Bitsy Update and Gratitude

Bitsy is a little better! I am happy to report that Bitsy no longer has a fever. She walked around a little today on her own! She is not really eating much, and I have to give her water with an eye dropper.  She is still sneezing, but she is a trouper taking her medicine. She goes to the vet Monday and the orthopedic surgeon Wednesday. She is an incredibly good traveler, being used to the car trip between Arlington, MA and Rhode Island so that part is easy. She normally doesn’t like being put in a carrier, but she hasn’t had the spunk to protest.

I am overwhelmed by the response to my cat+art sale blog post for Bitsy. I am thrilled that 7 paintings are going to new homes to help pay Bitsy’s vet bills, and that so many of  you called, texted, shared my  post (all the way across the Atlantic too), and emailed to check on how Bitsy is. Thank you everyone who bought cards from the card page of my blog as well. I feel so blessed to have such wonderful friends, collectors, and animal lovers.

IMG_0891If you happen to be in Warren, RI there is a very cool shop called Whimsies that is full of colorful creative and curious items. This is a great store for finding wonderful little presents.

This is Andrea the owner who has a great eye. She decorates  and sells furniture that is so fun and funky.

Mother Goddess, 30 paintings in 30 days, day 17

Mother Godess 1 copy

Today was such a lovely day. David and I got to sleep late and wake to a gorgeous sunny morning with the sun sparkling off the snow and water. Eventually we left the nest and picked up my art work at the Art Stable Gallery. It was sad to see it empty and closed for the winter.

We went over to Newport, RI for me to drop off a work and then we had a cup of  French cocoa at a wonderful shop,  La Maison de Coco, which infuses hot chocolate with tea. I had thai spiced milk chocolate and David had plum oolong dark cocoa. The countryside looked gorgeous despite the cold day.

Then David was dear enough to get all my supplies ready for an oil painting class I am taking with Kelley MacDonald starting Saturday.  I was able to draw and ink in one of my paintings of a bunny and an egret in a field of poppies, but no time for painting it in. That will be tomorrows task. So today, a lovely Mother Goddess.

This is a small 3 1/2″ by 2 1/2 ” ink and watercolor.
