Happy New Year! ( Better late...) I will try to keep up with the blog
better. I will try. I am painting cat portraits, birds, and working on a larger theme but I am not
ready to show that work yet.
 And I wanted to say:
Thank you - for coming by, for looking, for reading , for commenting. Thank you my sweets-
You are awesome!I really am thankful. Really.
 Miaow.

Holiday birdies-

Winter,acrylic on wooden panel- 12 x 12 inches

After painting cats one just has to paint birds- right?

First snow -2- acrylic on wood-

And really they seem to be so very appropriate for the season.

First snow 3-acrylic on wood-

6 x 6 inches SOLD

They are my ' holiday birdies' -in more ways than one.

 I want to wrap up with all the Christmas preparations, and then

take some time to plan for next year which will definitely

 include some profound changes in our lives here.

And all the while, I will be listening to Olafur Arnald's 'Living Room Songs' 

So I will wish you Happy Holidays, lots of good company,

yummy food, board games, long walks, book reading, skiing, swimming,

and all that is best fun for you in your part of this gorgeous planet...! 

Hugs:)

the comfort of cats-

In the middle of this mess at home (which will probably last another month),

I had the notion to find comfort in making some colourful but straightforward cat

portraits.

Cats seem to be symbols of domestic bliss.

Don't you think?-

And I am in need of that now.

 I will be doing a few more and see how else I can

approach the whole concept of 'home in bliss'.

I will be taking five of these 'looking at you'-cats-

to Arts Off Main this morning. It will be sad really to

see them leave the studio, they have been great company this week.

Better run and make some more then-

The current state of affairs-

Disarray- Disorder-Discomfort! 

Lucy seems to rise above it...

Her pink bow brightens up my view to the gutted kitchen.

Things have to get worse before they get better.

So they say!

Hugs my sweets,

New work in the midst of chaos-

Domestic landscape-

8 x 8 inches

acrylic on panel-

Our house is in chaos- We are renovating with a view to selling and moving.

I am trying to walk through the mess with my eyes closed and work

like mad in the studio. The result is lots of new work being shown at

Libby's Kitchen!

And if you are in town, we will be in party mood at Arts Off Main over this weekend.

We are celebrating the gallery's 8th Anniversary and will be donating 10% of all sales to the Vancouver Food Bank!!

Blogger and I have been struggling lately. Sometimes I can't download a new post,

very often I can't leave comments on your blogs- Bother! Hope it all smooths out soon.

Hugs,
