If you’ve lost focus

Cleaning up the glass,
so I can mix a fresh palette 
for new oil portraits paintings. 

Portrait paintings before I revised them

If you’ve lost focus, just sit down and be still. Take the idea and rock it to and fro. Keep some of it and throw some away, and it will renew itself. You need do no more.

The painting standing up in the photo above now looks like this. I titled it Covid Weary because we all are, and who can’t relate to her emotions after months of this doom and gloom?

I like her better now that her hair’s let down. I like most people better this way, come to think of it. ha!

I’m so fortunate to work from home, especially during times like this. Never does a day go by that I don’t feel grateful, and thankful to everyone who supports me and my artwork. Every little bit helps, so if you ever feel moved by my work, and feel like sharing on social or with a friend who might like it, feel free. TIA! 

Hope you are having a wonderful Thursday. xo

Omgosh! I’m sitting here at my desk, head full of “I gots to do this”, and “I gots to do that” when all of a sudden I felt a tap my shoulder. I jumped and screamed bloody murder. Turned around and looked, and was my cat, Harold. Whew! 

Sweet Pea and Harold

Harold and Sweet Pea both have a habit of coming up to me, and tapping my shoulder when I’m sitting at my desk. It’s cute as heck, and I LOVE when they do it. However, it can feel like a person tapping me. When I’m suppose to be alone in the house, and they catch me off guard, it can be quite unnerving. ha! 

Maudie and Harold

If Sweet Pea taps me, it signals “I want kitty treat NOW”. She can be the most persistent little thing until she gets her way. If I don’t respond to her tapping the right way – by opening the drawer beside my desk, and pulling out the magical morsels – her claws start coming out more, and the tapping gets more frantic. HURRY UP!! GIVE ME KTs!! I don’t know what they put in the kitty treats these days, but that girl is addicted to them. 

Btw, we started to call them KTs because we thought we could get away with talking about kitty treats without the cats knowing. That worked for about 2 days, and Sweet Pea, that wise little girl, figured it out. ha! I swear, NOTHING gets by her. She is soooo smart. 

So anyway, Mr. Har-bear wanted to snuggle, and that’s why he was tapping me. Now he’s run off with Maudie, so it’s time for some laughs. Tom Sitter is hysterical. 😀 I would definitely give him a Valentine’s card. See if you agree..
