What I am doing for the summer

Yeah,I am really bad about keeping my blog updated over the summer. K is home,lots of stuff going on,not a whole lot of time to paint,so not much to share usually. But I have been getting some drawings done,I have discovered that I am a sketchbook snob,and I am [...]

Ruby Slippers- WIP

I try and participate in a monthly themed exhibit most months. Some months are harder for me than others. This time I was given the theme “Ruby Slippers”. I didn’t want to go with the expected Wizard of Oz theme and to be honest I hate shoes. I should probably turn in my girl [...]

On Aquamarine Tides

Day 5 and 5 paintings. Ankle hurts and it is hard to prop it up while at the computer. So I will try and be more chatty tomorrow.

Morning Cup Fairy Cat

And here we have the second painting in my painting a day challenge. Today was all sorts of crazy with it being my daughter’s tenth birthday celebration.

Kitties! And Dragons too.

Choices,Choices,Choices

I had to get a new computer this weekend,which getting it put together and up and running,took the entire weekend. Thank you,James. So I don’t feel like I got much done at all. I did manage to pick 3 drawings from my sketchbook and ink them. But now,I am not [...]

Mommy Fairy Cat

Well Mommy is painted. And you might notice a pattern difference in Mama from my usual kitties. Up until recently I have had solid colored or basic tabby cats in my life. With the recent addition of little Willow,I think more fur patterns will be sprouting in my kitty art. This little painting was [...]
