Two Tubby Tabby Cats Swinging From a Tree

Here is my latest painting. I think these little kitties might just be making it into a book. I made up a nonsense rhyme after the one of the cats leaping over the sun, and this is the illustration for the second verse.

2 New Paintings to the Website

It’s My Seat Now
4×6″ Acrylic on Watercolor Paper
For those moments when you get up from your favorite seat to refresh that cup of coffee only to come back to find the seat has refilled as well. But with mans best friend laying there looking half smug and half innocent as if he has no idea what “get out of my chair” meant.

Cat and Stars
4×6″ Mixed Media
this one is one of those conservation paintings I am working on. As in to make what I have last as long as possible, because I don’t get to buy new supplies for 6 months.
I did the painting on watercolor paper, cleaning my brush on a scrap peice of watercolor paper instead of a rag as I went along. Then I cut the cats out with an exacto knife and the stars from the scrap paper with a hole punch. They were then mounted to a piece of handmade paper. Fun Gold accents too.

Things are looking a little different around here

If you look around, you might notice a few changes.

Okay complete redesign might be a better description. The best part is that you can now view my website in most any browser.

You can now also buy art directly off the web site.

As I add art to the website, I am deleting it from eBay. Soon no more eBay store!

Part of me is excited about it. Part of me is a bit sad.

I got my start on eBay several years ago.

My first exploration in selling my creative expressions was selling hand crafted crazy quilt bags. They actually did rather well. But after my daughter was born, I no longer had a sewing room and I took up drawing again to stay sane. At the time it was mandalas. First ink drawings, then I pulled out those prismacolors that I used to work with in college and then watercolors and acrylics. That went so well, that I began to expand my subjects and mediums. Built up my confidence enough to start with the festivals. I had a lot of fun at those and did well. Gallery owners began to find me at the festivals as well.

So much has happened with my art in the last several years. And eBay was the start of it. But it seems that I have outgrown it in some ways. Maybe outgrown isn’t the right word. But it just doesn’t seem to be as good a fit for me as it was once upon a time.

So my next step is to focus on this site. I have had it for years. But I really haven’t explored making it work. This is it.

I hope you enjoy!
