I like that painting. It's very neat. Your gecko must be quite pretty. 3nodding

in my ultra biased opinion she is the prettiest gecko in the world lol

ive had her for a couple of years but she is my favorite reptile. ive spent alot of time working with her so she is a great pet now and comes out to greet me when i go into my room

Very cute. I love geckos. My hubby won't let me have one though.

I looked at the other pictures you had. I found one I really liked on the 1st page. The girl with the long black hair, wearing the dress with the blue bodice. It's pretty.

thats a shame, they are very wonderful little animals and very easy to care for, well, leopard geckos are at least.

and i did that picture back in highschool.

just finished my second painting of ethen.

my future mother in law wants me to paint a sea turtle for her so i need to fine a good picture of one online. she didnt tell me what species she wants me to paint though so i either need to ask or assume a loggerhead

ill post up my pic of ethen later. im lazy right now. also no more paintings of ethen for a while since im almost out of yellow and have had alot of fights with it trying to get the right shades.


ive also learned not to leave your brushes in a cup full of water for over a week (i took a long a bit of a long break mid-painting lol) all my brushes are all cracked because the wooded handles soaked up so much water xp im not too mad about it though since they were cheapy cheapy ones. i got the wntire set for $3 and the hair was falling out from day 1. ive been wanting to get some nice brushes anyways. ok so i cant aford to get nice ones, ill just settle for useable brushes lol. i just realized i have an expensive hobby XD
