Sure, life is busy with a painting a day challenge so why not add a kitten to it? Not busy enough? Okay why not add two? Are we completely crazy yet? YES!

Yet to be painted - Mousse (as in chocolate mousse) McManamen

Even with the huge distraction of two kittens the painting challenge continues. A huge thank you to everyone that has subscribed to my YouTube channel. Much appreciated!!

The last and my favorite ornament painting of this season. Teaching classes in downtown Snohomish has it's advantages and disadvantages. The street the art studio is located on is full of antique shops and boutiques with lots and lots and lots of prop collecting opportunities. If I'm not careful it's easy to spend what I just made teaching! On the other hand I've found some pretty cool props. This antique Christmas ornament is one of them.

 

I spent the weekend learning how to make Youtube videos with my iPhone. Crazy right? I made my first art instructional video today. It's very rough. I certainly need practice but you're welcome to check it out if you like. It's about 8 minutes long...
