Announcing A Fall Giveaway!

The kittens, Princess Cutie Pye and Opie Darling, 

have been helping me decorate and get into the fall spirit.

They are always eager to pose

and help out

with every studio job!

I told them if they were good,

I would let them help announce 

my fall giveaway!

And they were and so I did.

The first item - 8" x 10' matted,

signed and numbered lithograph art prints

(A great gift and ready to put into a standard frame.)

Information about each species is on the backing board.

Horary Bat

and 

Eastern Pipistrelle Bat

Summer Sunflowers

Spellbinding Sunflowers
5.5 x 7.5" - transparent watercolor on 140lb Arches paper, matted to 8 x 10"

Today's painting was done from an anniversary bouquet that I received last Thursday. Sunflowers don't ever seem to last very long for me, so this time I took some photos before they got too droopy. As you can see, artistic license was taken with the colors. Compensating for the wilt and just going with the flow, I strived to infuse them with a cheerful vitality.

Question of the day:

Are you ready for Fall?

If not, get in the mood!

Halloween Coloring Pages and a 

witchy watercolor on Sketching Everyday.

Supervisor #1

On the home front -

The kittens are growing up fast and getting very

 comfortable with their studio cat positions.

Supervisor #2

They are both such a big help with production and quality control.

I don't know what I ever did without them!

for one day you may look back and realize
