I was hoping to finish jock strap face for this post, and she's almost done, but not quite, and I'd much prefer to show you the finished product instead of another piece of the puzzle.  So for this week, even though I did it a while ago, I wanted to share a painting I did for my grandson Jake's birthday.  It's another little 2x3, I've been into the mini-paintings as of late, they're a nice break from the big'uns.

This week, while staring at jock strap face, I just couldn't do it.  I have too many different ideas swirling and I just couldn't commit, a common problem for me.  So last night when I found a little frame I'd bought at the dollar store recently, I decided a mini-painting was in order to clear my head.  I'm quite satisfied with this little guy, especially since he's only 2"x3" and didn't take too awfully long.

a day late and a dollar short (#9)

It's thursday.  I'm still sick, or suffering from the worst allergies of my life, I genuinely can't tell one way or the other.  So, getting myself to paint has been a bit of a chore.  I finally got home before 11 last night (first time all week) and decided I MUST paint.  Unfortunately I'm still moving at the speed of a very slow snail and have only managed to get her face painted, but some is always better than none right?  So here's another tid-bit of progress for you...

or maybe it will, it's kind of grown on me...)

This week I've been working on fork dude's girlfriend, jock strap face.  Now, she isn't actually wearing a jock strap, it's called a scold's bridal, but even I can admit it looks a bit like a shiny metal jock strap.

So far, she is going tremendously better than fork dude did, but he was (and continues to be) wonderful practice for her.  I can't wait to finish her and restart fork dude!
