Pioneer Cats
We have a house full of sickies this week. My daughter is sniffly, my son is feverish and I am feeling just ookie enough to refuse housework. Okay, so I don’t have to be that sick to refuse housework, but now I have an excuse.
I’ve spent the last two days in my most favorite yoga pants and a sweatshirt playing Florence Nightingale to the kiddoes and painting in the studio. Since sick kids are content to be layabouts, it’s been kind of quiet.
I’ve been able to finish eight of the cat portraits for The Pioneer Woman contest giveaway. I can’t wait to send them off to their forever homes.

Beautiful cats. I am doing my first dog painting on Yupo this afternoon. I have done flowers on Yupo but never animals. Wish me luck!

I love these! Watercolor is such a great medium! One of my studio mates is a watercolorists too and I’m always checking out what he does.

The paintings are so gorgeous. I wish my Tiger had been one of the winners. He made the semi-finals but didn’t get any farther. Lucky winners!
