domino did not get any, it's far too rich for him, I promptly sat back in my chair after I snapped the photo and finished it off myself.
Yum!

Waiting for some files to send so I thought I would post a pic of my latest desktop.

Enjoy a photo of my beautiful Greylordling.

Here is a preview of my upcoming 2012 calendar. I have been slaving away at my computer and there are several new pieces for the caledar as well as a few old favorites.
My 'cover girls' for this year are Queen Aveliad on the front cover and Archimagus Liriel on the back cover. The art files are going to the printer and we will most likely have them in time for A-kon in Dallas the first week of June.
I am also going to be personally attending A-Kon for the first time in several years, and I'm greatly looking forward to it.
See you there!

I was searching on my harddrive for something else, and I came across this old photo of my cat Domino. This was taken in late 2009, back when he was a wild and free outdoor cat. He looks pretty wary and watchful in this photo, but he is standing pointedly by the empty can of cat food. He didn't like me (or any humans back then), but he still wanted food when he wanted food, and quite  promptly thank-you!
And now that Domino is a  fat, lazy, but exceedingly sweet indoor cat  his appreciation and demands for food has not lessened one whit!


I took a little break from the Zarryiostrom images to do the layouts and last touchups on images for my 2013 calendar.  I thought I had finished the painting for November in the 2013 calendar last night, but Steven had pointed out something that bugged him, and went I sent a jpg to my dear friend, he pointed out somthing that bothered him--which happened to be the same thing Steven had noticed. So, grumble, grumble, I had to fix it. If two (or more!) people notice something off on a painting, it needs to be fixed! So  the piece is done--a nice somber one in dark muted tones--and now I need to put it into the calendar, because next week we will take it to the printers! Yay!

Calendar sneak peeks coming soon!

It's been months and months since I played, and my sisters have now even quit playing on their lunch break since the game takes nearly and hour and a half to load! But when they were playing, they took these lovely screenshots for me of their pretty simmies.

The Baroness Huntington and her magnificent aquarium window.


Two horses: Grand Duke and Spring. Or maybe it's Grand Duke in the spring, and the other horse is unnamed. But I have no idea which horse is Grand Duke anymore....
Annnnnyway, here are two lovely horses in a springtime garden!


This screenshot is titled Lucius and Dune, which I'm assuming are the bay and golden dun in the foreground. Or maybe that's the name of the house! But anyway, regardless of who is who or who is what-- here are more pretty horses in front of a pretty house.
I kinda wish I had horses on my front lawn!
