Elephant Shark

There was a great white shark attack in San Diego this morning. A veterinarian was swimming and unfortunately a shark mistook him for a seal. However, the seal was happy, and since the man was a vet, he might have wanted the seal to stay happy.

This is an elephant shark, its really nice looking, I kind of can't imagine its real.

cupcake of the month

This is the cookie of the month to send to Albuquerque, but its really a cupcake. I've had a craving for carrot cake for about two months now. I need a fix, so I am going to make these ginger carrot cupcakes with cream cheese frosting. mmm deliciousness, except I'm not sure they will really look this fancy.

I seriously can't wait to paint the redhead kid...

My next painting is going to be the scene from Swiss Family Robinson where they all race on the ridiculous plethora of island animals. "Mommy, can I keep the baby elephant?" omg!
