  • Cats of May #2 – Black Cat Noodle in a Box

    Cats of May #2 – Black Cat Noodle in a Box

    I buy stuff online. So I get deliveries and until I break a box down for the recycle bin, our black cat Noodle will attempt to sit in it. No matter the size and she’s not a small cat at all. How she can shove herself into almost any box I will never know. And she will sit there happy as can be.

    This is #2 in the Cats of May series and is 3.5 x 5.5 inches vintage postcard.
    This piece is sold. If you’d like a cat painting of your own – just contact me about a commission!


  • I Had Some Dreams They Were Clowns in My Coffee… original painting on vintage postcard from 1902

    I Had Some Dreams They Were Clowns in My Coffee… original painting on vintage postcard from 1902

    This came from a very funny story I was told by someone who can really belt out a tune and loves karaoke, but she learned one night singing “You’re So Vain” that she had one of the lines wrong all this time.

    A friend gave me a huge stack of vintage postcards and I had to do a painting commemorating our very amusing conversation. I had to go listen to the song to see if I could that line… not really… but it’s still pretty funny. Apparently she’s not the only person that misheard that lyric according to an in-depth search on the web that lasted like 5 minutes.

    This is painted on a vintage postcard postmarked 1902. The size is 3.5 x 5.5 inches.

  • Cats of May – #1 Sleeping Ginger Cat

    Cats of May – #1 Sleeping Ginger Cat

    I thought for the month of May, I’d paint one cat per day. 🙂 If you have a favorite feline- get it in – your furry friend may wind up in this series.

    Now about this piece. This is about a ginger cat we had -he had sort of  a bad attitude and he was extremely likable on random occasions and especially when he was sleeping. We lost him back in 2003 and I still miss his grouchiness.

    This watercolor and ink piece is 3.5 x 5.5 inches painted on a vintage post card.
    This piece is sold. If you’d like a cat painting of your own – just contact me about a commission!


  • Respect – ACEO

    Respect – ACEO

    respect1

    I had a situation where someone I loved very much went totally mental on me and was yelling and even SPITTING on me. All because he had dreamed up in his head I had said something that I had not uttered. I refused to say I said it and he lost his mind on me. I didn’t want to fight back because you have zero to win in a situation like that.
    So I did art instead and let it go.

  • Kickin’ Nannies All Star Goat Show

    Kickin’ Nannies All Star Goat Show

    Along with sheep, I love goats. I also love burlesque. So they had to come together at some point and they did in a large-sized piece titled, ” Kickin’ Nannies All Star Goat Show“. I like the little goaty-guy that is holding up the signs.

    This original artwork  is sold and lives in a happy home, but I wanted to share it.
    There are also limited edition prints of the Kickin’ Nannies available for $25.

  • Aunt Irma and Napoleon’s Amazing Breasts

    When I buy a lot of vintage photos, inevitably there are CDV or carte de visite photographs mixed in. They were affordable and I read Civil War soldiers had their photos taken and printed with this method. It usually looks like a lithograph – I don’t know the actual process – but sometimes there are historical photos of famous folks – like this one actually was Napoleon.
    (My history buff friend started the idea of Aunt Irma by telling that towards the end of his life Napoleon grew breasts that were apparently pretty amazing.)
