Blue, Too

"Blue, Too" or "

Blue, Two"
July, 2008

I've been painting lots even though I have nothing posted to show for it. I have 5 pieces that are going to be at the Feral Cat Project benefit this coming Saturday.

I've been working on another two besides the ones slated for this show, so I thought I was in good shape. No rush. But, I ended up needing another day to scan and put the final touches on the items needing to be dropped off today. So, Rick scanned the five items for me so I could concentrate on painting.

This particular painting showed in 2006 at the same benefit. It didn't sell then, so I played a bit more with the colors. It will be the cheapest item that I painted at the show and hopefully it will move out of my closet and into someone else's house. All proceeds from this sale go to the Feral Cat Project.

Blue

"Blue," 2006

My friend Barbara scanned a number of my first acrylic paintings for me.

I have had the wonderful support and encouragement of many friends: Barbara, who contributed digital pictures of her and her partner's animals and scanned the results; Tina, who has always been supportive and enthusiastic about my writing and drawing; Rick, my husband (boy, that sounds weird), who tells me I have an artist's eye and has paid for all my art supplies -- and classes -- for the past few years, and many more....

This painting was one of two painting created for a fundraiser for the Feral Cat Project. Alas, it didn't sell and I've since changed it a bit, darkening the blues and adding more color.

I mention Tina above because she contributed the digital photo of her neighbor's cat.
