Day 20 - 30/30 Challenge - How Cute Am I?

How Cute Am I? Neupastel on watercolor paper, 4.5 x 6

When you're pressed for time, sometimes you just paint what's next to you. That might be an apple or a coffee cup, or a lemon, but today a cat put on her upside-down-in-the-window-how-adorable-am-I? act and I went with it! This is neupastel on a scrap of watercolor paper.

LAST DAY!! I'd like to direct you to my Etsy page where I'm having a little sale. Please consider purchasing a painting because, a. Christmas is coming, and these little 6x6s really make nice gifts, and/or b. the mermaid needs to buy some picture frames for the big solo show and selling a couple of these little guys would be a BIG help!

I'd also like to suggest that you sign up on the right side of this page for emails (not every day), and the follow button to get notifications when this blog is updated (for this month nearly every day, most times, not so much).

Day 26 - 30/30 Challenge - Black Cat on a Yellow Chair

Black Cat on a Yellow Chair

watercolor, 6" x 6", $35

(NFS)

The chair was a rescue from the garbage – I just couldn't stand that this happy yellow chair was being thrown away! It now sits in my kitchen under the window that features KittyTV aka a window bird feeder. Both cats can spend hours watching the little house finches, chickadees, cardinals, carolina wrens and other visitors eat and squabble over the sunflower seeds. But all that birdwatching is very taxing and so, eventually, curling up and taking a nap is very much in order.

PS, the cat was also a rescue - from underneath a giant hosta leaf! Such a tiny little angry kitten he was. He's so much sweeter and happier now. But, not smart. Nope, not at all. (I'm allowed to say that because he can't read...) But he is soooo sweet.
