My cat the painter

So I was going to make this really cool post displaying all my must-have art and craft supplies...









But as you can see quite the distracting feline took charge. I had this colorful idea in my head that I'd do a display of tubes of paint, cans of sealant, spools of ribbon, containers of brushes, piles of scratch paper, and stacks of canvases and coolers. But as usual, my nosey little cat Penny got in the way of my blogging project. Don't get me wrong. I love this little ball of black, white and caramel fur...but she is just such an attention hog that I couldn't resist a photo shoot.. So ladies and gents, may I present to you: my cat, the painter. (ok, so she didn't really paint anything...but hey, she tried)

P.S. Up there you saw some images that show some of my must-have supplies and how I organize them! I bought a cute bamboo silverware caddy at T.J. Maxx (you should go) -- it's probably one of my favorite stores and guiltiest pleasures. Anyway, it was like 7 smackers and it's the perfect organizer for my paint pens! I use paint pens on almost every project. They are my #1 must-have supply! You will also see paint brushes, sparkly acrylic paint (a fun accessory paint!) and the always important and useful, scrap board (or paper)...I usually find some cardboard to doodle on, clean brushes or pens, or to protect surfaces from a paint mess!

Funky Family Tree



Molly is one of my favorite people to paint for! She has the best ideas, and came up with a very thoughtful and unique present idea for her family's Christmas gift! She had be paint two "family trees" for her mom and dad and then aunt and uncle. The design is quirky, slightly traditional, but fun and meaningful. Such a cool keepsake! I love when I am presented with challenging, unique project ideas, especially when it is something that means a lot to the customer. Cool deal for sure.

This was painted on a stretched canvas with variation of acrylic paints and paint pens.

Thanks Molly!
