Here Comes The Rain...

I love the rain! (Well, occasionally.) I cannot think of a better way to spend a rainy afternoon than to curl up with a warm cat, a few yummy cookies, and a chick flick. ("The Devil Wears Prada" - an oldie but I love Meryl Streep in this film.)  

Then off to unleash some dreams on canvas. I dug out my coloured pencils for these pieces. Alice In  Wonderland, Little Red Riding Hood, and white bunnies seem to frequently invade my work.  





Spring is in the air! I can't believe Easter is just around the corner. Inspiration is all around me...

eBay Listings

Hello folks. I've listed a few more minis on eBay. A couple autions ending Sunday.




Inspired by a couple of mild days, these critters are basking in the morning sun:




Food seems to be my muse in a lot of paintings. I'm not sure whether it's Haiku always bumming a treat, or perhaps my own guilty pleasures.  :)

Haikus

Tunabreath

Tunabreath slumbers
Leaves dool stains and orange fur
On your black sweater

Fat Cat

Fat cat rests his head
Nap number eight for the day
As you leave for work

Lazy Belly

The lazy belly
Full of Friskies and mice bits
Gift for you later



Some thoughts inspired by Haiku this morning. Unfortunetly I did not notice the orange fur until a coworker offered a lint brush. And I was a big jealous as I left for work. And there was a gift on the carpet when I got home - mice bits or Friskies??? .....undetermined.

eBay Listings

I am so happy to be back! I've listed a few items on eBay. 4 x 4 minis on canvas paper, topped with premium matte finish to enhance and protect the colors. I have attached a full magnet on the back, so you can frame if you wish or display as is. Auction ends next Tuesday, take a peek :)

"Cat's Best Friend"


"Calico Cookies"


"Out On a Limb"


I have been super busy working on originals, prints, and some jewelry for my new Etsy store - opening soon.

On My Desk...

Inspired by a November snow storm...


Paw prints in the snow
Quickly vanish in white mist
Better get inside


Slipping on the ice
Humiliating for cat
Amusing for some


You said there’d be cake
That’s why I am not sleeping
In mid-afternoon

Welcome!

Welcome and thanks for stopping by! My name is Jen. My whimsical paintings reflect my many loves….cats, poetry, smiles, sea foam green, fairytales, mixed media, rainy days, cookies, daydreams….most importantly, creating and sharing my art!


I've been selling my creations on eBay since 2004. My favourites have been my cat magnets - painted with acrylics on canvas paper. I've been super busy and can't wait to share my latest gems. Check out my eBay  auctions and new Etsy shop soon!!



I am so thankful every day for the lovely people who stop by my listings and support my art.



PS: This is Haiku - my inspiration. (Poetry in motion :)
