Greetings everyone!
I hope you are doing well today! This post is going to be a little bit longer because I need to include some updates! I want to say sorry in advance, I feel need to include it all in this one post because in the next three to four days I will be very busy and will not have online time!
First of all, as always I want to say thank you for your continuous support on my Patreon! Your help really means a lot and I'm grateful for being able to make enough living from art. It's a pleasure to create and be creative so that I can share these fine arts for you guys, truly a pleasure! <3
Alright, let's talk about this scene first before we go into the updates and our October poll result!
Our shepherd is in trouble! We know that he is a curious soul, in this spooky month there are carved pumpkin all over the place and he couldn't resist to check out some that he saw in the forest nearby. Of course, he had to try to stick it in one too (duh!) and now he's stuck!
The collie, which was nearby heard his shepherd calling, the collie rushes to his love, only to find out that he's being silly (again). In this drawn scene, we see the collie trying to wiggle out the shepherd's knot out of the carved pumpkin. Of course he himself couldn't resist but to giggle and have his own stiffen up, it's a... natural reaction. :D
Thanks for viewing! I had this kind of idea in mind, I think it's cute to see our couple acting silly once in a while, let me know what you guys think, ok? ^^
That'd be all for the drawing description, now for the updates!
===============================
My dear Patrons, I've been keeping track of my schedule regarding the art gallery construction and the next exhibition test.
I bought a couple of LED flood lights that I'll be using as a 'spotlight' for the display panels. It's super bright and affordable! I decided to go with the LED ones because it's more energy efficient, the spotlights dedicated for gallery use are very expensive and most of stuff I see uses halogen, halogen lights are less efficient than LED and it's kind of yellowy in colors (warm white). xD
Anyway, recently I received another blessing that allows me to purchase the remaining building materials I need to complete my art gallery. This changes the course of my plan for October construction. So.. not only I'll be installing the new set of lights, I think I'll be adding more of the display panels so that I can put more of my artworks and large paintings on it! ^^
Today a portion of the materials arrived, oh.. I also bought a sheet of thick glass, it's for the tree that is inside the gallery (I love trees), I'm going to place the sheet of glass around it, consider it as a decoration. :D
Below are the preview pictures of the plan I need to do.

I also make another Google Drive folder for October 2022 Art Gallery construction so you guys can check out individual WiP photos! Please do visit the link when you have the time, all of the detailed pictures and also my spending is in there to assure that the budget I received both from Patreon, commissions, and donation goes to this Gallery Project!
