When I was checking MorgueFile.com the other day, I came across the pictures of this calico cat. She has such intense eyes and beautiful expressions on her face. I just had to paint her.

Crow Raven Halloween Painting

Title: Treasure Seeker #18
Size: 5 x 7 inches
Medium: Acrylic
Support: Stretched Canvas
Sold

About two years ago, I started a series of crow paintings in the size of ACEO (2.5 x 3.5 inches) called "Treasure Seeker." I have painted 17 ACEOs so far, and this one is #18 although it is not ACEO. #17 was created in October last year, so I have been suffering from a lack of creative juice on this series.

I hope to do at least two or three more ACEOs in order to help this character "Treasure Seeker" reach his enlightenment. Yes, it is sort of a spiritual journey of a crow. lol

"Paint Me, Protect Me" Wins 1st Place!

Size: 11 x 14 inches
Medium: Acrylic
Support: Stretched canvas

I've just found out that this tiger painting has won the first place at 2009 Wildlife Art Competition at Irving Art Association in Texas.

Last Saturday, I received an email asking me to fill out a W9 form for my "cash award." I was excited about it, but had no idea what my painting won then.

Apricat

Size: 2.5 x 3.5 inches (ACEO)
Medium: Acrylic
Support: Multimedia Artboard
Sold

This is Apricat, a 5-year old girl, spayed, front-declawed, and looking for a forever home at the feline rescue Cast-A-Way Cats in Hobart, Indiana. Most of the orange tabbies are boys, so Apricat is a rare girl. I hope she will find a loving home very soon.

This painting is currently on eBay.

My First Entries to MASF

Title: Merle Great Dane

Title: Mountain Lion
Size: 2.5 x 3.5 inches

Yesterday, I shipped these two paintings to the 34th Annual International Miniature Art Show hosted by Miniature Art Society of Florida (MASF). These are my first entries. If either one of them is accepted for the show, that would be a big accomplishment for me.

I would like to thank Mona Conner for her kind help and encouragement. Please visit her blog. It is filled with her beautiful minatures as well as very helpful information about miniature paintings.
