Do you remember this post showing a painting I had just started?  Well here it is done!  It changed quite a lot and I had to fight with it a bit, but those are the ones I usually end up liking the most.  It will be available soon.

I have a very sick kid at home (day 4 with super high temp=no fun, poor kid).  So while we watch every Harry Potter movie (again, again and again) I have been sitting here finding all sorts of stuff I now want.   The list includes:
