I’m packing my last orders today in a very HOT 🥵 studio (our little AC unit needs maintenance) then going home to pack for Maine. 🌊 This little painting reminds me though: Do you remember my mini ORIGINAL painting sale last Nov/Dec? I’ll be doing that again this year. Newsletter subscribers get invited to the studio to shop first, and then early access when they go online. Hopefully I’ll have 50+ paintings, framed, at $100 or less. Just an early heads-up. 🖼️ newsletter sign-up in bio! This was a little test painting of Truman Capote and a cat where I was trying to see if I could eliminate the shine of the ink with a dab of matte varnish. Nope. #cats #cat #writers #capote #famouswriters #acrylicgouache #gouache #menandcats #penandinkdrawing #penandink #painting #illustration
