ACEO Bounty


The challenge was to create an art card from trash/found items.

Looking around my studio, there was a wrapper from a Reeses bar (How'd that get there?) and some backing from tape, and some printed adhesive paper and some torn directory pages ( I use old phone books as a work surface--catches spills, and rip off the top sheet to find clean sheet below!)
Anyhoo, put it all together and I found a sweet, choco-Holly-go-lightly gal, named Candy.

At the end of the event, a lucky winner will win all the unsold Bounty Cards created by the 72 participating Artists.

Florals and Still Life


Lately I have been compelled to do florals, as well as my typical feline art. I have been gathering small bouquets from my garden, and creating little floral paintings. You can get lost in the detail, the intensity of the vibrant colors, and the perfection of Natures blossoms.
