I feel fortunate at this time to be able to blog, as well as have a website that I can edit and control as my life and career change. It is a wonderful capability. For those interested, I can update the information and let them know what kinds of new creative endeavors I am involved in. As I am beginning, working on, or finishing a new painting, I can talk about it and share my thoughts. I would like to say that I just finished a new painting, not yet on my website, of two cherished cats that lived with me until about 20 years ago. Their names were Donny and Psyche. I adored them. I put them next to each other and in a garden in my painting. It is an unusual painting because you would never have found them next to each other in real life. Donny tried constantly to get next to Psyche, but she would have no part of it. They both lived to 14 and died within 4 months of each other. I painted this painting on a 16" round Convexo canvas. If you have never seen this type of canvas before, you must take a look. It is not only round, but rounded, gently sloping back from the front. It is extreemly sturdy and doesn't require a frame. I really en;joy working on them. Another painting I have done on this type of canvas is "Winter Birds." You can see this on my website. My current painting is of a tiger. I will check back in when I get further along. Thanks for reading. Terry
