My New Etsy shop

Hello, I thought I would post about my new Etsy shop. So far I only have one print available (see below) but you have to start somewhere. I will be adding more items to it as time permits.

Now I am going to watch the first Mission Impossible movie and be glad this week is over!

Thanks for stopping by.

New Paintings

Hello,

I've done a few paintings this month, this first one is acrylic on a 12x6 inch Ampersand Panel, complete with grooves on the back for hanging.

I have broken out my watercolors again and am using them together with ink pens. The first one is standard ACEO size (2.5x3.5") and the second is a small (2.25x2.25") square.

Last but not least is one of my NFAC entries this month, theme: Fabulous Felines. I drew my pretty Fluffy cat.

Thanks for stopping by!

Spring is finally getting here!!

Winter is finally gone I think, although I wouldn't be surprised with another freak snowstorm. haha This will probably be my last snow painting until the end of the year, but you never know, I may be inspired to paint snow when I am complaining about the summer heat.

Back to my painting, it is of 'Tabby Cat' who hangs out by my house, she was under a truck in my driveway staring out over the mound of snow. She was waiting for food and for me to shovel her a path so her dainty feet wouldn't have to touch the snow. I was happy to oblige.

I was inspired to do a portrait this week and chose to do a drawing of my Grandfather, aka 'Pop', from 1916. He was a very handsome man and only 19 in this picture. I haven't done a human portrait in awhile and would like to start doing more.

I filled out the census form and will mail it out today, something I have been putting off.

Well I better get going! Thanks for stopping by.

Sneak Peek at new painting

Hello, I am posting my newest 11x14 acrylic painting. I hope to get a better scan tomorrow and will be listing it on eBay. Now I am off to dreamland and I hope when I wake up the bad weather will have gone. It was raining and super windy all day.

Zazzle Keds shoes Contest

Zazzle is having a Keds shoe design contest so I put my 'Lattice Cats' painting on a pair. I think they turned out pretty well!

You can view more angles of them here.

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by.

Horse and Rats painting

I had actually started this painting years ago and decided to add rats to it to jazz it up, plus the stable door has been reworked to look a little fancier. Sometimes paintings just need to sit until the right inspiration hits.

I call this 'Three Pals' and it is listed on eBay.

It looks like it going to be a nice weather week in NJ so it will be nice to work without shivering.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

Charcoal drawings and acrylic painting

I haven't blogged much this February, it has just been so cold, snowy and depressing I didn't have it in me. We just got over (I hope) a 2 day snow storm and now that the roads are clear and walks are shoveled (thanks to my wonderful neighbors!) I feel a bit human again.

I am going to post some new art done in charcoal. In my teens charcoal was what I did most, then I went to art school where I learned to use watercolor, acrylics and oils, among other things. I taught myself colored pencils a few years back and have been using them almost exclusively for the past few years. Now I felt like just sketching and here are some of them, which are for sale on eBay.

I also painted my cat Puggy on a wooden door hanger, He look's to be saying 'Come Back Later' so that is what I titled this.

 

Thanks for looking and have a great day.
