Creative, Problems

This was my morning layout to get resin on all these pieces.  It was an adventure, to be sure.  I learned a few things - 1.  An assistant is a must (thanks, Noah and Melody)!  2.  If you work with resin in 100 degree heat, the exothermic reaction will kick into high gear and the resin will burn your hand (even through gloves,) and 3.  Whilst getting your hand burned turn off the blowtorch so you don’t start a secondary fire.  This said, I am READY to continue the work EARLY in the supposed cool of the morning and have made up my mind to never do this with my art classes. I like my students to have adventures, but not quite THIS much adventure! Watch here and my website in the coming days for all these lovely coasters, and a couple small paintings, to be added. :)

My Art and Dave’s Killer Bread

You see one of the pictures I took for size comparison is with Dave’s Killer Bread.  We ALL know how good that stuff is - it’s art!  So, art next to art. 🙂  


This beautiful baby is a nice 16x20 and will make a strong impact wherever you put it.  I had difficulty photographing it to show the golds and the glowing layers without getting reflections.  It looks good in pictures but it pretty stunning in person and looks like a happy celebration as the bleeds and swirls pull you in.



Created with the highest quality archival paints on sturdy, 1 1/2” deep cradled birch.  The colors will not fade and you will be able to pass it down as an heirloom.  Signed on the side because it was just too beautiful to disturb anything by front signing.  Find it at www.colorcatstudios101.etsy.com at a bargain price of $300.00! Oh happy day!

Lily, Lily Painting

Start now and get a jump on Christmas so you can enjoy the season.  I love this pretty painting! 

To me the colors seem rich and modern.  My little friend likes it too.



The lily pops out at me and glows in its iridescents and silvers.  The way the colors flow around each other pulls my eyes around the painting as I follow the ways the paints move and blend together.  Such a beauty!


This is an acrylic pour over 8”x8” cradled birch.  I used the highest quality archival paints which will not fade with time.  That and the sturdy frame will make it an heirloom!  Wired and ready to hang.  Signed on the side.

The website is:

‘Loving’ Heart Painting

I named this one ‘Loving.’ Even Mr. Giraffe loves it and he KNOWS.  9x12” on cradled birch. 



You can find detailed information about this awesome paint pour and more pictures on my website, www.colorcatstudios101.etsy.com.

Oh my goodness, the way the colors moved is just incredible!!!  And so bright and beautiful.  The golds and pearlescents really make it shine!

As you can see, I let the paint drip off all edges to make it one piece of art, and signed on the side.




You’ll find lots more pictures on my website.  Isn’t this one just so much fun?


This one will make a very special gift for that very special person.  If you like it, get it fast because I’m certain to never be able to do one like THIS again!!

Galaxy Painting for Sale

This little 8”x10” piece will draw you in and converse with you about galaxies, planets and stars.  It actually fills me with joy just contemplating the possibilities!  In it you will find blues, teals and whites alongside blacks, golds and opalescents which give a rosey hue and make you feel like you’re staring into the depths of space.  Coolio!!




Oh, those iridescents!!!! Yummy!




You can find lots more photos of this painting on my website, www.colorcatstudios101.etsy.com


I painted this on a small, 8”x10” canvas with high quality archival acrylics.  A peaceful and powerful painting at a great price of $80.00, signed on the side.  You can see I let the paints flow over the edges to make the entire piece ART!  Perfect for a unique, one of a kind gift, or for yourself, just in case you need a little trip into space now and then. ;).

‘Glorious’ Painting

 Honestly, I think this might be my favorite one of all my pourings. The golds and reds have melded together so perfectly and the teals and blues compliment them so well that it’s a joy to follow the movement. 

Oh my goodness, just look at this thing!



It’s 12x12” on cradled birch, heirloom quality paints for only $120.00. https://etsy.me/2UmAwyH. I wish somehow I could capture the beauty of this thing with a photograph, but alas, it is not to be.  Just know that it is ever so much more beautiful in person.  Signed on the side.  The birch box is about 1” thick, and I let the paint pour over the sides to continue the art.


Glorious!! You can find lots more pics on my website,
