Painting Buddy

"Rosey" Fur-lined drafting table....

In the studio today for about 3 1/2 hours working away at a piece when up comes my painting buddy to help select the next color! Well, she could either be a pest, telling me "I need a pet!", or simply to say "It's time to stop and rest"
Too cute to pass up, I took this shot of her. I bet there are a million painting buddies out there, whether it be feline or canine, that have dipped their paws in the pigment.

Creative Literacy Project

"Sleeping On Shoe"

Hooray! Creative Literacy Project Has had it's first successful month! I got the notice today that my book, "Fat Black Cat" was selected for a class project of special needs children! This means that my first royalty check will be in the mail soon! This has been a wonderful project to work on and am pleased at the quality of how the "self publishing" guide works for the young authors. Developed for young writers, a book can be selected with the basic theme in place, allowing a child to write how the story goes. As an artist, this allows my work to be reproduced on demand with the additional joy it brings to a child. Check it out!
