Rainbow Cat series continues

"Blueberry Cat"
8x10 inches, acrylic on board.

... Coming up: Carrot cat. Also coming up: justification beyond the wild desire to do rainbow-colored cats and link them with fruits and veggies.

Kudzu Birds

"Kudzu Birds of Rt. 19"
8x10 inches, acrylic on wood.

Based on magnificent kudzu pillars off of Route 19. Guest appearances by the Sea Lizard, spotted owl (road-killed on 19 near Lebanon last week), watermelon (seen road-killed on 19 near Abingdon last summer), and the Environmentally Friendly Cat.

Titmice Talking

"Titmice Talking"
11x14 inches, acrylic on board.

Quite possible, the last small bird painting for a while. It may also be possible that the previous sentence is a filthy lie. (Been watching titmice on the bird feeder recently, and been wanting to do dogwood khokhloma-style for a while.)

Gnatcatcher

"I wish to be where the flowers are"
6x12, acrylic on board

Food? Food. Food!

"Food? Food. Food! Found food. My food!" (#2)

6x12 inches, acrylic on board.
Eastern hemlock and a chickadee. Inspired by "Mountains of the Heart" by Scott Weidensaul

Slate'n'junk

3x5 inches, acrylic on board.

~1x2 feet, acrylic on slate.

Been going downhill recently in terms of feeling isolated/unproductive/helpless. Not really sure what to do about it and not really sure if it's worth doing anything about.
