JAPAN
My eyes have been glued to the TV since Friday, watching the devastation the tsunami and earthquake has done to this country is heart-wrenching and mind-blowing. My heart goes out to all the people who have lost loved ones, their homes and everything they held dear. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you.
Wishing you all hope and comfort in the midst of this terrible disaster.
"If tears could build a stairway and memories were a lane,
We would walk all the way to Heaven, to bring you home again
No farewell words were spoken, no time to say good-bye
You were gone before we knew it, and only God knows why
Our hearts ache in sadness, and secret tears will flow
What is meant to lose you, no one will ever know"
UPDATE ON WIP
I didn't get a lot of time to work on this piece this past week. Still working on the skin. Scanned in two sections. Hope to finish this one up this week, to begin working on a miniature donation for Japan.
REFERENCES AND EXHIBITIONS
Many have wondered why I do not submit any works to any exhibitions. To be honest, it's simply because most exhibitions require you to use your own reference photos, which sometimes I do, but also I use a lot of stock images (with permission) from DA. There are many stock models on DA whom I think are fantastic and since I do not have access to a good camera (mine is need of dire service), studio or professional photography equipment at this moment, I use DA has a resource. I sometimes will use Dreamstime, Renderosity or SXC too, with permission or paid stock. Most of my own stock is flowers, landscapes and domestic animals. And I have tons of rolls of film to get a developed. Once I get my new digital camera though. I will be taking photos non-stop and hopefully won't need to rely on other resources as much.
As a semi-realist artist, I tried to get the image to look like a photo, but I also try to add my own style. When doing portrait commissions, a lot of clients want it to look exactly like the photo. So the copying of the image can be a two-edge sword, as you want to please the client. Most exhibitions don't want your piece to look at all like the reference photo, it must be totally your own unique creation.
Anyways, it's hot topic and I am in the middle. I see both viewpoints. Ann Kullberg's yearly contest is now requiring artists to use their own reference material and many other places. I won't be submitting, unless, I use maybe one of my own floral or landscape shots for a reference. It is a must for artists to attain permission to use any reference material, when creating works of art. Or if you can, work from life.
NEW ART TABLE
I just had to share my new art table. I have been working off of a mini portable art table for years now, can't tell you what a blessing it is, to be able to work on a real art table. It is so awesome. Still having problems with the kittens getting into my pencils though ^.^ I still need to get in some better lighting. I have my Ott lamp and the east window for lighting for right now, but not quite enough.

FINISHED WORK
"Winter's Cross is now finished. Medium is: color pencil, watercolor pencil and acrylic. The scan did not pick up the iridescent acrylic in the dress nor the background. I have some new zazzle products with this image available now http://www.zazzle.com/mooresart

I am now working on a new work in progress. "Bring Me To Life" inspired by a prompt at Ellen Million's Sketchfest http://www.ellenmilliongraphics.com/sketchfest/
The scan did not quite pick up the blues very well. It's more of grayish-blues. Hope to have another update in the next day or two.
GREAT RESOURCES
I often get asked, by other artists "how to price artwork" I found this wonderful blog loaded with tons of information for artists, that dealt specifically with this topic in one of it's posts. A must read!

Good morning Everyone!
It was a busy weekend for me, with the sketchfest and a houseful of people and getting ready for Christmas.
We will be taking off this year for the holidays, so I am trying to rush to get everything done this week and next.
WORK IN PROGRESS
I am almost done with my Christmas piece. I know I said that last time, but I haven't had a chance to work on it really, for the past couple of days. Here is a work in progress of it. The title is "The Star of Bethlehem" Done in watercolor, iridescent acrylics and color pencil. I just have the wings to complete and then just a tiny bit left on the background and looking at it now on the computer screen a bit on the hair as well. Hopefully, I get it done today. Reference stock from DA.
SKETCHFEST
I just had to share my sketches from Ellen Million's Sketchfest, from this past Friday and Saturday. http://www.ellenmilliongraphics.com/sketchfest/index.php I finished my very first sketch to. All in all, it was a blast and I highly recommend it for other artists. Really helps improve your skills as an artist and so many wonderful prompts, you can't help but get inspired.

Whispers of Winter
2.5" x 3.5" (ACEO)
$5 of the sale will be going to the sketchfest
Once Upon A December
Will probably either finish this in pencil or do it in watercolor/acrylics.
When I saw this prompt, I kept thinking of elves at Christmas time and a vision of a story began to pop in my head. Once upon a December day, a elf discovered a magical place, where the snowflakes glistened and were so beautiful to behold. The elf saw a castle ... well anyways the story goes on and I have a little bit more to add to the background. Stock used by deathbycanon over at DA
Well of Tears
Didn't quite get this one done. Will be part of my emotional series.
Reference stock from DA.
Gypsy of Sorrows
Didn't finish this one up either. Might be adding a wolf to the background.
Anyways, I hope you all have a great week!!!
Take Care Everyone!

Commission Finished and Cat Photo
Hey all!
Well, I finished my color pencil commission piece. The client has accepted it. I just don't know if he was truly happy with it or not. And the commission piece is going to a friend who is a photo realistic-artist. So, I think the client was looking for more of photo-realistic piece. Unfortunately, I am not a camera. I mean I can get realistic, but not hyper-realistic like some artists can. Those artists are really gifted and I admire their talent tremendously. Like Howard David Johnson http://www.howarddavidjohnson.com/pencil.htm I would love to one day take one of his online classes. To achieve his artistic mastery with color pencil, is definitely a goal of mine.
Here is a scanned image of the final work and then a digital photo of the work.
I have to say the biggest challenge of this commission was drawing the subject without the mustache. Pretty challenging, but I thought I did okay. Size of the artwork was 5 x 5.
I just had to share this photo of our kitten Taz. We found him when he was real tiny. We had to feed him by syringe til he was big enough to eat catfood. I don't know what happen to his mommy. He is so cute. We call him Taz, because he is just like the Tazmanian Devil in Looney Toons. Fast little bugger and into everything. This is a rare moment of him sleeping peacefully and not causing havoc. :)
Hope you all have a great weekend!

So getting near the end. Working on the skin, mouth area and nose area. I will go back and fix the eyes and darken the hair once I have completed the rest.

Commission Work In Progress and Art Marketing
Work In Progress:
Update on my recent commission
Working on the eyes and skin now. I see areas on the right eye and eyebrow I need to work on and still need to darken the hair a bit more. I will be saving the mouth area for the very last as it will be the most challenging part. The client wants no mustache, so I will be drawing the mouth area without the mustache.

Art Marketing:
One of the challenges of selling one's artwork is learning how to market one's work. It's exceptionally difficult in today's economy

Commission Work In Progress and Update on Procedure
Good evening everyone!
Well I made it through the procedure with no problems on Tuesday. The doctor removed polyps from the stomach and colon and did several biopsies. I won't know the results of the biopsies for about a week. However, he did not discover any reason for the pain I have been having, on my left side. So I guess now I go see an internist, to see if they can help me out.
Thank you all for your prayers. Much appreciated!! ((hugs))
Commission Work In Progress:
Here's an update of my latest work in progress. I am working on the eyes now and defining the eyebrows and ears. I see now I still need to darken up the hair a little bit more on the left side and top area. So will go back on work on that area after I finish up the eyes, eyebrows and ears.

Update on Work In Progress
Good morning everybody! I started the clear liquid diet yesterday and then began drinking the prep solution. Let me tell you that is the most terrible tasting stuff I have ever had. And there is so much of it, I almost got sick. Felt sick all night long and the bathroom was my best friend last night.. And I still have a little bit more of the prep solution I have to finish. I go in for the procedure later this afternoon, so hoping and praying that all goes well. Please include me in your prayers today. Thanks!
Commission Work In Progress:
I started working on the eyes. I will move to the eyebrows, forehead and ears. Right now I just layered down two very light layers of base coats of cream and pale peach around the eyes, forehead and ears. I want to finish up the eyes before I lay down any more layers of color.
I still can't get the scan to pick up the right colors. The hair is much darker than what it's showing. So tomorrow I will try my other scanner, to see if it makes a difference.

Work In Progress Update, New Photos, and Ebay Fraud
Good morning everyone! It's 6:50 am here. I begin my clear liquid diet today, for the colonoscopy and endoscopy on Tuesday. Asking for prayers that all goes well on Tuesday. I was in a lot of pain yesterday, but doing a little better this morning.
Commission Work In Progress:
I have a little more darkening of the hair to do and blending of the background, then I will move onto the face. The scan is not picking up the true color of the blue background or the hair exactly. I will see if I can't adjust that, next time I scan.
New Photos:
I have some new photos to share with you. I will be compiling a new floral calendar, after I finish up the commission I am presently working on.
I thought it was pretty interesting, because the majority of the frauds are ACEOs done in color pencil or painting over prints. I didn't realize this was happening on ebay. I don't know if any of the collectors realize it either.
I have been told, there is a way to tell if it is a painting over a print or drawing over a print, just hold it up to the light and you will see lots of pink/magenta dots from the printer.
I also thought this was pretty interesting tol "eBay Refuses to Enforce Their Own Policy - What makes this especially frustrating, is that it extends beyond copyright infringement and art fraud. The use of celebrity images violates eBay's own policy. According to eBay's Faces, Names and Signatures policy: "Sellers are not permitted to list an item containing the image, likeness, name, or signature of another person unless the product was made or authorized by that person."
Correct me if I am wrong, this would mean you would have to get a model release or some sort of signed contract. There are many artists that create celebrity/movie ACEOs and sell them on ebay. I don't think many of them realize it's a copyright infringement, unless they get permission to do so.

"Refuge of Hope" Finished and Updates
Well, I finally finished up "Refuge of Hope" a dedication to this month's Breast Cancer Awareness, to all the breast cancer survivors, to all the women who are fighting breast cancer and to two time breast cancer survivor http://junkbyjen.deviantart.com/ and her yearly Think Pink contest.
Prints are available at my DA page here http://mooresart.deviantart.com/#/d315661
I will be selling the original unframed for $100.00 and 20% of the sale will be going to the Susan G. Komen.
Contact me at info@mooresartgallery.com if you are interested in purchasing it.
I had quite a scare yesterday. I went into the hospital last week for a mammogram, the hospital called yesterday and wanted to do further testing, as something looked suspicious. Well today found out the results are benign. Praise the Lord!
With everything that is happening to me lately, medically, I am beginning to feel like Job in the Bible. But even though Job had so many troubles, he remained steadfast in his faith and love for God and he persevered. An example we all should follow. Even though times are at it's hardest, and satan keeps throwing burdens at us left and right, there is always hope and God will never let us bear, more than what we can handle.
Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord and has made the
Lord his hope and confidence.

Update On New WIP 5
She's starting to come to life now. Decided to stick with a limited palette, as I wanted the pink to be the main focus. October is the month for Breast Cancer Awareness. This is my dedication for Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer http://www.komen.org/ and two time breast cancer survior Jen http://junkbyjen.deviantart.com/
I will be putting this up for bid on ebay after completed, and a % of the sale will be going to Susan G. Komen.
Working on the body and face. Will get back to the wings later.

New Work In Progress and my dog Remi
Started a new work in progress last week. I am presently working on the hair. I am still trying to decide whether or not to leave this to a limited palette or not.
This is my dedication piece for the "Think Pink V" contest, Jen http://junkbyjen.deviantart.com/
who is hosting the contest, is a breast cancer survivor. To read more about the contest check it out here http://news.deviantart.com/article/124648/
This is going to be a hard week for all of us, as we are going to have to put down our beloved yellow lab, Remi. We have had her since she was a puppy. She is now 13 years old and her bladder and kidneys are failing. So we decided this Thursday, we will be putting her down. It's the hardest thing to do, to put down a member of the family. And she is like family. Wish we could do it earlier, but payday isn't til then. I am going to be balling all week and I am going to miss her so much. I am balling right now. We did everything together - we went on walks together, we did the chores around the farm together, we went on car trips/rides together. I will be doing a dedication drawing for the best dog ever ~ Remi
Hope you all have a great week and thanks for looking!

New Sketches and Feeling Terrible
Good morning everyone!
Well, I didn't make it to church this morning. I am feeling terrible. I started taking a new antibiotic last night, that the doc prescribed and not feeling well at all. I can't put off the gastroenterologist anymore. Next payday I need to make an appointment and get into see him. Every time, I take an antibiotic it starts to hurt my stomach and the protonix is not helping. Only this time I am feeling pressure on my chest. But the pain in my kidney is continuing, just not as bad and the pain in my stomach has gotten worse.
So I will be making this post short.
I just had to share my latest sketches from Ellen Millions September's Sketch Fest held on Friday and Saturday http://ellenmilliongraphics.com/sketchfest/index.php
It was a lot of fun. Wish I was faster. Some amazing entries.
I was able to do more drawings this time. Three of them I am really happy with how they turned out. They need more work and I plan to do all three in color pencil. I have to start working on my other two sketches first from a prior sketch fest first. I just started my Think Pink V dedication piece. I will be sharing my work in progress by the end of the week.
Hope you all have a great week!

I have to start working on my other two sketches first from a prior sketch fest first. I just started my Think Pink V dedication piece. I will be sharing my work in progress by the end of the week.
Hope you all have a great week!
