In the darkness she laid there, not daring to move. All was quiet now. She bravely opened one eye and then the next. The artist gasped…the holidays were over! Somehow she survived all the holiday cheer and hub bub. She dragged herself out of the pile of joy and excitement of the holidays and looked around. The world was back to what it was before, but something was missing. What was it? She had to think but only a moment until she realized what she had forgotten. Her website, her art online!
“AH NUTS!!” she exclaimed. She was so focused on buying gifts, taking family here and there, hosting parties, making holiday crafts, and trying to get a painting done, that she pushed her online duties to the side. The artist admit she enjoyed every minute of the holidays, in fact it has been years since she had this much fun! But now she has her work to do, and yes she enjoys it as well and is happy to post her newest piece that took WAY longer than it should have!

Winter Stroll-Watercolor painting on Arches Hot Press watercolor paper. Painting by Lizzy D
All narrating aside, sorry for the long wait but yes, the holidays took over. I had a lot of fun but I was also stressed out about various things-like this painting “Winter Stroll”. I had started her in November and the more I worked on it the more mistakes I made and as much as I thought I could “make it work” I realized I had to start over from scratch. Definitely the wiser choice and I think my favorite thing about this painting (other than the trees, LOVE THE TREES!) is how the little dragon is giving his friend a love rub like a cat and causes no injury with his horns. That is love right there guys!
Some awesome news to the side, I now have stuff on Redbubble! Here is a link for your pleasure: http://www.redbubble.com/people/lizzy-d . I don’t have a lot on there for now, but still, pretty cool right? Also know that I do have my own shop as well and the pretty gal and her dragon will be joining my store as well. And last but not least I’ll be having art on display at rustcon here in Washington this weekend 16-18th, so if you are going don’t forget to check the art show there.
