The Aunt Project

This is what I've been up to this whole week I call it the Aunt Project. Recently my aunt's dog passed away and her other one is really sick. My brother, I would say little brother but he's taller than me, comes up with the idea that I should paint our aunt a picture. This was a great idea so I got to it. I did a thumbnail for the sketch, after that I sketched it out and inked it up, and lastly painted it. I used pastel watercolor pencils so as you can see it's kind of sketchy and needs some work plus I used one brush for the entire painting which was good but had its limitations. It was my first time using it which was frustrating at times because I had no clue what I was doing but it turned out ok. So here it is the Aunt Project. Also I bought some more brushes which were on sale Saturday and framed it for her which was good and only cost me $6.00, thank you Hobby Lobby. I just wanted to say if you have a talent don't keep it to yourself. Well that's it for now, I'm working on something for my cousin & I'll show y'all later.

Christmas Party

Yesterday was an interesting day. It started off with me going to work where I met my favorite team since birth the Atlanta Falcons. It took them forever to show up but it was cool I talked to them for however long I had to talk to them before they had to get on a plane & head to San Francisco to face the 49ers, hopefully they win even though their season hasn't lived up to the hype. After that I came home & met with my family for the annual Christmas Party. This party started long before I was born. It started when my cousin, Doug, won a ham at his school & decided to share it with us. It was a way to bring the cousins together & it's been going on strong for almost over 20 years. I love it, it's always great to see my cousins & it's gotten to the point where I get to see my second generation of cousins that I forget are my second cousins. But no matter what I make sure I try not to miss one, there are times where I'd cancel things with people just so I can go to the party. I didn't take as many pictures, these are mainly on my down time when we weren't doing anything. Here are some of the pictures: 

I like the last picture my cousin was tired as heck. We had it over our house this year & man it was a lot of preparing & cleaning up to do I wouldn't wish that much stress on my worst enemy. Overall it was great but I'm back to practicing now. Currently working on that Lebron Lion so I'm gonna get back to work. Talk to y'all later.
