Black cat a day
It might be fun for October to paint a black cat every day. Here's day one. We'll see... I'm already one behind!

What happened to my kale plants
Time again for planting fall vegetables, and I can't help remembering what has happened to every little kale crop I've planted for the last three years. Every year, the worms eat the young plants down to the stalk. Worms like kale, I guess!

The way, way deep
This week's spoonflower challenge is on the theme of cephalopods. Here's to all the weird creatures at the darkest depths of the sea. I thought it would be fun to keep the palette to three muted colors and the figures as stylized as possible. The contest begins Thursday, October 1st. You can see the designs here then.

Tinker toys
Rainy days and Mondays... get me thinking of tinker toys. Actually, I was poring over the paintings of William Gear this morning, and for some reason, this popped into my mind. Happy Monday!

A family from Alameda, the finished painting
I've been busy with these family portraits for a while now, but I'm finally all caught up! Here is the final painting, ready to ship north. Alameda is an island off of the coast of Oakland. A big "thank you" to Laura S. for asking me to do this project and for being so great to work with!
Work in progress...

Florian returns
Here's a sketchbook painting I started back in May but never finished. Until today! Florian is a police horse, who slips away one Spring day, and has a few, errr... adventures. Along the way, he meets an escaped Budgie.
