My journey from a technical and strict discipline of forensic and composite art to fine art. I'm trying to unfurl my wings to fly into this new field but I'm still struggling to get out of my cocoon!

This is Thizz....
8x10 oil on RayMar board
This is "Thizz" . A memorial piece for a friend's "first baby" as she describes him.
Sheila, your work with texture and line really express the kind and loving nature of this beautiful "child." I'm sure this will become a treasured possession.
This is cute! And I'm fine thank you, unfortunately I have not been as productive as I would have liked to be over the summer - especially when moving around and having to work so much - to be honest I can't wait to start my uni course again in two weeks and get some art going!! How are you?!
Wow, Sheila, your "Canine Canvas" just keeps getting better and better. And I'm tickled you submitted for Michelle's western challenge...you talent always holds up to any artists I've seen around. And the photo of you as dat l'il cowgirl?.....abolutely priceless!!!!!!
Sheila, this is a fantastic portrait. I really like seeing that little bit of bluegreen in the background and then seeing the touches of blue in Thizz's fur; very well done!!
Bandit wants to know when HIS portrait will be posted. He wants to be part of that rogues gallery that everyone is admiring!
Sheila, your abilities are amazing. Your use of bright colors, lively brushwork and, most of all, your intense ability to present the personality of a being through their eyes and body language is unusual as well as unique.
