Cat ladies are back! Cat ladies are back!

Back in the day, I painted cat ladies. Red haired ladies with big hair. Big lips. Big honkin’ strands of pearls. Smug ginger kitties draped over bare shoulders. Bare whatever.

They were a hit with ladies who loved cats. Go figure.

I’m a dog person myself.

Eventually I grew tired of painting cat ladies and moved on to other subjects. Y’know…serious art. Which I love to do, by the way, don’t get me wrong. That’s most of the paintings you see on this website.

But cat ladies, bunnies, flying pigs & fish, strange looking people–the desire to make that kind of art (dare I say whimsical-not whimsical) never really left.

And with all the talk about cat ladies lately, well I couldn’t help myself.

Sometimes a girl just gotta indulge.

I’ll have some cat ladies both old and new at Open Studios this month. I no longer have a studio but was graciously invited to join seven other artists at Studio #6. Come by and say hi. And take home a cat lady while you’re at it!

Hope to see you soon!
