Working on some Art Cards. It has been awhile. These will go into my Etsy shop.

Art Cards, by the way, are small works the size of traditional collectible cards; like base ball cards. Two and a half inches by three and a half inches.

One of my favorite subjects: cats. Meanwhile wooden blocks are laid out, waiting for the next layer of detail. Also rejuvenated my paints today with extender. Drying time on Acrylics is a blessing and a hindrance....

What better way could there be to spend a Friday night? Paint and Purrs*

One of the things that amuses me, is the constant shadowing of my dog. It led to putting a little doggie bed on the floor next to the drawing table.
She will leap up and follow me to get a refill on water/tea/coffee or to go down the hall to check the computer or to cross the room to get something from a drawer! Constant shadow puppet.

Starting a batch of Art O Mat blocks. This series is being done on wooden blocks. The image is of a Victorian Era woman on one side, and  a feather image on the other.
She has a feather in her hair. which ties the two images together.

I am painting with Acrylics. I paint a few at a time, in order to finish a small batch that can be mailed asap.

The block on the bottom row, is my "Master Copy".  A replica of the original sample I submitted to Clark W. at Art O Mat, that was approved. Each of the future blocks I make for this particular series, must, more or less, look like the original idea.
