    Excited Cats and Spring’s Arrival: A Fun Perspective

    It’s spring! FINALLY! It’s been brutal, it’s over. Still having some winter weather, but that will disappear soon. My cats are excited to see the birds. They sit at the window and give out an almost inaudible meow. That’s another sign of spring, frustrated cats wanting to pounce on prey, but can’t do it. A…

    It’s My Birthday: Honoring St. Gertrude and Cat Art

    Actually, it’s my birthday. On St. Patricks Day, everyone asks me if I am Irish. I’m not. But, it’s also St. Gertrudes Day, and she’s the patron saint of cats. In my life, that makes a lot more sense. So, as usual, I will celebrate my birthday by posting some of the cat pictures I…

  • Well, Well, Well

    Well, Well, Well

    Life has been pretty eventful this past week, so I didn’t have enough artwork. I did do one drawing, but I’m not sure if I like it or not. I’ll have to put it away, and look at it later. Everyone who knows me, knows I’m a cat lover. I also am drawn to contrasting…

  • FINALLY!

    FINALLY!

    For the first time in months, I’ve created something that i can be proud of. I think I’m going to title it “Tree Trunk In Summer”. For those of you who might what was going through my mind when I drew this, I’ll have to disappoint you. It’s nothing more than I saw this scene,…

  • Slacker

    Slacker

    I remember during the 1990’s, there was a term for adults who didn’t want to do anything. Slackers. As I recall, the people described were Generation X, and it was totally insulting. I wonder how all of the wonderful people from Generation X that I worked with are doing. Anyway, I’ve been a slacker. I…

    FWIW, sort of

    I have a few drawings to share, these came very quickly. I’ve been busy, whether it’s the time of year, me, or the witch or the wardrobe. This is a drawing of a scene outside my brother’s apartment. Here’s another. Pretty self explanatory, So, I ran out of ideas. Still wanted to work, but drew…

  • Feelings, wowo wo

    Feelings, wowo wo

    It seems as if I’m feeling around with new ideas as to where my art should go. Honestly, I’m pretty lost here. Instead of doing artwork, I’ve been binging on Youtube. Ever hear of “Ask a Mortician”? Mostly there. Procrastination, is making me wait. I did do a drawing of a cat looking out a…

  • What! Another Cat?!

    What! Another Cat?!

    For those of you who haven’t followed this blog, I’ll let you know, I’m a crazy cat lady. I’m not a crazy cat hoarder, though. Cats are excellent models, due to the fact they sleep fourteen hours a day. So, I don’t have a title for it yet, but here it is. Oh, and if…

  • Sunrise, Sunset

    Sunrise, Sunset

    I’ve got a question….why do most artists paint or draw sunsets? I guess it’s the bright colors, especially if over water. I don’t understand this. A sunrise it as beautiful as a sunset, only in a different way. The colors are subtle and muted. Also, it’s a sign of promise. The dark night is gone,…
