New Paintings!



I think that cats are going to be a recurring theme in every series i do. These are from two series: Quilts and Women; both have cats, curiously. ;-)

This is how i want to paint right now. I want to make happy, colourful folk-art paintings. I want to paint small (they are 6x6 & 5x7). I want to paint fun scenes from everyday life. Maybe they're more suited to greeting cards, but it's what i want on MY walls, so that's what i'm going to paint.

One thing that will probably keep me from ever becoming a 'real' artist... IE: one who actually sells their work... is that i still don't want to part with my paintings! How does one actually get over that? I just don't know! I paint what i love, and i love what i paint, and i want to keep it! :-D Oh well.

Anyway, here they are (along with their numbers for my reference sake):

23-Qui2-SawtoothWithSiamese

24-Wom1-TryingToRelax

25-Wom2-UnhappyParticipant
