Origin of Cat and Bird Paintings

Where did all these Pippy’s Adventures watercolor paintings come from?  I painted this red painting, a big acrylic that’s 20”x30” maybe eight years ago.  I named it Big Furry Bird. 🙂

It sold and I have always wanted to revisit it with more work.  Then our son Noah got this cat Pippy - THE MOST TROUBLE TO EVER HAVE BEEN BORN WITH FUR AND FOUR FEET.  His escapades inspired me to get back to it.  So... ‘Pippy’s Adventures’ were born.  

My desire was to make political art in this turbulent time, but I chose to make cheery art that speaks in a different way.  If a cat can be friends with birds - then I think we can be kind to everyone.  Let’s be kind.  I think for now - these are just right.  With all the covid troubles we just need some happy thoughts.

As you can see by my fingers holding this one - they’re tiny! They’re either 2 1/2”x3 1/2” , 4x6” or 5x7”.  Priced for everyone and will fit everywhere. :)

And remember, if you spend a $35.00 minimum on my website until TOMORROW, you can choose one of my cool hologram stickers and I’ll send it along with your purchase. 🙂

Here’s another painting in my Pippy’s Adventures series.  If cats and birds can love each other, then WE can love each other too.

New Bird Painting

Birds on a wire.  I adore the paints marching across and changing colors.  I think the birds do too!

I have ALL KINDS of beliefs about what’s going on in the world right now; many are very STRONG.  But right now, just for this little bird moment, let’s be happy.

Abominable Baby Bird Painting

This is my ‘Abominable Baby Bird.’ I laugh each time I see him.  Paint pours don’t often turn into something recognizable, so as he formed I helped him along and gave an extra flame treatment (it releases bubbles) along the edges of his wings to get all those little bubbles to surface.  I like it!  I think it gives movement and makes him look a bit frazzled and frizzled. 🙂. Anyway, my crazy bird is for sale at

Watercolor Sketch of Duckling

Inspired by the little babies that congregated under our picnic table (wonder why) I did this quick little watercolor sketch of one of my newfound friends. Made it messy, just like a duckling must certainly be!

Owl Painting Needs Home

Feeling owlish? A new painting on your walls will take care of that! This bad boy puts a little edge in whatever room he hangs around in, and a lot of conversation.  For sale.  (His name is Horatio.)
