Thanks for stopping by!

Here are some of the last works from a collection I bought from the family of one of my collectors (the fish and the mermaid on the saw). They wish her to remain anonymous. Also posted here today is one of the first pieces I have made in my new homestead cabin art studio, Cat Dreams. I'm also posting some collaborations with Leslie Mariah Andrews and some collaborations with thrift store paintings, made in the past few weeks.

My neighbor Josh told me he might have a cabin I could have (it was on his property) when I showed him the cement pad I had poured when I was also having cement poured for my new catio on my house. One of our neighbor's had given him the cabin and he hauled it over for me on a trailer he rigged up that the cabin could fit on it. Thank you, Josh! I am so blessed to have such an amazing neighbor, don't move to Quartzite, please, Josh!

This cabin art studio has been my summer project! So grateful for all the help on it this summer from Josh, Olin, Stephen, Chief and Kathi helping with gardening.

Here are this week's postings in a group photo and the yard lady on the patio:

Here is my fabulous new homestead cabin art studio, on the lot next door to my house. Thank you to my neighbor Josh for giving me the homestead cabin, a neighbor of ours had given it to him years ago and he wanted it to be an art studio for his kids but I think they had other interests. I enjoyed making art this past month in my studio.
