The Gatekeepers - New work

Completed on 11-14-2015 -The Gatekeepers is my newest painting.  I am so grateful to be able to express myself in this way.  I cannot begin to tell you the joy and peace that I receive when I paint.  Whether its in the midst of turmoil, anxiety or profound sadness I am transported when I step into my  studio.  All is forgotten and I am there in control of my world .  The Gatekeepers is painted on a birchwood panel and is 20x16  with painted sides.  Thank you for stopping by.

Taking a Break ~Even from something you love to do!

Seems like time is speeding up these days.  Sam is back to school after a very pleasantly surprising week off.  I can still see his crooked smile when I close my eyes.  (Smiles don't come easy for Sam:)
I am back in my studio today.  As much as I missed my work these past 10 days,  I realize how important it is to step back and take a break. (Even from something you love!) I am recharged and so full of inspiration once again.  Right now I am working on a  commission piece that is coming along quite nicely.   I will not be posting any new work for a few weeks but I also have a lot exciting changes that will be happening to my etsy shop soon.  Thanks for stopping by.

Leopard In The House

This is my latest painting.  It is 20x16 painted with acrylics on stretched canvas.  I seem to be in my "animal period" these days. I am having a good time creating these dream rooms.  There is a lot going on here I know.  It's up for interpretation. I'd like to hear from you! Catherine
