Brush in Hand

•SOLD "PATCHES"
Original ACEO 3.5"x2.5" Watercolor on WC paper

I am posting a little ACEO today, imaginatively titled "Patches" (how can it be anything else??) This is about as much as I have achieved thus far, it's cute :-)

Many thanks to all who posted me with their well wishes during my break. It was great to hear from you. My hand surgery went beautifully and I was able to start drawing for limited amounts of time just 2 days after the operation.
One down, one more to go! I will be getting the left hand done in February.

For any other carpal tunnel sufferers out there, I eagerly recommend this surgery. Other than the slight soreness and stiffness that comes with the surgery, I have not had any CT symptoms.
If you would like to know more about the procedure I got, or my surgeon, please do not hesitate to contact me at animalartist@justagallery.com and we can chat :-D

Calico Callie

-SOLD-
CALICO CALLIE • 5"x5" watercolour on rag board

Here is the finished piece of the work in progress I posted yesterday.
"Calico Callie" and I think she is a sweetie. I really love this color combo...maybe one day my 2 Birmans may get a new friend...

On the Drawing Board

Two items to share today;

First, I'd like to extend my warmest congratulations to Tracy Hall, a wonderful watercolour artist who's work I greatly admire.
Tracy recently entered had a number of her outstanding miniatures into the annual exhibitions of the the Royal Society of Miniature Painters, Sculptors & Gravers and the Miniature Painters, Sculptors & Gravers Society of Washington, DC and was honored with well-deserved awards in both shows (multiple ones in the RSMPSG)!
Check out the full write up by Katherine Tyrell on her 'Making a Mark' blog, and don't forget to visit Tracy's site to view her amazing work.

Now for something a little closer to home....


Here's a look at my current painting in progress; a close up of a dilute calico kitty, which I will be calling "Calico Callie"
She's got the sweetest face, and I hope I can due justice to those lovely muted colors. Not just a regular black, orange and white calico, a dilute is a "watered downed" version of that mixture, namely creamy orange, soft grey and white. It is a lovely combination, so please check back tomorrow to view the finished piece!
