Double Trouble

Happy Hump Day!

 We are making some progress around out house this week.  We used to have a pond in our backyard,  it sounds really nice but it just bread mosquitos and it took a lot of work to maintain. Last summer, we decided to tear it out.   Connor and I were able to dismantle all the pond parts and dig up the tarp that kept the water from seeping into the ground.  It left a deep hole in our backyard. The hole sat all last summer...winter...spring.... We were not excited about the work required to fill it in.  We broke down and ended up paying two eager, strong men to fill in the pond and garden in our backyard.  As of today, it is mostly full!!   We will need to get some top soil to level it off... but there is no longer a huge hole in our yard!   I love progress!

Speaking of progress.... I feel like I'm making some of my own.  I'm always trying to push myself to be a better artist.  I read, practice, read some more... practice... well you get the idea.  It never ends.  I'm always inspired by other artists and it pushes me to keep growing.  I saw this idea to use this fairy image, but crop her off the side of the card.  I thought it was adorable.  I had to try it.  I made two versions of it.


The pink is the easier version, the purple is more complex copic combos.  Which one do you like better?
