Something a little different for today, a girl with a bird painting! I’m having a little trouble staying with my theme of photo booth paintings, but what difference does it really make? I’m still painting..every day.
If you’re just tuning in, I’m doing the 30 Paintings in 30 Days challenge by Leslie Saeta, and Ayala Art‘s 29 Faces Challenge. I choose a theme to narrow it down even more, collaged photo booth paintings. It’s not a hard set rule, and when I get a little bored, I go off in another direction.
This painting wasn’t completed in one day. I’ve actually been working on it, off and on since February, believe it or not!! I had a hard time making it all come together for some reason. Finally, by adding the stars, it seemed to make sense to me. Now, it’s finished.

On top of doing this 30 day painting challenge, I’m in the middle of building a new website. I haven’t had one for a year now, and I’ve really missed it. But, boy, is it ever a lot of work. whew. It’s really starting to come together, tho, and I LOVE seeing all my artwork in one place. It makes me giddy!!
I’m trying to decide if I keep blogging here or redirect this link over to my new website, and merge Miz Katie with my new site. hm..
The main reason for my new website is because it has my name in the link. My real name. I’ve been debating whether to faze out “Miz Katie” now for a couple years, and use my real name for my work. But, since I’ve gone by the name Miz Katie since 2008, when I started painting full time, I don’t want to just drop it without giving people a chance to adjust to the change. I have a lot of followers who know me as Miz Katie, and it worries me that if I change the name, they might not be able to find me. Redirecting mizkatie.com to my new site would fix that, tho. hm..but then there’s my Etsy shop, and changing the title and link there. It might be too much. I’m going to lose some people in the change, I just know it.
Oh, I don’t know what I’m doing yet, but my new website looks great!! 🙂 Can’t wait to show you when I’m done.
Anyway, I hope you stick with me for the rest of the challenge. It’s been a lot of fun to see new artist friends commenting on my blog, and I look forward to following your links to see your art every day. It’s an amazing group of artists. If you haven’t checked them out, head over to Leslie’s blog, and 29 faces. See for yourself! 🙂
Golf Palette Knife Paintings
Girl’s Golf Day
acrylic palette knife figure painting
Remember back in March when I mentioned I was painting a golf series? I have forgotten to post anything more about it. Oops. I still haven’t heard anything about the book, like if my paintings are going to be in it or when it’s being published. I thought I’d go ahead and post the paintings, tho. I know golf is a serious game. haha I tried to put a little comical spin on it. I hope my humor comes through. 🙂

Going From Red to Blue..YES
I’m not a drawer, I’m a painter. I don’t have the patience to draw. I don’t like drawing. The days of worrying what my drawing looks like, even though it’s going to have lots of paint over the top of it are long GONE! haaaaa YES! And, I’m sooooo happy about that. I used to stress over my drawings, and take forever on them. Now, it takes seconds.. if I even draw at all because sometimes, I don’t.
Do you remember her from a couple weeks ago, and how I said she probably wouldn’t look the same when you saw her again? Yeah, the red had to go. I’m not comfortable using it any more. I know that probably sounds weird, but I’ve had zero luck selling paintings with red in them. Now, I’m superstitious, and I don’t want to use red in my paintings. A little red is okay, but her shirt takes up a lot of the painting. Too much red for my liking.
singing the blues
acrylic figure painting
So, I toned it down with blues. Even though blue is not one of my favorite colors, I like the painting more now. More photos soon!!

New 8×10 Prints Available
8×10 print
This week I’m focusing on making new prints available. I know not everyone can afford or wants an original painting. If that’s the case, prints may be more of what you’re looking for. These prints are not printed on a home printer. They are professionally printed, and shipped to you directly from my printing service. Prints are made from a 300 dpi digital image of the paintings. What you see on your computer screen is only 72 dpi. The prints are sharp, and clear. You won’t be disappointed. Click on the title of the print to go to my Esty shop to purchase.
