| "Vienna" 5 x 7 inch oil on paper mounted to hardbord SOLD |
I have been painting smaller works in between the larger ones, the larger intended mostly for the gallery I am in right now and the smaller ones are stocking the shelves of my Etsy shop. I honestly love both sizes. The smaller ones feel intimate and the larger works are a playground for greater things (and sometimes not such great things). In art, you never know.

| Gracie May 4 x 6 inch mixed media on paper...not mounted available on Etsy |
Vienna was straight from the imagination and Gracie May was from one of the gifted vintage photos I recently received.

| The Reservoir on a Cloudy Day 6 x 8 inch oil on linen mounted to harbord available on Etsy |
The reservoir painting was from a photo I took while in New York City in December with my sister. Oh how I love that city. And once in a while I just have to paint buildings only. New York City makes a great subject...almost as much as Kansas. :)

| Back of Ampersand Hardbord |
I have seen a few artists that mount their works on linen, canvas and paper to these Ampersand Hardbords. So I bought some small ones for my own art and I really love them. They are extremely rigid and the art lays so wonderfully flat on surface without any bowing. I use gel medium to glue it down. Plus you can gesso them and paint directly on them. They look and feel so professional and I think the cost is reasonable.

| Bean |
Our cat Bean disappeared over a week ago. We are now thinking he is lost forever...I have checked the shelter, made flyers and everything...still no sign of him. He was 12 years old and a really great cat with a ton of personality and he could make anyone fond of him. Even people that don't like cats liked Bean. We miss him a lot. Our other cat and our dog have been hanging around each other a lot, which they normally don't do. I think they are comforting each other.
I am sorry to add on a sad note like that. We're okay...just miss our sweet kitty.
I hope you have a great weekend!!
♥ Lisa
