I've Been A Bit AWOL

It's not that I've not been painting because I sure have, in fact, I'll show you a few pieces of what I've been doing. T-shirts of different varieties have consumed my time and it's been fun, but I think I'm starting to wind out of that and back to working on paper and canvas. Painting on fabric is a bit more tedious because the paint really needs to be "in" the fabric and you lose some of the freedom that you have with painting on a regular surface. So... there's a season for everything. This one may be slowing down.

Here are some things I've been working on and some pieces that are for sale and may or may not be going with me to the Art &Wine Festival this Saturday in Modesto. Email me at DreamrKate@yahoo.com for purchase information.

This is a 4x10" watercolor in a glass clip frame.

And this is a

4x10" watercolor,

again, in a glass clip

frame.

This - same thing, different picture.

I love these glass frames. They're very different and add just a little bit of a pop to a shelf or a small wall.

Another 4x10" watercolor, 140 lb paper, glass frame. These will be for sale for $18 each. They're perfect gifts - the flowers that stay fresh forever! How perfect is that?  And they aren't JUST watercolors, they're watercolor, ink and oil pastels. Just so you know.

So.... here are a couple of watercolors that I just love.  They reminded me of ballerinas for some reason....

The paintings are 5x7" in 8x10" mats - which means you would want to get a frame that accomodates an 8x10" picture. I would have made them bigger on the page but for some reason when I do that everything gets out of whack.  These will be for sale at $25 each.

And last - are a few pictures of the t-shirts that I've been having fun painting.  No time for the ceramics right now but I'll post those after they've had their kiln time.

Last, and certainly not least - one of my favorite kids shirts.  Thank you so much for looking!
