Indigo Fantasy

If you have to be home it’d sure be nice to stare at something gorgeous, huh?

I finally got this painting posted for sale now on my website,

ColorCatStudios101 at Etsy

 I LOVE IT!  I kept it super sketchy for movement and glazed it in layers and layers of deep blues and violets.  Because of the glazing it takes on a glowing, stained glass appearance in person.  The colors are super hard to capture but it’s a combination of all these put together. 

This one, for example, is far too purple, and has too much light shining on it...

This one’s nice...

The many layers of glazing make this glow like a stained glass window, one color beneath another. ❤️ 

Another closeup...

 $700.00. There’s a lot more info on my website and I also give studio tours - and free gifts with each tour!  Just ask!

Finished Painting - Hint!

Today I’m celebrating the completion of a new painting!  Yay!! I can’t show it yet but tomorrow I’ll work on photos to reveal it tomorrow evening.  What you have HERE is a hint as to the color scheme.  So happy! #stayahome #quarantinelife

Cool, huh? Some of my favorite watercolors below...

This paint is SOOOO AWESOME!

This last pic is an Artist Trading Card (ATC) If any of you trade ATCs, let me know!j

This particular one is a ‘swatch card’ of some of my handmade watercolor paints from Indigo Arts on Etsy.  Love her paints!

Quarantine Time

Well, since we’re all quarantined I’ve sequestered myself in my studio and surrounding myself in violets and indigos.  I almost never show a painting before it’s done, but this background is just... so... cool. ❤️ 

An Artist Has Needs Too!

Wow!  You have no idea how happy I am that I found gloves!!!  Trust me, artists need gloves for safety too.  Stay healthy, friends. #covid #quarantine

Inspiring Dr. Seuss

It’s so true! God made us each as individuals.  Let’s spend our quarantine time exploring those wonderful things we usually don’t have time to do.  What are YOU going to do?  As for me... continuing to streamline my online classes, cleaning FAR more than I should, lots of family time, gardening, making music and of COURSE, making art.

Summer Art Classes

This summer I’ll be teaching metal embossing - oh, I mean SOMEDAY when we can actually touch people again.  This piece is beat up because I toss it in boxes and carry it places to use as a sample when I demo but I like it!  Anyway, here are four photos so you can see how it looks in differing light.  The copper is stained with blues, violets and magentas and something dark.  Anyway, we have that to look forward to! Message me if you’re interested in a fun class and I’ll put you on my email list.  Adults and kids alike love this class.  That way I can send out when I get dates set.

Metal embossing is one of the techniques that turns out beautifully even if the student is not an artist.  I feel it’s one of the most relaxing of mediums and you could positively forget yourself to the point that you drool.  Well, I wouldn’t, but you probably would. ;)

A Creative’s Outdoor Work

As for me, I LOVE staying home.  Today was pot painting day.  Looks like this year’s colors are yellow and blue!  As long as we’re home we might as well be productive.  What are YOU doing?  And yes, I painted these with leaves and then filled them with plants.  It was such a nice day to be outside.

Aren’t these so pretty? :). Here’s how I did it...

Starting to spread them around the yard...

And here’s the dirty truth...

Holographic Stickers

I’m pretty sure he’s dreaming about my holographic stickers.

ColorCatStudios101 at Etsy is where you can find them.  Super cool 3” holographic stickers, two for $5.00

You CAN dream about these; they’re so gorgeous!  Think of how they’d look on your notebooks, computers, well... anywhere! :)
