Be Mused Art

Yes, I was supposed to be working on the Beach Play mercat, I even got it inked. But while taking some time to sort my studio clutter, I came across this interesting little precut mat board. So I grabbed it when I headed out to Cafe Brazil for lunch. I sketched [...]

I was busy over the weekend. I felt like I was mostly running around and putting out fires. Probably because Saturday featured going to visit my grandfather and trying to get his computer up and running and then drilling my college age son about having all necessary school supplies and keeping organized.

I know I haven’t posted in awhile. I had been working on an angel pet portrait that was commissioned. Due to it being a gift for someone, I didn’t think it would be nice to post my WIP of it. But I will be sure and post the final painting after [...]

These are the 3 fun stamps based on my artwork that came out today at Queen Kat Designs. We have a fairy cat, a kitty with a cup of tea and the frozen dragon. I am also very excited that I now have enough stamp designs at QKD that I have my own [...]

Here we have the beginning of colors for the painting. The colors were based on a cat of a friend. I painted it grey in all the appropriate places then used a very light wash of yellow ochre over the entire kitty to give it a warmer creamier effect to the colors, which [...]
