Wowie, Kimbers, the second piece looks very realistic! I had to take a second and third look just to make sure.
You really did a bang up job for the studio, Girly, Congratulations! I'm so impressed that I'm a gonna submit it to StumbleUpon for the rest of the gang to admire. So there take that!

Kim, I got so caught up in the fairies, I just noticed you in the mirror taking pics of the Degas...love it...also, very beautiful!!! I am so sorry that it is freezing on your side of the earth...I forget that we are in opposite seasons...stay warm...:)))
thanks Amy
ah yes that's me hiding behind the camera lol and spookily enough I think there is a silhouette of Degas with a camera (in the mirror) in the 2nd Degas panel...doo doo doo
enjoy your Sunday...at least the sun is shining here :)
Hi Kim,
Wow it's so good to hear from you. I have missed it all very much.
Yes a new avatar. I thought it just might be time to expose the real me!
Your work is just stunning. Wow I am going to get my easel out and get back to work also.
That along with setting up a studio and taking mine and Walter's work commercial is some what overwhelming...but, it is our dream!
I am so happy for you too. everything seems to be going very well for you...excellent!!
I see Marzie has a new blog and I haven't even had time to visit her at her other blogs yet.
I better get over there and get her new blog linked in too!!
Ha,ha,ha, Speedy stole my jukebox idea...so I just went over and stole his jukebox image and added it to my latest post...lol!!
Oh Kim I am so excited but so so scared and nervous too. This is a huge risk for Walter and me. I had no clue just how much it was going to take to go to commercial...wish us luck!!
Got to run and say hello to some others.
Big hugs,
Jackie:-)
Oh yes is it still Sunday there or have you already switched to Monday?
Either way I hope you had a great weekend!!
Wow Kim, that is awesome.

Hi Kim - I love how the Degas are looking, and I totally understand how long it is taking. Whenever I think something will be nice and quick, it always seems to take the longest.
Illustrations, for me, take FOREVER...and I'll never make the mistake again of thinking they'll be "quick" and I can work on them in between paintings. Ha! Looking forward to the next installation.
