Welcome to my painting world. Here you'll discover the art journey I've enjoyed while experimenting with many kinds of watermedia. In my studio on the west side of Cincinnati, Ohio, I offer several weekly Open Studio Group Sessions filled with great info and critiques, as well as weekend workshops occasionally throughout the year. You may also find me traveling in Europe teaching watermedia workshops. Leave a comment if you like. Hope you will be back soon. Thanks for stopping by.

BRRRRRR!!!!! irthday!
It's another cold morning, but it's also a day to celebrate. Rhonda Carpenter's birthday is today. Happy Birthday, Rhonda. It's been a good year for her, and I'm sure today will be special, too. This month she was voted Watercolor Workshop Artist of the year - see info and accolades at http://www.susieshort.net/2008-wcwaoty.html or go to her diverse blog at http://rhcarpenter.blogspot.com/. Here's Rhonda experimenting with a new process in class... looking pretty contemplative at this point. Karen's behind her, and you can just see Kathy's hands in the back.
Rhonda loves cats so today's post is a painting of the cat we used to have. Sam was a gray, long haired Maine Coon cat with the gentlest disposition in the world. When he found us, it took well over 3 months for us to get to touch him. He was a mess, matted fur, etc. Eventually, he knew he could trust us. He lived to the ripe old age of 19 years old and was probably even older than that. He was the best kitty.

Happy Birthday Rhonda!
My sister had two mane coon cats, they looked just like Sam from the back at least, very cool cats they are. Lovely painting too.
Whow! I really love your work. Thanks for visiting, I am glad to have found you.
Great backlighting on Sam!
I love catching a glimpse of your workshop. If was closer, I would join you.
And I also love the cat painting - The fur is beautiful and so is the cardinal. Good thing he's outside!
Sandy, your work looks fantastic on Myrna's new slide show - check it out!
have a nice birthday
