Cat Cameo Ladies!


Let me introduce you to the "Cat Cameo Ladies"!
I decided to do a little series for fun :)
I wanted to make a series of paintings with an old fashion feel. The thought of adding cameos on all the ladies that housed images of cats seemed purrrr-fect to me. meow

So far there are three paintings in this series:




Just something a little different to keep things fresh. They are pretty paintings for Spring time.
All the cat cameo ladies can be found up for grabs on ebay!

Sing a song

Hello beautiful people!
How has your day been going? Did you watch American Idol tonight? I like to watch it. It makes me happy to see people picked from out of nowhere become stars. Isn't it amazing that there are these people out there with amazing talent, that have it bottled up inside of them? They just needed a break. An opportunity! That is how I feel about ebay and etsy. It is so amazing that people can be given the opportunity to be able to sell their creations worldwide! People who would otherwise be doing a job that stifles their creativity.

I was really touched by the performance of a man named Paul Potts a couple of years ago on the show "Britain's got talent". He worked as a telephone sales person and had an amazing singing voice that no one knew he had! Here is a clip of him on the tv show. I am mentioning him because I just found out he will be singing in the same building that I go to the post office! I saw the sign last week. I am going to go, and see him sing, and cheer!!!

This year there is a darling lady named Susan Boyle who was on the same program. She is such a sweetheart! I just love her!!! You can see the clip of her singing here. Isn't she awesome? I heard that they wanted to give her a makeover and she refused! LOVE IT!!!!!!!!

I leave you today with my newest painting.
Now go and create something!



Redhead angel and black cat are up for grabs on ebay.

Natural foods


I think it is something about the weather getting nicer that draws me to eating better. Lately I have been trying very hard to only eat real food. By "real" I mean an actual carrot, broccoli, banana... you get the idea. I want to eat something natural. Today I put a banana in the blender with milk and a little honey and that was breakfast! All natural. Nothing out of a box or can. I have carrot sticks for snacks, rice (not the minute kind)... I just want to eat things that aren't processed. So today I had a nice articoke as a snack. I love love love artichokes! If you've never cooked one here is a good website with info: Click here
I cook mine and dip them in melted butter and lemon juice. I don't really like the way the ones soaked in oil taste that are in jars.
So that is what is new with me. I am just trying to eat better.

I also have the honey bear print up at etsy now.
