That’s what I imagine this cat is saying with it’s big eyes, full of feline attitude. I’ve really enjoyed working on this fun print, and really proud of my momentum in the studio! One of the things I love about being a part of Running with Scissors Studios is that when I’m working there is always someone else … Continue reading »
Last post where I presented a new painting, I mentioned the idea of starting a series based on a that set of cat images from Vinalhaven, Maine. So this week I decided to take advantage of the momentum from that creative work and begin a relief print of one of those cats. Here is a work in progress photo … Continue reading »
I finish the small painting I started the other day of Vinalhaven cats in the sunny windowsill. There are many things I really liked, for example the sketchy quality of the middle/right cat, and many things I am not happy with. Overall, it’s a really good study on lighting and composition. I think I’m going … Continue reading »

I have been working on new screen-prints, and have also challenged myself by buying a big canvas t paint for the show!

I wonder if I would have a harder time painting someone I don’t know? That would be an interesting challenge in the future. Richard Schmid: … Continue reading »
I have found a new website that I have had a lot of fun exploring lately: http://www.wetcanvas.com/ . My friend Karen recommended it to me, and I’ll admit that for a long time I didn’t think much of it. It’s a little “clunky” and hard to navigate. BUT, once you do figure it out it … Continue reading »
