"How to Paint Cats Eyes"

I finally started filming a painting video. "How to Paint Cats Eyes."  It was much easier than I imagined it might be.  I suppose that statement makes sense in many aspects of life. I feel relaxed painting. I don't think I've ever minded people watching me paint. Writing this I remember about 20 years ago participating in a Mall art show, setting up my easel and painting all day. I had so much fun. I remember the kids being so interested in painting, asking questions.  I think I was painting a cougar. Wow I forgot all about that. Anyway. It will take awhile for the video to be finished.  I have to let the paint dry between layers then add audio.

I'm going to make as many How to Paint video's that I can think of, how to paint fur, how to paint ears, noses and paws.  Then I can start making videos of painting dogs and on and on.  It'll be fun for me. Maybe not so much for my kind brother David who's filming all the videos.  If you like the finished product maybe you might have something you want filmed by my kind brother Dave.  I'm hoping he'll read this so he can see how much I appreciate him.

Here is the first layer of Chloe's eyes. Next Monday we'll film more. I'm so excited.

Holiday Boutique

Well hello out there.  Thanksgiving is past and the Winter holidays are nearly here.  I participated in a Holiday Boutique a couple of weeks ago that wasn't well attended.  The show benefited the Second Chance Pet Adoption and I think they did do pretty well for the pets. My friend Jennifer and I worked hard for weeks preparing prints in mats and frames for sale.  We designed a display and practiced setting up and taking it down. I got one of those credit card swipers for my phone and I did use it for sales.  We didn't sell a lot but we learned a bit about the boutique business.

We've signed up for another Holiday boutique December 7 and 8 in Tustin California. This one includes a tree lighting ceremony and Santa!  I think we'll change a few things in the display and hope for the best.  You wouldn't believe all the time, energy and cash I've invested in this project.  I think I've mentioned before I recently caught ambition and I'm still burning with the fever.

Please come visit the show if you are local to area, If you come to the show and tell me you read this blog I will be so happy that I will GIVE you a free print.  Limit 10 giveaways!!

This is the display set up in my office.  Pretty Holiday Boutique wouldn't you say. Well I'm glad to be back here and I will post more soon.

This is the link for the show.
