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..........;)

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.

Yours Sincerely.

The pictured Cabinet front is a find from Habitat for Humanity (again)! When I went in last week in my flip-flop and sundress, the employees give me this look that says 'there she is again - the one who knocked down all the cabinet doors...'. I KNOW that is what they are thinking ONLY because of this ONE TIME when I DID knock down all of the doors. ONE TIME !!!

And that was ONLY because I saw this particular door that I just KNEW was the one I wanted! It was all the way at the top, and under a bunch of Heavy doors. When I pulled on it, they all came crashing down, which took what seemed like half an hour, but was only long enough for ALL of the volunteer employees who were wearing sensible, hard-toe shoes and cover-alls or Whatever to come and see me standing there in the midst of about 100 wood cabinet doors.

They said 'Do you need any help?' I said I would like to look at the Cabinet Door way up there on the top of the stack that was still standing, and one of the nice fellows got it down for me. But I didnt like it anyways. :)

And since then, they all give me this rolly-eye when I show up. Well, that does not stop me, and THANK GOODNESS because last time I found these 2 matching cabinet fronts, and I Just Know they are gonna turn out GREAT ! This one features a sleeping Kitty Cat, which has Cast a Spell on the Heart of this pretty, rennaissance style Witch.

Big, 18x24, sturdy and ready to hang, a real gem for the Witch Collector. Folk Art style, I plan on using the other recycled door to do a similar design, probably a Fairy Tale Witch, somehow holding a Big Red Apple !

And if those Volunteers would organize that Rebuild Store a little better, then I could find what I wanted a lot more easily.
