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! 🙂
