My Summer Project & now - PRINTS!



Prints now available HERE!

 

HELLO FRIENDS!

This St. Francis painting was the FUN project I worked on over the summer!

It's a LOGO I was asked to create for a wonderful organization in Florida called the "St. Francis Ministry for Animals".  This AMAZING group of volunteers does many great things to help animals in need in their area including food drives, finding homes & giving care.

I was excited to be asked to design a logo for such a great ministry!

 

Since the group is in Florida, the logo has a tropical theme with foliage, a bird-of-paradise flower & an egret in the background.  St. Francis holds a sweet kitten & puppy!  The bold, rich colors will brighten up any room!

 

As a way for me to continue to help the ministry, I'm offering PRINTS of the painting in my Etsy Shop & 50% of all purchases will be donated to them!

 

Buy a print & help the animals! (Click on the link under the picture above)

Have an awesome weekend!   Purrrsss.......

 

Halloween Vintage Style

I've always loved vintage holiday greeting cards & postcards, etc.  The illustrations are so adorable!

I decided to do a painting of this "cute little witch girl & her cat" in my folky style.  I'd like to give credit to the artist of the illustration but can't read the signature.

Anyway, this little Halloween painting is available on EBAY right now - right HERE!

Have a SCARY day!!!

From 3 to 4

Meet little Amos!

My 3 fosters came from a litter of 5 ~ I took 3 & another foster mom took the other 2.

Sadly, 1 of hers didn't make it ~ a sweet little girl named Annie.  Bless her heart.  I offered to take her brother Amos so he could be with his siblings & not be alone.  He's just LOVING romping & playing with his brother Mowgli & sisters Moppet & Mitzi & is so happy! 

I took all the kitties in a few days ago for a checkup & vaccs.  They are all doing GREAT & just need to gain a few more ounces before they can go back, have their spay/neuter surgeries & be all ready for adoption!  I know they'll be snatched up quick ~ they are too adorable!

Having foster babies sure keeps you busy!  I have a sketch for a new Frida Kahlo & Cat painting I want to start but haven't found the time yet.  Really wanted to have it ready to list for Cinco de Mayo on Saturday but that's doubtful.  Darn.  I'm taking my daughter to "Junior Day" at K-State tomorrow, then taking her to KU in Lawrence where she'll meet up with her fellow Journalism students for the State Competition on Saturday.  Busy, busy, busy!  Not much time to paint.  I can show you the sketch at least.

Can't wait to fill her full of bright, happy

COLORS!

Ok, back to my foster duties...  =^..^=

April Showers & Polka-Dot Umbrellas

APRIL SHOWERS bring ...

CATS with polka-dot UMBRELLAS! 

At least in this painting it does!

In honor of our recent (& much needed) rain storms we've had here in Kansas I painted this sweet kitty in her wellies, rain hat & cute polka-dot umbrella, which she cleverly holds with her tail.  I added pink polka-dots around the sides for more fun!  I love how it turned out.  It would look so SWEET in a little girl's room!

I love the rain.  Painting in my studio with a mug of coffee, Irish music cds playing, cats dozing nearby & the sound of rain on the roof is one of my favorite things!

"Ready for the Rain" is up for grabs on Ebay ~ click HERE for a peek!

Happy Wednesday & stay dry!

Pawprint on My Heart!

I completely forgot to post my newest painting last week!

I wanted to do a more "subtle-toned" painting for Valentine's Day with RED being a rich accent color. I think my tuxedo kitty with his pawprint/heart greeting card turned out very sweet!

"Pawprint on My Heart"

is up for auction on EBAY right now.  Go have a look-see!

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

Purrfect Valentine

Valentine's Day is coming soon!

Just listed this sweet little 5x5 painting "Be Mine" on Ebay.

Miss Vivian is trimmed in a pretty bow & ready to be your sweetheart!

Did you notice the black patches on her coat are heart-shaped?

purrs & kisses...

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!
