Rock Wall Series Painting

Well, this one sold before I got to show you but I thought you might like to see it anyway.  This is the fourth painting in my Rock Wall series and the fourth to sell in so many days.  I can’t keep up with you guys - who knew?  I guess others love plants as much as I do!  I’ll try to post my next one here tomorrow to give you a chance as well before it sells.

You can find a lot of similarly wonderful color-changing art on my website,

A Creative’s Summer Gardening

If you feel something wonderfully warm, if you hear something stretch within itself, it’s my squash. ❤️ ❤️ 

In the North we grew so much squash everyone would come to church with grocery bags full of the stuff. We would look at each others’ bags and try to give it away to someone, anyone!  This is the first time in 19 years, since we’ve lived down here, that I’ve been able to grow squash.

We shall see if it can stretch itself into yummyhood before squirrel, opossum, coon, humidity, mysterious phenomenon or Act of God takes it out. We shall see.  Artists are forever optimists.

Oh, the beauty with which God has surrounded us! Thank you, Lord!!

God’s Beauty, My Garden

All nature rejoices at the beautiful rain we got last night.  My coleus certainly do!  These pretty babies make ME rejoice!  Wasn’t God good to give us beauty?  He didn’t have to do that.  A tiny reflection of Him.

These do well in the shade, and actually get dappled sunlight for several hours a day. So pretty, and really inspiring for this artist.

In Studio Today, Working

A tiny bouquet of baby bay leaves to help me stay out of the garden and in my studio today. If you EVER need bay leaves, ask! My tree grows so fast that I’m always trimming branches off. Wonderful flavor, pretty in bouquets. Even looks pretty on a palette!

Bright Colors and Flowers!

I love color so much that even my color testing charts end up with art on top of them.  Actually, I think they make a good base for art, and would love to have a dress that looks like this.  What do you think?

Here’s a nice closeup of the cool color area; ooohhh... makes me feel peaceful.

I like this little hotspot too.  Gives a whole new meaning to the phrase ‘hot spot,’ huh? Hmmm... maybe that’s what I should name this little piece.  Done!  Hot Spot!  Yep.  That’s how an artist’s mind works!



(If you have any hot spots, I can paint them for you.  Just ask!

Tiny Art

Finally! And once again, it’s... bum de da bum... Teeny Tiny Art Time! Hooray! This little baby reflects just how much work it takes to 1-grow things, and 2- make art. Oh the things we create when the wheels in our little heads spin. Colorcatstudios101.etsy.com is my website if you’d like to check out my other work.
