Mission Completed: Mini Paintings

As mentioned in the previous post, I spent most of yesterday working on these little guys. I may get some mini frames for them. They will be posted for sale soon! Until then, here's a peek!

Feline Friday: a studio companion

I spent the majority of the day yesterday working on some mini paintings. The desk in the studio is strategically placed next to the heating vent so I can stay cozy while working on projects. Mr. F decided to be my studio companion yesterday and took up residence on the vent, defeating the purpose of my desk placement. Happy Friday!

In the Studio: Minimize

I finally got around to clearing off my work desk in the studio. This has been long overdue. Last night I utilized my freshly cleaned desk by making a mess and a small army of mini paintings. This is the progress thus far. The brightly colored backgrounds patiently await the application of their subjects.

Mid Week Sketch: Radio

For whatever reason, I prefer radios with control knobs instead of buttons.

Feline Friday: Heads Up

I'm still working out the kinks in the character sketches I posted a few weeks ago. The cat went through some minor changes. I've been working mainly on the face and a couple of expressions. He's still in rough condition, but is looking little more streamlined. Happy Friday!

Feline Friday: Because I Love You!

In time for Valentine's Day, I give you "Because I Love You!" This piece is inspired by the many "gifts" I have received from my little furry coworker. She means well, I think, but mostly the presents are a bit unpleasant. If only she could learn to bring me a cupcake or coffee instead of the usual rodent. At least I know she loves me, or I pretend that she does!

There are prints of this creepy yet adorable illustration in both the 8"x10" and 5"x7" sizes in my shop! There's even a note card of it for you to give to your sweetie for Valentine's Day! Head on over and check them out. While you're there, check out the other cards available and newly added goodies, including the original painting of "Are You Ready to Bumble?" More to come! Happy Friday!
