Curiosity

 
Original Oil Painting
 
6"x6"
Oil on Museum Quality Panel
 
SOLD
 
 
Curiosity
 
Without curiosity where would we be?  Our need to know can lead us into an unplanned adventure or just plain trouble. 
 
 I thought it would be fun to turn the long standing adages, "curiosity killed the cat" and "let sleeping dogs lie," upside down.  And it was.

Have you ever annoyed a cat?  It can sometimes take only the mere presence of yourself to do so.

Zen

 
 
  

Original Oil Painting
on Panel

6"x6"

Zen
 
SOLD
 

There comes a time in all our lives, when we need our very own hideaway spot.  We should be able to go there to escape the world.  The best hideaway spot is one where no one would think to look for you.  Of course if they do find you, give them the old stink eye.  It works every time!

"Me and My Friends Are Hungry"

 
 

Original Oil Painting on
 Ampersand Panel

5" x 7"
 
SOLD
 


Cats can tell time.  They are prompt little beings and expect no less from their wait staff. Meals shall appear in a timely fashion and must consist of what was ordered.  None of this substituting 'weight loss management food' for their old standbys like Fancy Feast wet food.   They are in charge of when it is time for a diet, thank you very much!  And for the well being of your psyche, don't even think about bringing home the store brand.  They will walk away in a huff of indignity previously never witnessed.  After all, you should know better than to "cut back" in the CAT area of the budget. 

Happy Cat, Happy Home

This is the neatest idea to display children's art.

Hierarchy

 


 
 
 
6" x 6"
Original Oil Painting
On Museum Quality Panel
 
SOLD
 
Establishing hierarchy always seems to be so crucial. However after we are firmly ensconced at the top, we may start to notice that our life has changed; not always for the better.  In order to remain at the top, we realize we must be ever vigilant. Meanwhile, our lesser subjects can take nice long naps!

This adorable little girl managed to get herself lost in Alaska. She left through an open window and was gone for weeks. She has remained rather aloof about her grand adventure.  None the worse for the wear, Beatrice currently resides in Connecticut.

Happy 4th of July !

Harold the Heron


6"x6"
Original Oil Painting
 
SOLD
 
 

Harold fishes in a pond near the home of my grandchildren. There is some assuming going on concerning the name they have  bestowed upon the heron.  If Harold is really a male heron deserving of his name, he would bring all the makings for a nest to his mate and she would be responsible for building it.

Mr. and Mrs.



These two are now....




Married!

After much excitement, I am returning to normal life.  (What is that?)  With the goal of catching up, I have been painting away on commissions.



 


Amongst my commission work, I created this thank you card for the couple.  It is pen and ink with watercolor.
