I've been surviving on my digital art software since late August, ever since the main level of the house was transformed into a state of post-apocalyptic confusion.  I'm hoping that as soon as our kitchen remodel is done I'll again have enough space to do some "real" painting...

The good news is some progress is being made on our house renovation.

The bad news all my painting paraphernalia are packed up (as of now, in the living room, which is jammed full of all sorts of things, even our new kitchen sink).  So it's back to some digital art.

I created this and some upcoming ones I will post with the idea that it might be a potential e-book cover; it's supposed to meet Amazon's Kindle formatting requirements (I hope!).  I'm just experimenting at this point. The possibility of self-publishing (my own version of paranormal romance) has been on my mind for a while.  We'll see...
