Tis the Season

It's so cold outside.  My poor feet are freezing!  Maybe I need new shoes.  That's an idea I can get behind.
Well, since it's so cold, or at least it feels cold to me.  I thought I would post a bit of holiday cheer. I think his feet look nice and toasty in those fancy boots.
Enjoy the weekend everyone!

Busy Girl

I finished all my paintings for the 4th Annual Melissa Saylor Holiday Show!  50 paintings!  Bam!  The show will be at a lovely restaurant in Albany called Sybaris.
Now I just have to name them come up with a price list and hang the show on Saturday.  I have been a very busy girl.  Just sayin.

Shy

For those of you who know me well, you know that my printer/scanner has been giving me fits. I have been talking, complaining and just plain screaming about it.  I'm normally a very calm person.  But, this machine has really tried my patience.  Well, this morning I came into my studio, talked nicely to my printer and tried for the 4000th time to scan a new illustration, and it worked!?!?  I shall not question why, but enjoy the little miracle taking place in my studio.  So, here is an illustration I recently finished for Illustration Friday.  This topic was a few weeks ago I think. Guess I better get all the work done that I can while the printer angels are smiling down on me.

Moving Forward

I've been working on an illustration for the banner on Illustration Wednesdays, in which I take part.  As I've been drawing I've been thinking about this past week.  A week full of family and food and sadly a bit of sadness.  My Aunt June passed away on November 16. Her funeral took place this past Saturday.   I will miss her.  She was fun and creative and gentle.  Well, she was a lot of things.  But, mostly she was a wonderful human being who lived on this earth and and while she was here she made it a better place.  Thank you Aunt June.

So Cathy, Barb, Bob, Amy, Davey, David, Jaden, and Jazmine, if you are reading this. This one is for you.  xx missy

This Weekend

Can't wait for this weekend.  I hope to be doing a lot of this.
