Music in the Air

Finished! I'm submitting this today for a show called "Art of Jazz" sponsored by the Berks Arts Council at the Goggleworks in Reading, PA - wish me luck!

Just for fun: the sheet music in her hair is called "Caravan" by Duke Ellington

Face 26 - Day 26

I have been negligent all month - i had every intention of drawing a face a day for 29 days but don't even think i got to 10! oh well, this face is in a painting i'm working on right now that must be done by tomorrow - hopefully with a lot of day light i'll get it done...thanks for looking!

Working on a new piece - Also, Face 22 of Day 22

I'm working on this piece for a show called the Art of Jazz - Drop off is next Monday so i hope to have it done in time and hope it gets in! The "music" that makes her hair is jazz sheet music by Duke Ellington called Caravan. It's collage and acrylic - something new for me...

(yes that is my messy studio in the background!)

I love painting these cats - and i love people's reactions to them - so many of them have good memories of one of their pets! You can find them HERE at my store on etsy!
