Time for a Nap

I'm so excited to announce that my "Sleepytime Print" made it into this beautiful Etsy treasury!"I'm Just So Sleepy" Etsy Treasury

Stormie is napping right now and I'm so sleepy I seriously feel like taking one with him. Still, there's grocery shopping and more work to do.

Bird Watching at Night

Cats are nocturnal animals by nature and I'm reminded of this on a daily basis every time I try to catch some z's at night. All I hear are either the jingles of his little toys or of him running around. There's one thing I certainly don't mind though. Stormie has a habit of jumping on the bed to nuzzle me with his wet nose several times a night and then run away. I call it a "Stormie kiss."

Stormie also climbs up on our window sill to stare outside. He usually does so at dawn when the birds are chirping. This is what inspired me to do this painting. I love the way the landscape appears to be lit by the moon.

I also have a daytime version of this painting if you prefer.

Day or night, Stormie always keeps me amused!

Kitty Love Painting

I'm proud to announce that the first painting in the Stormie and Mel series is now listed in my Etsy shop! I feel like celebrating! It's a mixed media piece that incorporates colored pencil, ink and watercolor. It's vibrant and conveys the love that I have for Stormie, my cat.

I kept glancing over at him as he was sleeping while I was working on this piece and kept trying to remember what my life was before he came into my life. I realize now that it was quite dull.

Currently Working on Artwork for Stormie and Mel

I'm so excited to announce that I'm currently working on some pieces for "Stormie and Mel." They will be posted in the upcoming week.

So far I have a banner that I've worked on. I feel that it truly conveys the concept behind my work and shop.

Enjoy and stay tuned for Stormie and Mel's antics!
