Not For Sale

Etsy Shop Special: Include the word "Sleep" in the notes to the seller, and get a free print with your order! [link] Your "surprise" print will be based on your purchase--in other words, if you buy a bevy of lions, I won't gift you one of my nudes!

4/11/12--Holy cow, a DD, and on a painting I love!!! Thank you so very much for all of your favorites and comments!

Dreaming while waking, from one end of the night to the other.

Thank you! I actually had to go back and tone down the hair a bit while working on this. Hair shine is one of my favorite things to paint, and sometimes I get a bit carried away :P
