I paint with acrylics on watercolor paper, using the process of layering the paint and scratching back to reveal unique colors and textures in my paintings.
 
Tuxie with Mom's Majolica Picher - When I set a still life to paint one of my Mom's pitchers; Tuxie, our cat, jumped up on the table and made himself at home around the pitcher. I quickly took some photos which I used to sketch him in.  Tuxie is not the most handsome of cats but he has a wonderfully quirky personality and we love him dearly.  I tried to capture his funny look.  This was my first cat and pitcher still life.
