Paint Party Friday Orange Beginnings

Oh here comes the best part, the background!!!! Nice big areas to just let the colors do what they want. ( hopefully some animals and muses will appear! Last week some of you commented on the star of the photo session himself. To tell ya the truth I have not seen him since he jumped free the same day and ran into a hole in our porch to hide. The pic above is taken right before he ran into the hole. We live out in the country on 10 acres so hopefully he is out and about all day and I just never see him. I have been spotting little lizard poops inside our house though so I'm wondering if he's actually living somewhere inside. We usually catch a lizard inside the house at least once a month so it could be a different one. If its him though, I wouldn't mind snatching him up for a minute just to hold him agian! I miss him! Perhaps he is hanging out to see how  his portrait is coming along. Can you just see him peeking out from under a cabinet or something? LOL! Happy PPF everyone!

    I'm loving the orange! I once had a little lizard living in my plants for a long time. He had hitched a ride in a plant that was outside for the summer. :) it freaked my cat out! haha

    Oh it's him alright - he sneaks out to see how you are getting on and makes minor adjustments when you're not looking! Such fun to see the progress week by week.

    He looks great against the back ground. I don't suppose I could pretend he is a newt and use him for N!!!!!!!

    I really like the thought of him hanging around to see his portrait - I'm sure he'd be very pleased! (I know I'm enjoying the progress)

    Right now, I'm imagining how the little guy is hanging upside down in a corner peeking at your (his) painting. He's not even blinking. And yes, he likes it.

    Now I'm picturing a fabulous children's book about a lizard who lives in an artist's home and watches his portrait develop. He is a character waiting to be born. Love the orange - thoroughly enjoying watching the stages of this!

    He is so gorgeous and your background is coming along beautifully! Looking forward to seeing more.

    BTW Could you please link to your post directly, as opposed to your blog - late visitors (like my currently very late self) arrive and have a challenge figuring out which post was for PPF. Thanks!
