After sketching, I usually hang versions up around my room to sort of kick start ideas. The sketch I show was the final version before painting, and I thought the sunlight striking the exposed back of the paper stack made it look like the outline of her face, which I had decided not to show in the sketch/painting. Just one of those serrendipitous moments in life.
This might be an old one, but it made me laugh....saw it on some girl's Yahoo profile...

Thanks for the advice about my mother. And welcome to SG. 
bohogirl:
Thank you - I'm glad you enjoyed it.
I'm still trying to make it through all the pics - on the page 139 - but it just keeps on growing. When I first went on (like, 4 days ago), it had 136 pages. Then it went up to 156 and 186.
I had to skip yesterday - too much work - imagine my surprise when, this morning, the page count went up to 236!
Oh well... I guess I'll have an endless source of entertainment when I need to distract myself
Oh, and btw... Welcome!
Edited to say:
The one that made me laugh histerically (and spit coffee all over the computer) has a dog with a guilty look on its face, and the text reads something like "I was so upset when I found out Bush won, I pooped on the sofa. My owner was really upset too, so I didn't get in trouble".
I don't know why I found that just priceless (could have been the 4am hour
)

Long story, but I moved to Virginia from Colorado almost a year ago. I remember when a year was a long time, but then I also remember doing a lot of shit in a year. I moved out here to help Mom and Sister start a restaurant in So, VA Beach. I had worked in electronics for 15yrs (semiconductors....wore the head to toe cleanroom suits,...

Guess I'll update this. I've since moved from Virginia to Austin Texas, then after four years, moved to Lake Forest California, and after a few years, moved to the DFW area of Texas. Now you're all caught-up. Let's hope they stop selling of technical jobs overseas and this country gets better soon, or we won't do too well in the next fifty years.

Just some random images that make me smile. Lover's note. Male painted bunting (photo). Bird of paradise (my favorite flower) (photo). The shell (Rembrandt). Crab on it's back (van Gogh). Deer's Skull with Pedernal (O'Keeffe). Calla Lily (my other favorite flower). Southwestern Painting (W. Henry). Funny thing about the two southwestern style paintings; I've always appreciated Georgia O'Keeffe, and Will Henry's surreal depiction of tumbleweed really draws me in, but the whole "southwestern" style thing makes my skin crawl. I'm sure there's some folks that like their house all done-up like that, but I find it hard to relax in that sort of space. I guess it just gives me an unpleasant response. To me it looks thrown-together in a bad way, patterns always clash, colors are always pastel/muted to a degree that it's as if John Wayne and Sears had a love child and the house decor is the result. Funny peeve right?
Just got on here, and I love it all. I have been searching for this sort of thing for sometime. I love to sketch and paint, and my preference lately has been SG types 
no.....I won't be lifting any material from you to paint, I just like the muse part.....getting the creative process going is all that is needed....anyway, if I do happen to like...
