Maneki-neko-The lucky cat of Japan
My oldest daughter recently adopted an all white cat (she named him Jerry). She is the biggest cat lover I know, so for the holidays this year I painted her the Maneki-neko which is known to bring good luck. I made this one with the black and white outline using gouache and acrylic flourescent paints on cardstock. Looking forward to seeing her face when she opens it this Christmas!

Traveling vicariously by Art Journal
Even though I am such a homebody, I fantasize about traveling to places that are majestic and stunning. This is another art journal by Pentalic that I am filling up with places on eARTh that capture my attention and longing to experience that nature. This is a long work in process, but here are the first 9. Number 1 (Kirkjufell, Iceland) I am hoping to see in person next month.
Kirjufell, Iceland. Hope to see this mountain in March 2017! |
Canterbury Plains, New Zealand |
Southern France |
Arizona-I have seen these cacti up close, and they are amazing |
Redwood Forest, California. Mind blowing to see these gigantic trees in real life |
Colonial Del Sacremento, Uruguay |
Crater Lake, Oregon. This is an incredible sight in person, never get tired of see this work of nature |
Sagano bamboo forest, Kyoto Japan |
Cliffs of Moher, Ireland |
