Progress is being made!

I have been working on this piece since Sept. 29, 2010. It is my goal to finish it by Sept. 29, 2011...don't know if I'll make it, but I AM getting closer to the end. ;)

I decided to do the wildflowers in the foreground with beads to make them pop. So far I'm liking how it's turning out.

Grand Champion!

The Stellar's Jay piece pictured in the previous post won Grand Champion in my local county fair. :)
