You Have My Attention

Another boring, very cold February day. Woke up with a migraine, but the medicine worked so I got a workout in. I'm so very sick of winter. This watercolor painting of a calico is not my cat, but I liked the eyes in the photo reference so I painted it for today.

Cats are mysterious creatures. You always wonder what's on their mind and they don't were their heart on their paw like doggies do. I used to be a big cat fan, but since adopting my Mini-Schnauzer Cooper 4 years ago, I'm crazy about doggies. We still have a cat in the house and I love him as much as he'll let me but my Cooper is ready to give doggie kisses 24/7.

But the eyes of a cat are like jewels, at least I think so. This cat wears her heart on her collar. She's a little plump but carries it well. She's a avid reader and is available for adoption. See my etsy shop for more details. - Brande

Double Take

Indigo Bunting, 4 x 4 inches, Oil on Board Click to Bid I'm fortunate to have a mated pair of Indigo Buntings visiting my bird feeder. I say that because I've had the bird feeder for over 10 years and my first sighting was last week. The male of this species sports stunning ocean blue feathers...some teal in there also. I paint with a very limited palette, so I was challenged to come up with the right mixtures. But it wasn't very long before I realized that mixing the right "Indigo" color wouldn't be enough. So I subdued everything else, to include his cute little beak.

June Daisies & A Bee

http://www.dailypaintworks.com/buy/auction/61715 June Daisies & A Bee 5 x 5 inches, Oil on Board I have daisies in two different flower beds on my property. I also have more than one area with raspberries, both black and red. So for the past few days after supper, I've been outside picking, watering, weeding and cutting. For today's painting, I decided to return to the garden and clip a few very fresh daisies. I've been experimenting with painting bees and decided to add one to this piece. What is left for today is studio cleanup and then order dinner-in from our favorite Italian takeout. My wishes for a blessed weekend go out today. - Brande

Business & Art Law take two

Business & Art Law take two 6 x 6 inches, oil on board http://www.dailypaintworks.com/fineart/brande-arno/business-and-art-law-take-two/77676 Something got into me with respect to my first attempt at painting these two books, That post is just below this one. Everything is the same EXCEPT that I scraped off the painting yesterday because I didn't like the out-come. Someone else did like it and asked about buying it. So I repainted it today. I was going to repaint it anyway.
