My Artist's Assistant

This is Miss Kitty, my well-loved, devoted, and extremely encouraging artist's assistant. Her help is invaluable, as you can see in this photo. She was keeping me focused on my work, making me move from one area to another so that the glue could dry, and adding cat hair to every single inch of the painting for textural purposes, of course!

Artists' Assistants can be hard to find and very costly, if you are even able to find the right one. I feel extremely lucky to have found the perfect companion, in all things artistic. :)

I love Miss Kitty! XOXOXOX

Another busy day--

1. Today, I finished wrapping and pricing eighteen (18!) small paintings that were actually finished in 2009 but not ready to show. Now they are, as you can see in today's photos. I will change the numbers now for the last time for 2009 and move on to a different goal--2 hours/day with the paintbrush (or other tool) in my paintin' hand!

2. We went to the office store for some paper etc. and bought a new inexpensive printer to replace one of ours that "died" or at least is in hiberation at the moment. Tonight, Roy got it going while I painted and then we both tried it out.

3. After the errands and dinner, we went to see George Clooney (sp?) in "Up In the Air" which proved to be a very thought-provoking movie.




Although somewhat of a "downer" in some ways, I'm glad we saw it.
Stay tuned tomorrow for news of the Fremont demo and other upcoming events!
