There was love...

My painting for the day! A girl with a heart-shaped face, makes a heart with her hands as her two cherished kittens look over her shoulders.

Girls and Cats

Whether they be angels or pretend fairies, or bunny rabbits, they seem to be my theme for the week, and I'm ok with that. =)


I'll apologise in advance for having such short posts on my blog, but on this computer (art computer) the keyboard's letters a, q, and z don't work. I literally have to type and use ctrl + v to paste my a's or the other two (thankfully aren't used as fre...you get the idea). It's a pain to say the least and one day I plan to buy a new keyboard. lol

Happy Saint Patrick's Day

I hope you all have a happy and safe day. This year we decided not to go to Kell's for our annual celebration. The weather has been just too 'peh' and frankly, we just didn't want to go downtown. So staying in and painting was on the menu for today!


Finished this morning, my latest painting is of Cecilia and Cecil. Both with black hair and green eyes (I'm partial to both as I too have black hair and green eyes), they felt they were an instant match!

Back I go to finish another painting. =P

They Were Both A Little Shy...

8" x 10" Canvas/Mixed Media

My latest painting. I wasn't sure exactly where this painting was going to go until I painted their faces. It just seemed that the body language was a bit shy. Probably something from within coming out. I'm terribly shy unless I know you, then I'm the complete opposite. This stems from being cursed/blessed with serious blushing issues since I was a child. Very annoying as an adult.

So this painting definitely seemed to fit the title! I added some pretty paper, crinkled, then stitched some embroidery floss around it and attached a couple matching buttons. I think it's a very sweet painting. =D

It's a beautiful Portland day, started off by raining and now the sun is shining. My garden is terribly happy with this weather. If only it could stay like this. I'm getting worried that it's going to be a long, late Summer, perhaps stretching past the initial cold Winter that starts Halloween. I hope I'm wrong. I'd like my daughter's, mother's, and my birthday to all be nice and cool. Being that all our birthdays are in July and August...hey a girl can dream!
