OK, let’s get the painting out of the way first. This is my personal favorite from the “New Hope” series so far. The colors are much brighter in person and it has very good balance. I’m beyond thrilled with how it turned out. Having said that, I’ve probably jinxed myself and it will end up selling for about 12 bucks.

The newest copycats on eBay are going all out to make a sale. One has decided to include photos from the process…how very classy! I especially like how most of the photos are blurred photos from the process and not of the painting itself. One of them violated PhotoBucket’s terms of service. I also like that she chose to use canvas board instead of actual canvas.
ATTENTION ALL COPYCATS! Canvas board is for practice use only…it warps with the slightest bit of moisture. At least try to pretend like you have some artistic skill.
The other copycat has created a “gallery” of breast paintings to create the illusion that she’s been painting them for more than 2 weeks. She’s a clever one; I’ll give her that. And as for the 3rd and 4th breast painting copycats, well…their paintings are really not worth mentioning. I’d be too embarrassed to list anything that looks like them, but hey…what do I know?
HEY ROBIN! Took this one just for you. 
OK, and for everyone wanting a Koopa update…here he is, making the biggest mess ever. Normally he gets some fresh fruits and veggies mixed into his “box turtle dry formula,” but I just cleaned out the fridge and haven’t gone grocery shopping yet. So, he went digging for the real food…
Sorry Koopa. Going food shopping tomorrow.
I'm an Internet-based (anxiety-ridden) abstract artist residing in Connecticut. I'm best known for my breast paintings, which I've been offering sporadically since 2001. You may also be familiar with my work with Koopa, the world's 1st professional painting turtle (now enjoying early retirement.) I'm currently spending lots of time creating photographs, beaded jewelry and poetry too!

Robin – Nes is more useful for indoor tasks such as doing the dishes and well…doing the dishes. Yeah, that’s about it. Good thing too, because I absolutely hate bending over the sink, waiting for the soap to rinse off. Hurts my back. I do all of the other housework because Nes is always hiding under blankets and I never think to look there.
Are you INSANE for wanting a pic of this filthy turtle? Ewwww! I will send it to you though…
XOXO

Robin – Nes likes Dallas Cowboys blue and silver, but I don’t think we need any more blankets. I feel as if I should be sending YOU blankets for actually commenting on my posts!
