Frida & her Furry Friend

I was in the mood to paint FRIDA last weekend!
She is such a FUN subject! 
This is another version of a painting I did a few years ago (below).
I wanted this one to be RED & TURQUOISE!
Of course she still has her CAT!
"Frida & Her Furry Friend" is available right now on Ebay.  Just click HERE!
Prints of the other painting are available in my Etsy Shop

Hope you're having a purrrfectly wonderful Monday!  meow

Warm Winter's Nap

This tabby has the right idea!
When it's COLD & SNOWY outside ~ find a nice warm bed with cushy pillows & curl up for a long winter's nap!  You can always enjoy the view from the window!

This sweet 8 x 8 painting is up for grabs on Ebay right now!
Check it out HERE!

Guest Room Makeover!

Inspiration Room & My Take on it

These photos are the main reason I didn't get many Fall or Christmas art projects done this year!
My oldest daughter graduated from high school & moved out so I had a fun new GUEST ROOM to create!  (& I wanted to finish it before company came for Chrismas!)  My sister had given me the bedroom photo on the left (she definitely knows my taste) & I carried it around for a few years vowing to someday model a room after it.  I finally got my chance & went to town!
I did find an awesome iron bed but it was after I found this great antique oak bed so the iron bed went in the other guest room.  I tried to go as inexpensive as I could on the furnishings & think I did pretty well.  The bedding came from Target & Walmart, my talented sis made me the green & white Irish quilt, the snowflake pillow is from Tuesday Morning & I made the 2 small green leaf pillows.  The furniture is all from Craigslist or local antique shops.  The pretty plates above the bed are from Etsy & the rest of the furnishings I either had already or bought cheap.  I did splurge on the adorable wool hooked CAT pillow from Chandler 4 Corners!  LOVE Laura Megroz's designs!  One of the lamps I ordered went on backorder so I'm still waiting for it. 
It was SO FUN making up this room & putting it to use when all my family was here for Christmas weekend!

Here are a few additional photos of the room:

I even found red NOEL letters like in the photo!


You can't see them very well but I have CUTE set of embroidered towels hanging on the black painted shutter against the wall & there's also the coolest CAT rug on the floor I got from Urban Outfitters!  I'll post pictures of them on my next post ~ along with my other guest room I made over.  This one is already long enough!  :)
Just wanted to show off my new room!  I should've taken a "before" picture ~ this is a FAR CRY from my daughter's..... ummm..... dump heap!
HAPPY HAPPY MONDAY!  (as happy as Monday's can be)

New Year - New Painting!

Winter Saint Francis & Cat

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!  We had a houseful of people here for the weekend & it was awesome!  Time spent with FAMILY is the most special thing of all during the holidays!

Well, the festivities are over, the candy & cookies are all gone, the decorations are coming down & now it's TIME TO PAINT!  I decided to do a "winter themed" St. Francis with a snowy white kitty this time.  This new original painting is available NOW on Ebay ~ Just click HERE!

Wishing you a blessed New Year full of JOY & PEACE!
