Under the Haystack

Does anyone ever see haystacks like this anymore? I live near several farms, but the hay or straw is bundled into large discs. I love to see a field of them on my way home from work and how the waning sunlight casts long shadows of them on the fields. The hues of autumn are my favorite by far! These little girls are resting with their kitties Under the Haystack. I will be posting this on Ebay soon.

Moonlight Meow

Here is my latest painting, Moonlight Meow. There is so much texture in the paint and finish that it was hard to avoid the glare in the bottom left corner. This may be the last of my Halloween themed paintings. It will be up on Ebay later tonight. Have a great weekend!

My Lonely Spot

I found some of old canvas panel paintings and painted over them with brown paint before creating some new art! The panels had holes drilled in the top so I strung them up with black polka dot ribbons so that they can be hung anywhere, just like a plaque, no frame is needed. The first one, My Lonely Spot, features a little girl (kind of a creepy girl) enjoying some Halloween props. The second one, Pulling the Turkeys, has a girl pulling a wagon full of confused turkeys. Will they end up on the table? The third one is on a stretched canvas and is called, After the Party, because sometimes it isn't worth going to a Halloween party when you consider the walk home! These will all be on Ebay soon! Have a wonderful weekend!

Candy Corn Princess

Today was a damp and dreary day. The best kind for settling in and finishing some new Halloween themed paintings~

The Candy Corn Princess has three little candy corn kitties. Even though the little Halloween Sprite can fly on her own, she would rather take a Crow Ride. Candy corn is strewn on the dance floor as Ms. Pumpkin and her Suitors get all the attention!

They all have some collage elements and lots of bright colors! I might just list all of these tonight! The link to my Ebay is at the top of this page~~ Have a great week~~

Oooooh Devil Cats!

Watch out for Devil Cats! Coming to Ebay Soon!

HALLOWEEN!

Halloween is one of my favorite times of the year! I love the decorations and the chill in the air! It is so much fun to create Halloween themed art.

I hope everyone is getting in the "back to school mode" if you have students in your home. I have three in college this year, all living at home and commuting to three different colleges. Everyone's school and work schedules are so different that we have to play "musical cars" in the driveway every day! Dinners have to hold warm for at least one or two each evening. There are books and laptops and cords and cell phones and itouches (or whatever they are) everywhere~but I know this will pass and one day there will only be two cars in the driveway instead of 5 and dinners for two will be a cinch--until then I enjoy having my kids all here and being involved in their day to day lives. Luckily we all seem to enjoy each other most of the time and have a lot of laughs when we have a free moment together!



















These three paintings will be on Ebay sometime this week!

My sister (Tamale Cat art studio), daughter (LauraBeth art) and I recently visit the Missouri History Museum to see the Vatican Splendors Exhibit. There were many beautiful things to see, many of the items were away from the Vatican for the first time in history. The visit inspired this serene painting, Holy Child. It is on Ebay now. The link is at the top of the page. Have a wonderful week!
