Cats are Everything

'Words are Words, but Cats are Everything'

original acrylic painting

6x6 inches

This painting will be showing at the next local library show, entitled 'Letters, Unfettered'. The challenge this year is to create an art piece inspired by letters, phrases or the entire body of one or more non-English/Latin alphabets. I chose to use the Telugu alphabet and the phrase, "Words are words, but cats are everything".  The library show runs May 12 thru the end of June.

Well, today's painting was inspired by early evening lighting. The bright yellow-orange colors reminded me of the festive colors south of the border. Thus, this hare was soon named Juan. Visit my website to purchase and view other paintings. SpohnStudio.com

This morning the sun shone brightly, I moved all my seedlings out onto the roof top deck, the sun felt so good on my face as I sat there petting the cats... Then by afternoon the clouds had returned along with some wind and it looked once again like winter could make a return visit. This painting is how I felt this morning, when the sun was warm and it seemed spring had returned. Visit my website to view more paintings or to purchase.  SpohnStudio.com

I dug up a spot of grass and put it in a pot this past fall so my cat, Sally, could munch on it throughout the winter. Well, it only lasted a month or so and died out. But then up popped a self-seeded marigold which as been doing great all winter producing bloom after bloom. I took the small pot down from the window sill and painted this card from those inspirational blooms. Visit my website to purchase: SpohnStudio.com

Nancy's Garden

original acrylic painting

5x7 greeting card

 

Flowers create patterns, patterns of form and color and these are ever changing patterns. When you look at a flower garden, you first see the blossoms because of their bright hues, but then you notice the leaves and the understory layers, and maybe a bug or two.
