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!

Hot off the Art Table!

A Girl and her Cat

Just got this cute little painting listed on EBAY ~ give it a look!

I don't do blondes or Siamese cats very often but just got in the mood the other day & this is the result!

I think it turned out very sweet.

Now I'm off to figure out my new phone.  I got a new upgrade today & have NO CLUE how to use it!  UGHHH!!! 

My Lighthouse Painting is Finished!

"Lighthouse View"

I'm gonna be BUSY tomorrow volunteering at "Cat Independence Days" at the Humane Society so I thought I'd go ahead & post my new painting now. 

This is my little version of the Eagle Bluff Lighthouse located in Peninsula State Park in Door County, Wisconsin!  Wow ~ that was a mouthfull!  Of course I added a few felines to it!  I'm really happy with how it turned out!  It might be hard to let this one go. 

We got to see this gem on our trip there last month. Beautiful!!!  We saw the most gorgeous sunset one night there over Green Bay!

Ohhhh...I wish I was there now!!!

"Lighthouse View" is up for grabs on EBAY right now!  Click HERE!

Saint Francis Bless My Cat

Happy Thursday everyone! (and the LAST day of school for us - yay!)

Just wanted to share my latest painting with you ~ a rich colored woodland St. Francis with kitties!

I'm really happy with how it turned out.  I think I like working on the bigger 8X10s!

St. Francis will be on EBAY later today so go check him out!  And I'll definitely be making some prints of this one too!

New Painting Sneak Peek ~ Guess Who!

I finally got some painting done over the weekend - yahoo! 

Here's a little peek at what I've been working on.  Can you guess who it is?  It's not hard to figure out.  It isn't quite finished yet but I hope to wrap it up today & get it listed on Ebay tomorrow. 

I'm really EXCITED about this one!  It's a bigger 8X10 & I love how the rich COLORS turned out!

I'll post it here tomorrow so come back!  Hope you like it too!

Only 3 days of school left!  HIP HIP HOORAY!!!

Have a happy, happy Monday!

Foster Kitties Update

Shoe attack!

Sophie thinks shoelaces are FUN!

Sierra thinks so too!

Rough & tumble time!

I'm furrocious!

Queen of the Kitty Condo!

Happy Monday everyone!

My baby girls are growing like WEEDS!  They've practically doubled in size this past month.  They were barely over a pound when I picked them up & now they are a few ounces shy of 2!  I can't believe we've had them almost a whole month.  They are such sweeties & SO healthy & PLAYFUL!  I try & try but just can't get a good photo of them because they won't be still - ha!  Sometimes I come in the room & they're all curled up together sleeping like angels but the second they see me they're pouncing over & climbing up my leg!  As you can see they love my shoelaces & their rough & tumble sessions.  I don't know which one is ornerier  ~ they are  both wild little rascals!  I do notice that during their wrestling sessions Sierra is usually on top.

I'm scheduled to take them back to the shelter on Thursday (sniff) since they'll be 8 weeks old & 2 lbs. ~ the requirement for being spayed.  Their surgery will probably be Friday.  Then they'll be placed for adoption & on their way to their forever homes!  It'll be sad saying goodbye but I KNOW those 2 sweethearts will be adopted (kittens go fast) & if for some insane reason they aren't, I'll go back & get them!  I'm just trying to enjoy them all I can while I still have them.

I don't think we'll have time to foster any kitties before we leave for vacation next month but when we get back I'd like to get a mama & babies.  The Humane Society's been getting lots of those in lately.

HAVE A GREAT WEEK!!!

P.S.  My new Frida Painting is NOW on EBAY!

Frida is Finito!

I got FRIDA painted up all colorful & fun & she'll be on EBAY tomorrow once I get caught up with things.  This painting is an 8x10 ~ much bigger than my usual 5x7s.  I really like how she turned out.

I'm getting ready to go visit my BFF Cindy in Kansas City for the weekend ~ yay!  We've been friends since 2nd grade & I can't imagine life without her.  We're gonna have us a FUN weekend of relaxing with no kids, going to see Letters from Juliet, eating lots of junk food & catching up on girl talk!  Can't wait!

Tomorrow is Feline Friday!  I hope to have some new pics of my foster kitties along with an article on Litter Box issues! 

A New Painting ~ Spring Sprouts

"Spring Sprouts" available on EBAY now! Click to biggify!

Happy Saturday!  I finished up this little spring painting yesterday.  Paige & her cat Penelope just discovered new sprouts in their little box garden!

"Spring Sprouts" is up for grabs on EBAY right HERE!  Check it out!

Hope you're having a wonderful weekend so far!

Get outside & do something fun!

Cats in the Tulips

These 2 rascals are having fun in the tulip pot!  They're too cute to get into trouble though. 

My newest painting "Twins in the Tulips" is available on EBAY now.

Hope you're having a great Wednesday!  Our sunshine is gone again & rain is coming.  I'm a rainy-day kinda gal so I don't mind but I'm SO tired of the cold!

Easter Sunday

My newest painting is titled "Easter Sunday". 

Miss Molly was headed off to church when her cat Henry jumped up & surprised her with a daffodil!

Easter Sunday is up for grabs on EBAY right now!

Spring break is zooming by way too fast!  We're having a beautiful warm & sunny day today!  I really should be outside enjoying it instead of sitting here in front of the computer.  A cold front is coming in though & Saturday it'll be back to feeling like winter again.  BOO! 

Irish Dancer ~ another painting goal made!

Now available on EBAY!

And my 2nd painting is finito! I just may make my goals for this week yet! Colleen, the Irish dancer, is ready to begin her lead round but her cat Seamus is having too much fun with her ghillies shoe strings. "Irish Dancer" is up for grabs on Ebay right HERE! I wish I had a professional photographer to photograph my artwork for me. I can never seem to get a good picture with the perfect light - ugh!

Another goal of mine this week was to design a business card but I'm putting that on hold for now. I signed up for a workshop on selling online & it covers business cards so I'm going to wait & do that when the assignment comes. Instead I think I'm going to FINALLY join the Facebook world! My daughters & several friends & family members, not to mention tons of you wonderful bloggers & artists, have one so I figured I'd bite the bullet & climb on board. My page will be mostly art oriented but I'm looking forward to getting in touch with some old high school friends & seeing what all my out of town family is up to.

We have a bright SUNNY day outside today - hooray! It's amazing how a little sun can lift your mood & give you energy. It's also amazing how much dog poop accumulates in the backyard when you haven't scooped all those snowy winter months - yuck! That's a job to look forward to later. Happy Thursday everyone!

Bring on the Parade!

Hooray for Mardi Gras! Here is my newest painting in all its bright, colorful cheeriness! It's now up for grabs on EBAY! Get ready to catch those beads!

HAPPY DAY TO YA!

For YOU Valentine!

Valentine Painting available on Ebay right HERE!

Here is my first Valentine painting for 2010! I hope to do 2 or 3 more in time for the big day. I'm also working on some cute new vintagy pillow ornaments for the shop that I hope to get listed in a day or 2. I found the sweetest fabric with vintage kitties on it! Also thinking about doing some pillow covers. SO many ideas. Only it seems like I spend more time planning my projects than actually creating them!

On that note, I'm gonna go cut me some fabric! TTFN! Happy weekending!

Frida's Christmas

Happy Thursday to ya! Here is my new Christmas Frida painting. I think Frida's got the right idea ~ don't stress, sit & relax with a warm cat in your lap, a cup of tea (I'll take Irish coffee) & gaze at something pretty like her blooming Christmas cactus! Hopefully Frida eventually gets up & does a bit of Jazzercise! Looks like she's enjoyed a little too much fruitcake & sugar cookies!

"Frida's Christmas" is up for auction right now on ebay. Just click right HERE!

MERRY CHRISTMAS & FELIZ NAVIDAD!

Kitty Angel Wood Box

Hi beautiful blogger friends! I finally finished the little wooden box I've had primed & sitting neglected since last year! I thought of doing a Christmas theme but decided instead on a pink & black design that can go for any time of year. I think it turned out really cute! Great for a little girl's room! This sweet little box is available on EBAY right HERE!

I've also been busy creating & gathering things for my new ETSY SHOP I'm planning to open up very soon! More on that later. Hope you're having a wonderful Wednesday!!! xoxo

Halloween Princess

Halloween Princess
Silly Squirrel!

I finished this little Halloween painting last night. I love doing Fall & Halloween themed paintings! Halloween Princess (Wendy & her cat Sookie) is up for auction on EBAY for you to check out!

A little while ago I saw this cute squirrel scurrying along our fence with this huge hedge apple in his mouth. It was hilarious watching him carry this big ball that was half as big as he was - ha! He stopped & began chowing down on it so I snuck out on the deck & snapped a picture. It's kind of blurry because I couldn't get too close but it's still cute. He gnawed & gnawed at the thing dropping all the outside part off. Apparently the inside is tastier! Must be fattening up for winter!

I got all my Fall & Halloween decorations out & up last Sunday while watching the Chiefs game (Darn~they almost won it)! I'll post some of my little vignettes when I get a chance. Happy Tuesday!
