I am working on this larger piece that I finished inking in today. I am not sure if they are my cats or wild cats.

Be My Valentine!
When Valentine’s comes around with hearts and flowers and love, it is nice to remember that we all are loved in this wonderful world full of beauty at every turn.
This 5″ by 7″ painting on aqua board is a perfect gift for your sweetheart. This painting is specially priced at 175.00 today. I promise speedy shipping, an easel to stand it up in immediately, and an email straight to your sweetheart with a photo of what is coming if you like.
“A hundred hearts would be too few
To carry all my love for you.”

Art is love.
Here they are, all 30 paintings in a collage.
Well 30 days has passed and I started 2 paintings yesterday that I am going to turn into encaustics. I certainly think I would have gotten the award for the most variety in media on this challenge. A lot of this was experimentation for me as what I normally do takes several days to complete. The collage was made by a cool program called picmonkey.
Now I am turning back to working on my Rousseau like paintings that I will be needing for an exhibition. I usually complete a painting in a week.
Happy Ground Hog Day and happy birthday to my dear friend Patricia Barr who is working in chilly Fairbanks, Alaska!
Up and Away, 30 Paintings in 30 Days, Day 30, Oh My!
I really love everything going on in this painting. Laying on of hands, midwifery, flying in the air, trumpets playing, creatures talking.
This is a 9″ by 12 ” Ink and Watercolor on Arches 300 pound cold press paper. I do enjoy making paintings in my usual style.
So, 30 days of 30 paintings has come to an end. A great challenge with over 200 participants started by Leslie Saeta. You can see everyone’s works on her blog page.
This painting will be matted and framed in a maple frame. It is for sale for $450.00 framed and $350.00 unframed.
3 Little Kittens, 30 Days of 30 Paintings, day 29
I have been working on a larger painting for day 30 so today I am posting a drawing that I will complete over the next week. I continue with my poppies, enjoying the thought of them blooming this summer. But we did have gorgeous witch hazel blossoms today as the temperature hit 55.
These have a heavenly scent. So joyous to be outdoors and smell their fragrance wafting on the breeze.
Be Mine, day 28 of 30 paintings in 30 days.
Another quick little painting. I guess I have Valentine’s on my mind. Another painting taken at night….hate to get those shadows in it, but the paper is all one color off white.
Posies, Day 27 of 30 paintings in 30 days.
Who doesn’t like flowers. A little posie painting as today is a very busy day. Also could be a little Valentine. Drawing is 5″ by 7″.
HANGING WITH THE COOL CATS, Day 26 of 30 paintings in 30 days.
These cats are happy to hang out in this jungle with giant mushrooms and wild flowers. There’s a cool cat leaning against the tree. Again influenced by Henri Rousseau’s jungles.
This is a 5″ by 7″ ink and watercolor on aqua board and is framed in an oak and black shadow box frame.

Coffee, Tea or Painting in Oils for Second Time, day 25 of 30 paintings in 30 days.
What can I say. I am taking a wonderful oil painting class with Kelley MacDonald who is such a great teacher. Today was value painting. Kelley knows so much, it is a gift to be learning from her. I have never painted in oils so post this tentatively. I did like my creamer before I quickly put in the background. Will have to touch it up to get the right shadows.
It is fabulous to learn so new things. I have always painted in watercolors. I hope at some point to make my creature and jungle paintings in oils.
Making Up, Day 24 of 30 days of 30 paintings.
You know how it is when you get upset with your sweetie and want to make up. I think he is really trying. Just an idea, no relevance to life as it is. Wonder what’s in the package? Take a guess.
This is a 4″ by 6″ watercolor, quite the Valentine! $35.00
