I just had a little photoshoot with my cat, Mythe, who decided to come visit me while I was trying to do some product photography. I thought these turned out great of both me and my very black cat. It is always a challenge to get a good photo of him. So my art for today is digital photography.

"The Order of 12" Watercolor Mixed Media Collage, 9x12 inches, 2014.

A new journal came to life today. I am really excited about this one. I will officially list it on Etsy tomorrow.

Today I am only giving you a sneak peak at the new painting I made today. I am applying to the Wild Woman Show "Luck Be a Lady" at the River Gallery in Independence, OR with this piece. I am crossing my fingers that they accept me. If I am accepted I will reveal this piece at that show. If I am not accepted then I will reveal it here next week.

Wish me luck!

"Queen of Clovers" Watercolor and India Ink,

I just realized I never actually "clicked" publish on this blog post for yesterday...oops.

This piece was an idea I had last year and had written down in a journal to paint one day. I wanted skeletons holding the frame of an umbrella in the rain that is broken down to it's molecule.

It is finished!
It is finished...finished!

You know how exciting this is?

I started this mosaic 4 years ago. It was supposed to be a quick remodel but then we had kids and life happen, so this remodel has been put on the back burner. Every once in a while, I try and finish it, but I just never could, until now. Last weekend I decided it was time to finish this work in progress once and for all. So I have been working diligently for about 5 hours per day on completing then grouting the mosaic. I am so thrilled with the results and I will take more photos of what the bathroom looks like all put together, once I clean up my mess. (Did I mention grouting is a messy job?)

"Mermaid Dual" 6ftx10ft tile, stone, sea glass and handmade tile mosaic, permanently located in my home, 2014.

Three little drawings came into exhistence this evening. An owl, a queen bee and some shapes. These were created after a long day of working on a larger art project and dealing with real life affairs.

This mosaic is a sneak peak at one of the things I have been been up to for the past 3 days. I hope to finish and reveal it tomorrow.

Today I drew a very simple drawing about my love for little farms and good food. It was a quick drawing because I am working on a much larger project that is not complete. I hope to be done with it tomorrow.

I also learned a new trick in my aerial arts class this evening.

That's all for now!
