Cat Daily Painting #28




This Painting is AVAILABLE at My Store

Daily Painting #28 “Cat”

January 17, 2008

“Cat” is a 6”x6” acrylic painting. Although I am extremely allergic to cats, I think they are so cute! I’ve managed to paint a few cats in my time, and was feeling like revisiting that subject for the Daily Painting today. If you look closely there are purple, lavender, pink, red and yellow highlights in his hair. Lots of color in this little cutie pie!

It’s funny, there are a few topics floating around in my mind and also in the minds of friends I know. The first topic is FEAR. Fear of all kinds of things. I even find it popping up in my head about random weird things. Not super fearful that these thoughts make me crazy, but more general thoughts. So I’ve started replacing the word FEAR with the word FAITH. I’ll give you an example. Instead of saying to myself, ‘I am fearful that The Oscar’s will be cancelled’ (if you don’t already know I work at the Oscars/Red Carpet… I could care less about who wins… I just like the paycheck the Academy likes to give me) I say to myself, ‘I have faith that the Oscar’s will go on as scheduled!’. This kind of thinking makes much more sense to me. So this is what I’ve been working on in my head.

The other topic that seems to be circulating among my friends is worth (in dollars). What are you & your services worth? I’ve realized that this has been something I’ve been struggling with for a long time, and just like that, decided that wasn’t serving me anymore or helping me with this issue by putting my paintings on eBay (thanks a billion to my Dolphin Pod at Chellie’s). SO, I am going to try something different. For now on, all of my paintings will be available for purchase directly in my website in the section titled STORE. There are still a few pieces left in my eBay store, but when they run out of time, that store will be closed down for a bit.

This entire Daily Painting process has been nothing but an experiment, so I will see how this part goes for now. So for those who told me they didn’t understand eBay, well… here’s your chance! The new paintings will go up in the store for a set price, first come, first serve!

So today I only have 2 links for you…
