It went from raining for 2 solid months to HOT, sunny, and humid, just like that. Oh, snap! Had to turn the air on for the first time last week. I can’t complain, we’ve turned it on in February before. This year, we actually had springlike weather, and a nice long break from the heat. I promised my husband this year that I would lay off the moaning and groaning about how hot it is. He LOVES summer. Me, I could skip over the entire season, and be happy as a lark (an old saying my grandmother used to say). I’m going to stay positive though. I am!! I’m going to take 5 showers a day, and I’m not going to complain. Yeah, sure. haha

Always looking ahead

Katie Jeanne - Aar Journal 6315 03

The secret to so many artists living so long is that every painting is a new adventure. So, you see, they’re always looking ahead to something new and exciting. The secret is not to look back. -Norman Rockwell

Katie Jeanne - Aar Journal 6315 001I got interrupted when I was painting this one, so I don’t think she’s finished yet. Although, I’m tempted to leave her this way. I like the dramatic colors, and scowl on her face. It tells a story. I’m not sure what just yet, but I’m sure if I thought about it for a minute, I could come up with something.

I have been spending most of May painting abstracts. Well, I’ve been painting other things, too, like a large girl and bird painting, and a large 6 figure painting. I’ve pretty much been in my studio around the clock lately. I thought it was only appropriate to title this one Caught up in Whimsy because that’s the life I’m living at the moment, and I couldn’t be happier.  

These peaceful moments

Katherine Jeanne Wood - M&H&SP 02
Sweet Pea has the biggest crush on Harold, and Harold can’t get enough of Sweet Pea, but they bicker and fight alllllll the time, still. It’s a power struggle, I think. Sweet Pea lived here first, and has seniority, but Harold is male. They still haven’t worked out who’s in charge yet. It’s quite stressful at times, so I cherish these peaceful moments with them together. At the end of a long day of scratching each others eyes out, they like to hold paws. It’s the cutest thing evah! Except when they start fighting over whose paw should be where..arrrggh. 🙂 

Katherine Jeanne Wood - funky bird series 03
La La La Spring

A couple weeks ago, I had the urge to paint with brushes again. I made mixed media bird paintings, some with collage. There are only ten, and they’re all different. I called it my Funky Bird Series, and you can find them in my Miz Katie shop.

This is a mixed media collage painting on 16×20 canvas. It was painted with palette knives, and artist quality acrylic paint. Can I also add that it’s my new favorite? Okay, great!! 🙂 Lucky you, it’s available for purchase here.
