Hey All, I realized I hadn't wrapped this one up and that you might like to see it in its final form. I have added colored pencils to finish out the shading and details. I used a reference photo of a grizzly bear to make the color...

The social worker called to tell me that the insurance company was going to stop paying on Monday. I told her that we would not be taking him home; so she said that the business office would be calling me to set up payment for...

LindaOH @AliCanary He only had 2 choices of a relatively decently rated place because insurance didn't cover the rest. The other choice was the last place he was in. He didn't like it. Since we are paying we possibly could get into a place that didn't accept his...

Four Walls @AliCanary — I’ve mentioned it before, he was averaging an album every six months between 1971 and 1976, and most of it was GREAT. Kiki Dee wrote “Sugar on the Floor,” and here’s Elton’s version. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEhE0LwuRvs

I am generally not a loyal consumer but once I came across thums up, I kinda stuck to the softdrink. It was acquired by coca cola but it was earlier an indigeneous brand!! I tried all other soft drinks but did not like them to...

As I painted from the darkest colors to the lightest, I also took the opportunity to do a color correction. As you can see in the reference photo to the left, the sunlight coming from the right side of the picture is casting a...

The photo has nothing to do with the discussion. My last discussion was about the family of Joseph-Ignace Guillotin wanting to change their name. This made me think about other names that are a bit unusual. Vince and I often say...

Abhijit Bangal @AliCanary Oh my god, that's really interesting information... I could never imagine the change in the names were because of reasons like not being able to pronounce or spell... But I must agree, I couldn't pronounce "Szymkiewicz" in the first go. And neither...

The next step in the illustration process was to establish the base colors with marker. The client had chosen specific colors for the bear's fur, the captain's jacket, breeches, boots, and hat, so it was really just a matter of...

LindaOH @AliCanary Remember that billion dollar lottery? You could donate a ton to St. Jude's Hospital and many other charities. I would also send a bunch to our local animal shelter and Humane Society.

pumpkinjam @AliCanary yes, it is. Even with the transport options provided, there is still a good walk to the castle itself. I did find out later that you can arrange transport to get you closer, and there is means to help people with disabled. That wouldn't have been...
