Xmas Pups update

Hi all,

This is where I am at with my Xmas pup image so far, and it is coming along really well. This will be added into my series of puppy pics that I am doing, and would of been the second one, but have moved it into Ist due to the basket pups not turning out quite so well. I am really enjoying the idea of adding backgrounds/things into my pictures, as this something I really wanted to do as mentioned in a previous post ......standalone portraits are great if that is want one wants, but it is nice to be able to add in extras, create backgrounds etc. I am still not very good with landscape and perspective but it is something that I am getting to grips with.....as the old adage says"practice makes perfect".

I am finding myself increasingly spread thin when it comes to Internet stuff, and have been thinking that I am going to have do some cutbacks soon. This blog has always been central to me, to be able to share art,tips,info etc, and one that I want to continue with, as is my website as this is a place for my work to be stored, but running three blogs,two websites,and numerous other web things is driving me nuts. I need to make creating my art no 1 priority and cull some of the other things. Sadly if I am honest the AIP has not taken off as expected, I am always behind with the updates on the blog and the shop is very static.....I do hold myself responsible for that, and as I am not sure what to do with it all, I will be putting it on hold for the moment. There are some other personal things that play a part in this too, and need to be taken in consideration and I will update as I go along.
