So now we are clear on what size art piece, pricing, and what I am willing to draw for you... lets discuss payment and other important matters -

*I only accept Paypal

*After discussing and confirming with me on what you'd like for me to draw via email. I will only begin on your drawing once I receive full payment.

*I will do my very best to take from your words and conjure up an image in my head in the style I typically create.
*There will be about 2-3 days allowed of free-form sketching on your drawing and I will send you a scanned photo of the sketch when I feel it is completed and ready to be inked in. During this 2-3 day time period you are welcome to make slight changes or new additions to the drawing. But ONLY during this time period.

*Please allow at least 2-3 weeks for me to fully complete your commission. I will keep you updated via email on the drawing's progress.

*Art will be mailed in a clear protective sleeve and put in a sturdy "do not bend" cardboard mailers with a tracking number provided.

*I can mail to most all U.S States. If you are outside of the U.S, shipping will be a bit higher. Feel free to message me and see if we can work something out.

*Please, before you email me, I ask that you have a good idea of what you want and have your heart set on the art you'd like me to draw. * Time is precious to us all.

Springtime in my backyard - Its almost scary!

Its a bit early springtime in Texas here. I took a stroll through the backyard and took my camera to document a few pretty, odd, and wild things.

First photos are of the beautiful water lillies blooming in the pond. I'm really proud of them! I don't believe its ever been this many blooms. Maybe the recent heavy rains have encouraged them. As the temperature gets steadily warmer I plan to rejuvenate this pond which is many many years old both with fish and other aquatic life as well as more aquatic plants. Right now there are a lots of first and second generation comet goldfish living in it.
Plant life includes; Water lillies, Water Iris, and Horsetail





The "Hot-Lips" are blooming! :-)



And this darling little lizard was sun-bathing himself on the fence rail. He look so peaceful.


I love his spiny scales!



Yes... The far backyard is a bit lush and green. A big jumbled mess of excited fresh spring weeds, grass, flowers and clovers all fighting to grow bigger and outcompete the others..



Work needs to be done! :-) Till next time
