The Cat's Pajamas stuff

It seems as if there is some interest in a series of The Cat's Pajamas.  I am still exploring the idea.  Stay tuned to see what happens!  Merchandise? Hmmmm.....
Let me know what you would like to see.  What should the kitty's name be?

Cat's Pajamas

Wine Label for Witch Creek Winery
September 2010

Very exciting to see the final product.  Now, to see it on the bottle and to taste the wine.  Can't wait.  I worked on this project over this past summer.  Now we have to wait for the wine to be released, sometime next year.  Stay tuned......

More watercolor on yupo

Red Floral


I painted this while admiring an arrangement that a friend had out on her table.  I enjoyed watching the paint flow and yet the painting still remained vibrant.  This is the pleasure of painting on yupo.  Yupo is a "plastic" paper.  It comes in different thickness.  I found by prepping it first with a quick rinse of an abrasive cleaning agent, any oils from my hand or other unintended scratches are eliminated.  Because plastic repels water, the watercolor must be applied flat .  Try using yupo, you might just love it!
