I have been reading about vikings lately and I can assure you that this image is completely, totally historically wrong. But, when ya wanna draw viking girls, what can you do? I have a whole little story brewing for them in my head. We’ll see if it goes anywhere. I don’t know if I’ll be able to paint it this week. We are leaving for NY on friday and packing for 5 takes me at least 3 days. 
Ever since we moved, I have been working in the playroom, usually sitting next to the fence while the boys run rampant. It has worked for a while but the hubby decided I needed my own space to work. He planned out a studio in the basement sitting area and I have to admit that is is pretty darn awesome to have a space I can call my own. (click to enlarge)
My favorite thing so far is this mirror:

All I need now is a wire and clips to hang up finished drawings and paintings. Another thing I want, is this print by Gustav Klimt:
this is a little bit closer to the actual color.
After consulting with a friend and the hubby, I wanted to try my usual watercolor background instead of the digital one color.
Not sure which one I like better……
Not only was my pal, Leeza, the portfolio showcase winner but she has a beautifully designed, in progress, page of notes. Go here.
