Your Brain

The study of your brain is fascinating. A little challenge for you here.. You have to shut off one side of your brain in order to read this correctly. No fair blurring your vision!

Artists are good at accessing both sides of their brains and switching back and forth.  Try it!

Lion Door Knocker Painting

Just listed, this powerful little 5"x7" stunner is color saturated. Big impact in a very small space! colorcatstudios101.etsy.com will give you all kinds of details, and one easy click will make it yours.

Always in art you go with surprises and 'mistakes,' and let the creativity flow around it. These surprises and unplanned flows of color either ruin the painting or make it. On rare occasion everything goes as planned, and this is one of those rare occasions.  This lion is perfect! If someone commissions me to do another one like it, I am in big trouble!

Sold - Poppy Painting

Sold! Poppy painting at the art faire.  Really love this one, and it was a joy to paint.  First I did a couple hours of sketching at my favorite nursery, Arbor Gate, wandering among the lovelies. I walked around with my pen and watercolor pad until satisfied and tired.  Of course I stopped at the poppies because they are one of only a handful of flowers that I CAN'T grow!

But I can paint them!

Oh my goodness, I love the textures, and the colors are one of my favorite combinations,nailing with being deep,y saturated.  Love!
