Bearded Dragon

This is a photo of my friend’s Bearded Dragon and I played around with digitally watercoloring it. Yes, I know watercoloring is not a word. I think it should be. lol

I’m on ch 13 of 30 chapters of Silence of the Wolf proofing and then have another 10 for the novella, so getting there!

We’re supposed to only have a slight chance of rain this morning, so we’re going to get our chores done early. Maybe walk, and then be home this afternoon if the storms hit. They might come around 2 and we’ll just stay in then.

We had another 3″ of rain yesterday. Chances of rain are high Saturday again, but it looks like we’re going to have a drying out spell for the next couple of days. The ground is saturated, the ponds way up, so we could use a little drying out.

I’m hoping to get some more proofing done today and also work with my granddaughter on workbooks too. I didn’t tell her a schedule for today, because I didn’t know how the weather would be. And if I told her one, she would be bugging me to do it, even if I changed my mind.

It’s really foggy this morning and it’s already warm. Tomorrow it will be in the 90’s and the next day also. The heat is on.

Well, I’m off! Have to feed the dogs, the birds, and my granddaughter when she gets here. She always wants to eat at my house–different foods.

Have a super duper day!

More Pets in Digital Watercolor

I spent the day working on Billionaire yesterday and I’ll be doing the same today. I’m about halfway through edits. Hoping something will give me an idea an I can finish the story when I get to the end.

We’re supposed to have rain this morning, well, on and off all day, but when it’s light enough out, I plan to walk if it’s not raining. I spent all morning yesterday working on photos for my daughter or for others and then all afternoon and night on Billionaire. I’m hoping to finish it up today. But if I don’t, I have to run errands tomorrow, so not sure how much work I’ll get done on the book. Then Tuesday, I’ll have most of the day to work on it, if it’s not done by then.

I had to start printing out pages to edit because it just makes it easier to see mistakes at this point. I had moved some scenes around and when I did that, some comments were out of order, references to things that hadn’t happened yet, so was fixing those and other minor tweaks. It really helped to put the book aside for about a week so that I could look at it with fresh eyes.

In this one, I have the original photo my friend sent to me, and then I added the texture background, then did a Topaz Labs Impressionist painting on it. Above, I have one that I did the watercolor on. Smudge is a character in Tambra’s books and her own dog, so that was fun to do.

Okay, I’m off to work! Have a wonderful day!!!

Rain and More Digital Photo Art

I was on my way to my granddaughter’s school when I saw this and hoped we’d make it before it let loose–again. It had already poured rain in that area and the roads were filled with huge areas of water. It floods easily along those roads. That dark area looks like a mountain but it’s all dark rain.

Getting a slow start on my morning! We had 5 inches of rain yesterday. Of course it really let loose when I was trying to get my granddaughter into her house and we both got soaked. Lightning all around, one right overhead as we drove to her place. Wild day.

I was glad I walked to the ponds yesterday. Not only did I see a beautiful great white heron, but I found a baby turtle I had to rescue. He had gotten mixed up and was making his way across the grass to the sidewalk away from the pound. I carried him to the pond set him next to the water and he went right in. Yes! There’s where it is! If I hadn’t taken my walk, he might not have found his way home.

I’ve just been doing edits on the 3 books so far, not really getting anywhere much on word count, but once I reach the end, I’ve got to do something. Go back to Billionaire and finish it up or continue on with one of the stories. It just depends on what I can come up with. But I was also doing a lot of digital watercolors for friends.

I’m off to feed the dogs and then take a walk. It’s cool this morning after all the storms. We have rain coming in again this morning and we’re already under flood warnings.

Have a super great day! I need to get to work!

Memorial Digital Watercolors for Pets

Well, I opened up requests to do digital watercolors for fans on Facebook and so here are some that I have done. They’re fun to do. The first two are memorial pictures, the others are not. Baby, sneaking under the fence, is my neighbor’s dog and I think she’s passed though.

I need to walk this morning though. We’re supposed to get rain at 7 and it’s 6:50, so I might not make it. 74% chance by 8. But they say things like that and then we have no rain for hours, or it comes early, so what do they know? And if I put it off, then I will be annoyed with myself. lol It’s already very warm and muggy and getting hot today.

I was fighting with myself about taking my camera yesterday, and I took it, knowing I’d be disappointed if I saw something picture worthy and didn’t take it. Sure enough, I found a beautiful great blue heron in the pond, so I took several pictures of it.

Okay, so this guy sees me taking pictures of the heron. So what does he do? Comes straight at us with his dog. Now, the bird and I are way off the beaten path. Most people just walk along the sidewalk and they hopefully clean up their dogs’ messes on the grass beside the walkways. He could have waited to walk his dog in our direction, if he just HAD to walk his dog where I was. But nope. Most everyone I meet are super friendly and really nice.  If I had seen someone taking pictures like that, I would never have done that! Still, I’m thinking he could go in a book. Some people just need to be character analyzed further. If he’d been a kid, I would have understood. The kid would have wanted to get closer to the heron to see it, or chase it off.

I managed edits on You Had Me at Cougar and Angel Fae and Bear in Mind, still trying to come up with a story for the Christmas anthology. It needs to be a mystery. He’s a homicide detective, but it doesn’t have to involve dead bodies. You need an overwhelming, obsessive goal for the character and his is wanting to be turned into a wolf shifter. He works with them now, but nobody wants to turn him. So I need to just come up with the rest of the story. lol

Hope you all have a great day! My dogs want to be fed. And I need to get out and walk.
