A Bit of Whimsy



I was doing some much needed cleaning in my studio yesterday when I came across this remnant from my previous life as a greeting card illustrator. These are watercolor illustrations of a card collection called "Kitty Cove", where we visit a charming little seaside town populated by cute kitties ( :


They're all a little under 8" x 6", painted on Arches watercolor paper, and were designed to be diecut along the top (except for the horizontal one). Most of them also have a kind of blank area where the title would be dropped in (like, Happy Birthday!). I know there were originally 20 designs; I don't know what happened to the other two. If I were to do them again I'd try to paint them a little more loosely, but overall, I'm actually still kind of happy with them.

They're for sale, if you'd like one or several (I think they'd be nice in small groups in a kid's bedroom) so if you're interested email me. I'm selling them for $50. each plus $5/shipping (if you buy more than 1, you only pay one shipping charge.)

T is for Tavern- sold

Oil on panel, 6"x8"
Another painting of my favorite building in Providence. This and others can be seen at the Foundry Holiday Sale, which opened last night. My friend Ed Huff shot a number of 360 degree panoramas at the opening, fun to look at, which you can see here. Be sure to look all the way up, and all the way down!

Oil on panel, 10"x8"
I got off to a great start with this portrait, but then the model took a break and never could quite get into the pose she was in before. In a three-quarter view it REALLY shows if your anatomy isn't right, and eventually I stopped trying to fix it and wiped off a chunk to repaint. It was toward the end of the evening, so I didn't have much time left, but I was reasonably happy with the result, considering.

On another note, the opening reception for Save the Bay is tonight (Thursday). $25.00 gets you food, drink, and some great company. If you're going to donate to a good cause, what's better than this? If you're in the Providence area, come on down. Oh, and did you say that piece of artwork on the invitation looks familiar? Yes, it is mine...
