There's a murderer in my house

Oswald has an enemy. Her name is Mila and she is my mom's dog. Apparently she hates him because I'd rather hang out with him than play with her. Being an old grouch, of course I'd rather paint with Oswald than play with her. All Mila wants to do is chew on my hands and pull on my sleeves. Uh, thanks but no thanks.
This wouldn't be an issue if she would stop wrapping her blasted leash around Oswald's leg to pull on it and make him tumble down on top of me.



Look at her. I see right through that cute face. She's nothing but blood and murder.

...

Moving on, here is what I did this week instead of looking for a new job...



Hooray! hand studies for a change. I used some of the rejected reference pictures I took for that hand painting I did over the summer.



And a second painting based on one of David's pictures.




And a self portrait based on one of the rejected reference pictures I took for my painting final. I was going to add some other color to this, but I like abusing my cad red light. I bought the tube just as I was starting my final and it's almost all gone now. It will be sorely missed until I get a new one.




And this candy that I always expect to taste amazing and it never does. It's the wrapper's fault. It's deceivingly appealing and shiny.




And Zach Michaels! Thank you for volunteering your face. I've discovered I have a natural talent for making everyone look angrier than they really are, so I apologize for that. I owe you a pie.


Next time I'll post a portrait of Sam Torres I'm about to start on. Rest assured, it's going to be masterful.


AND I knew I was missing something. I almost forgot to add these in after all the hard work I put into them! Seriously, it took me about four hours just to paint each one. Now I remember why I don't like acrylic paint and tiny hand-painted details. But I'm really proud of myself for getting them done!


The top two are for Blandine and loooong overdue. The bottom ones I made for Karla and myself.


I was really excited to put Paquita (my laminating machine) to good use after buying her over a year ago. I think she was excited to see daylight again, too.


Okay, that's all.
