Well, I’ve had wicked bad luck the last few weeks so after we saw Oz the Great and Powerful this character seemed appropriate to draw. After nearly two weeks, four phone calls, three separate guys out here and a brand new router and wiring our Internet is sorta, sometimes back up to speed after the phone company tinkered with the box in our backyard while burying a new line for our neighbor.

I am multitasking tonight, helping R1 study Spanish while painting. I’m not sure either is getting my complete attention, but I am picking up some Spanish after so many drills, LOL!
