My...What Big Tail You Have!

I had a big up-rooting this year.....moving from the East Coast to the West Coast......landing in Southern California.  My paint supplies & brushes are unpacked and I'm back on the canvas!
 

 My latest is the mystical Snow Leopard.  This crazy colored cat has an unusually big tail.......proportionally equivalent to the length of its body.  This helps the animal balance when jumping over rocks and crevices.

Painted Rocks!

I've been getting ready for a local art show & workshop for Painted Rocks.   Painting on rocks is a unique medium that can be fairly labor intensive......requiring minute details using tiny brushes & alot of patience!  But each piece is a unique study with lots of character, and a great way to paint two dimensionally on a three dimensional surface.   

 

Here's some rocks that I've worked on:

Guinea Pigs

Box of Produce

Three Owls

Snow Leopard
