Update: April 9th 2015

Lately Adventure Buddy has been extremely busy doing spring cleaning and fixing up his house before it gets crazy hot so we haven't been able to go on adventures. :-/ But, I have been able to do some paintings and reading. If you read Anne Bishop books, I just finished the latest book in the Others series, Vision in Silver. It was very well written and I absolutely love the characters and the plot. It really pulls you in, if you haven't read it you should. The first book in the series is called Written in Red. Definitely check it out. Now I'm starting a series by Morgan Rhodes (spelling??) the first book of the series is called Falling Kingdoms. I've only read a few chapters so far but it's very intriguing. Ok now on to the paintings. I went and bought some bigger canvases than what I usually work with. Here's what I painted:

This one is called Wolf Song. I used the glow in the dark stars and moon for the actual stars and moon and I painted them with glitter paint and then went over them with glow in the dark paint. Now they glow like actual moon and stars. The wolf's breath is glitter paint as well. For the wolf, I printed out a silhouette of this wolf on a rock howling and cut it out and traced it. I'm very proud of this piece. It's my favorite of anything I've painted so far.




This painting, I couldn't figure out what I wanted to do. The canvas is very large, a 24x36(??) I think. It had more words on it but some of the letters of the other words moved around when i painted it. Fearless was the only word that didn't have any letters move. But when I peeled the sticky letters off some of the paint went with them so...but I think it gives it a little more character. Also, it should be noted that this thing took 24 hours to dry completely! 



Now I need a black light for this painting to be all psychedelic! LOL anyway, I hope you liked my paintings. Hopefully adventure buddy will be done with his house work soon and we can go on an adventure!
