New Years Party

We celebrate New Years at home because there are too many crazies on the road.  We watch the New York count down and then the Chicago fireworks , drink a toast, share a kiss and go to bed.  Yes, midnight is past my bedtime and I am not worth much past the hour of eleven.  But then, each day following is a celebration of the New Year.  I wish you all a glorious, creative year :)

And, Thanks to Rain, I have my comments back, so please come see me and say hello :)

This art work is a combination of digital cut, paste, paint and the people and cats are drawn and digitally painted.

A Few of my Favorite Things :)

For those of you who have tried, but cannot leave a comment, I am so sorry.  Blogger has changed things while I was gone and not being tech savvy, I have no idea how to adjust my comments so they will be accepted.  I am trying to resolve this, but since I don't speak "computer", I don't understand what they are telling me when I do find answers.  I am one sad puppy ... and open to suggestion if anyone knows what to do.

Double

I have four cats (yes, that qualifies me for being a "crazy cat lady" ) so this scene is not an unusual one for me.  Curtains and windows are among their favorite fare.  Double cats, double fun times two makes quadruple fun :)

Bottle

I find myself using water colors now, maybe because I don't need as much space to work with them.  Until I get a work table in my office, I have limited places to work that has adequate light and room for my "spread" as I work.

Chicken

I have been trying to get back to this for months, but there is just too much to do after a move and I don't really have an "art" space to work in yet.  But, I stopped over to see what was happening, picked up on the latest prompt ... and I just couldn't resist.  I painted the chicken with water color and then went to pic monkey to frame it and, once again couldn't resist playing with it a little ... basically changed the background.  Feels good to be back ... can't promise I will make it every week, but I look forward to seeing what all of you have been up to ... lot of changes, I am sure.  Feels good though, being amongst friends again ...

Wild Bird Wednesday

Horned Grebe

I have only seen this bird on our lake once  before in 17 years ... I guess I was lucky to spot them.  They are migrating through and will be gone by the next clear day.  They nest on northern lakes and marshes and winter on coastal bays and lakes.
