KittyCat has a new home
I was inspired to paint a little differently when a friend of mine texted this photo taken on his cell phone.
Recently it was sold from Crossroads Art Center. Thank you to my newest customer. And thank you Scott, for sharing your little buddy.

Productive Time Off
Taking time off from teaching has been one of those things I did fairly reluctantly, but am I ever glad that I did. The time has been productive. These were recently finished. They are claimed and will head to their new home soon.

Time Off, but Not Really
"Thin Blue Line" |
Point is, it isn't finished. I thought it was, but I decided to splurge and have a consultation with another artist / teacher whom I admire and respect. It was well worth every dime. I spend my time as a teacher, so I don't get to paint as much as I'd like and when I do, I find my fellow artists generally don't give me feedback unless asked. ( I suppose that's actually a good and polite thing!) So prior to taking time off from teaching for most of the month of May, I scheduled the consult and now have some ideas about what I wish to do next.
However, the entire point of taking off was to complete the backlog of paintings I've begun and set aside in the last 7 years. Yep! SEVEN years. So that's what I shall do first.
As of this afternoon, I am officially on vacation, but not really. I'm on a Paint-cation. and looking forward to every moment.
