I suddenly realized that I better start posting. I looked and noticed that the blogs I have followed for quite a long time had all disappeared off the side of my blog! When that happened-I don't know!
So!!! Snap to! Here I am! Long absent and not active. I'm changing my ways!
Here are the latest cards that I have created for my lucky relatives and friends. They have the originals and I'm sad to say that I can't enjoy them in all their textured beauty unless I visit them from time to time. But they might appear in a series of beautiful card sets in the not too distant future. Is that a cliche? But I'm serious about it as I just had a set of my last cat cards sell out very quickly and there were some sad people that didn't raise their hands and say, "Me! I want some!" Then zip. It was done.
I have to admit I love painting these soulful felines as they bring such joy and can be quite a challenge. It takes hours of time to work out the textures that shimmer or dim in the light. The eyes are especially challenging and I use a magnified light to see every detail. Believe it or not but they have many layers of colors that can be solid or translucent. Tricky to do!
