Stretched Thin...

Last couple of weeks have been really crazy...I think I have way to many commitments on my plate and don't have the time to even think about starting a painting... Last week I spent about 12+ hours in the car either transporting rescued cats or going to care for the cats...I am stretched so thin that I my body is starting to tell me to back off - Today, I am planning to take it easy and take care of my self.. Time to make some tea!!!

WOW - I can't believe it...Thank You...

My painting of my Nacho boy took 1st place in the September's "Cats up" challenge on the Windows to the Words Blog. Nacho will be proud and I am sure will help me spend the $25 Gift Certificate at Walmart!!!

Congratulations go out to Elizabeth Pearson and Gwen Bell for their 2nd and 3rd placings - Their work is amazing....

12x12 Floral

I worked on this one last night (after finishing the leaf painting)...I find painting relaxes and soothes my mind and helps with a good night sleep. Hopefully it will help with my blood pressure too... Here we have a black-eyed suzan...One in a series that I am working on.

It's fall

In a last few days, I collected a few uniquely colored leaves - here is one of the red ones I picked up in a parking lot at work. Originally I started this painting with brushes, but sometime midstream, I switched to the palette knife.
