Meet Tom Petty

This is our boy Tom Petty. He used to weigh 4 oz and get bottle-fed didnt you Tommy!!! He hates when i talk about that. Doesnt he look Innocent !!!??!!???

A HOME for Lu-Lu !!!

This little girl is getting a New Home !

Her mom wasnt able to care for her and her siblings passed away,

but another mom kitty took her in, and nursed her.

Now she is almost 6 weeks, 4 in the pic.

She is ultra petite, but otherwise healthy.

Now She is Home Forever, and so loved....

CAT LADY

I painted this picture 2 years ago when my little black cat Tom Petty was just a baby. I fed him with a bottle, and here He is getting some TLC to help him grow.  Just like all Cat Ladies who are caring for an infant kitten, this lady is really tired, and trying to nap while the little one naps too.  A labor or love I will never regret, but Lord I hope its awhile before I have to do it again.  It is exhausting work.

Art Totes - getting ready for Fall Craft Bazaars !

My new tote bags are not ready yet. I hafta do alot more with the bag, the image, and everything. But its a start. I wanna use a much larger image, and maybe dye the bag to match the image. I dont sew, seriously, so what i do has to be with the painted image and some very minor other stuff like the dye. I've tie-dyed, and maybe I could add a snap closure by some miracle. We'll see. Stay tuned for better tote bags.

Painted Kitty

This sweet little boy hangs around the house and i feed him and he has a place to sleep too if he wants it. He is SO loving, wants to be petted whenever i am outside. So when I put my painting stuff on the picnic table where i like to work when its nice out, Here He Comes!
He almost walked onto the support, so I pulled him away quickly, then realized i had paint on my hands (NO!). So now He has paint on HIM!! U can see the turquoise dabs on His nose, ear and side!
Poor thing! There is some on his foot, here and there, and how is He gonna get it off???
Its acrylic so it will come off eventually and wont hurt Him. I just LOVE this little guy. The friendliest semi-feral I have ever been in contact with, and I feed em and pay attention to the homeless cats, so I have been around them for many years. I would love to have Him inside, but I have 3 already and my daughter has allergies too! I'm gonna order a really nice heated mat for the cat house we have, and probably some heated dishes. My hubby thinks that is Just Great..........;)

New View - Woo Hoo !!!

My Sweet Hubby did this for me. Now I can post any picture as it would look in my Living Room! Dont it look GREAT!

So potential buyers can see how it might look on Their Wall.

The other pic is of me on my Wedding Day. I mean OUR Wedding Day... :) It is not for sale.

THANKS HUBBY !!!

Silhouette Witch Painting with Black Cat and Moon Beams

So excited about this Silhouette Painting! It turned out exactly as I imagined, which isnt ALWAYS the case, sometimes my idea changes as I begin the effort, I see some possibility that would seem to work better, or realize that an idea just cant be realized.

However, this time the Moon Beams, background trees, even the insinuation of a cloud over the Moon turned out exactly as I wanted. Yummy. Its not a big piece, only 13x17, which still isnt exactly Miniature! The signature is on the Frame portion, not the inside painting, the Hat does seem to hang on the tree branch, and the feeling of joy and abandon is conveyed in the painting as I wanted, so I just Truly HOPE that somebody else sees it too, then I will feel Understood, and that my effort is worthwhile... So, we will see. This item is for buy-it-now style on ebay, instead of Auction format, which is really what I am doing with all of my Artwork that I offer there now.

The Auction thing isnt really intended for the Art, at least I dont think so. I could put a Reserve on it if I didnt want to sell until it got to a certain price. Thats an idea to explore soon maybe. How about you Artists out there? How do you feel about Reserve and Buy-it-Now as opposed to Auction format - LMK ! chat at admin@loralai.com or loryia.bond@gmail.com.

XX/OO !!!

PRIVATE REQUEST - For JJ's Mom

Hi. I finished this painting today. It has not been varnished yet. I want the paint to set about 24 hours. I couldnt take my eyes off of it, that is, only to dry them up with kleenex and blow my nose!!! I am a total sap for cats. Today my favorite Cat Lady came by for a donation, which I am GLAD to give cause She has helped me so much when my black cat Tom Petty was just a tiny baby and I couldnt get him to eat food - only his bottle !! :) She had 3 kittens in her truck, found in the bushes. She is truly an Angel, and a Cat Expert.

ANYHOW ! The colors are a powdery pink chiffon for the dress which has a swirly Rose effect, the hair is several red hues with a pearly white shine on the top, the black cat is several black hues including a kind of 'iron' and gloss black. The pearls in her hair are irridescent and shine in the light. The halo is a kind of 'swoosh' with the pearly white and gold mixed, which also shines. The background colors are a black cherry glaze over a coffee bean color, which is applied to the frame portion as well, in crosshatch strokes, creating an aged effect.

If u would like to buy this painting, the cost is $63.00 (about 10% less than ebay SOLD price for similar Artwork ). I pay the shipping cost. I can send a Paypal Invoice, or your personal check. The painting is 18"x24" and weighs around 6-7 lbs, so the best ship method would be UPS 1-6 days delivery. They have always been very reliable.

I would like to title the painting 'Always'. If you have another title idea, just LMK.

It will take another day or two before the painting is ready to be packed.

You can reach me at admin@loralai.com or loryia.bond@gmail.com

Yours Sincerely.
