I don’t know how long I’m going to offer this painting for sale. It’s one of my favorites. So, if it doesn’t sale fast at this low price, I may delete the listing, and keep it for myself. So, if you want it, you should buy it before I change my mind about listing it.
It’s day 11 of AEDM. Oh, yeah..11.11.11. How cool.
And, happy PPF, too.
I started reading I’d Rather Be in the Studio! last week. I can only say positive things about it so far. I’ve had it lying around the house for about 6 months, and haven’t had time to read it yet. I’m taking lots of notes because I’m sure I’ll forget a lot. It’s jam packed with good information.
I’ve been editing this video of Sweet Pea for two days now. Have I told you how much I hate editing video lately? lol It just isn’t something I enjoy at all, but I make myself do it. How else will you be able to see my amazing cat in action? I’d invite you over to visit, but my house is a mess right now. lol
I didn’t give it much thought, and put it against the wall in my studio. Well, she hardly ever used it. I was cleaning the other day, and decided I was going to chuck this thing..it is in the way. I put it out in the middle of the floor, and this is what happened..
I guess we have to keep the thing now. lol

Day 9 AEDM
Morning Coffee
original painting
5×7 on canvas board
I need my coffee this morning! I was woken abruptly by a cat named Sweet Pea running FAST over the top of my face, and down my body WITH HER CLAWS OUT the entire time. She needed traction, I guess. Needless to say, I hurt. I have scratches. And, I was angry. It’s not the first time this has happened, and it probably won’t be the last. Not a great way to wake up on a Tuesday.
This, after what she did yesterday. She was in my arms, purring, and all of a sudden she let out a yowl…jumped up, scratched and bit my face, and then jumped off me. Oh, she’s a real “sweet” pea, alright. I keep saying she needs a name change because sweet she ain’t. She’s really the most mean spirited cat I’ve ever had. Don’t let the “she doesn’t have eyes” part fool you for a second.
She can be snugly like this one minute, then..look out! She has bitten me in the face more times than I can count..for no reason. I’m not bugging her or playing. She’s cuddling and purring, and then she snaps!!! She’s freaking psycho. I don’t like it. I don’t like it at all. And just because she was born without eyes doesn’t mean I have to like everything about her.

Morning Coffee
So, I got up early. Like 5am early. I probably could have gone back to sleep because I was up quite late, and I’m tired. But, it would have been too much work to get back to sleep, and I thought I would probably sleep late if I did that. So, I’ll switch back over to being a morning person for a while. ha.
Seriously, I can’t decide if I’m a night person or morning. Either one, doesn’t matter. I like being both, and I keep switching back and forth. I used to think I should pick a schedule and stick with it. But, I have finally come to the conclusion that in the big scheme of things, it matters not. I am an artist. Not a 9 to 5er. I work at home, so if I’m in my studio at 5am or midnight, who cares? I’m getting the work done. It doesn’t matter what time it is. I’ve been beating myself up over stuff like this for too long. Truth is, I rather like having a different work schedule every day. Sure is better than being stuck in a boring 9 to 5 routine. Been there, done that. Hated it. I’m my own boss now, and it’s about time I act like it. Yes!!!
Anyway..I digress. Morning Coffee is painting I did a few months back, but I decided to spruce it up a bit yesterday before putting it in my Etsy shop. It had words on it, but I like the plain black background better.
Day 8 of Art Every Day Month. Woo!
Are you a morning or night person? Do you have a messed up sleep schedule like I do? Let me know in the comments.
Pretty Please

Wishing, hoping for..something.
Day 6 of AEDM. Starting where I left off yesterday. It was really starting to fill in. I had the skin tone going in the direction I wanted, but the eyes were bugging me. Didn’t really like them, and the more I looked at them, the more I knew they had to go. Funny because when I look at the photos, I like the eyes. Just needed a little tweaking. But, no..I blocked them out, and started over.
She looks evil, doesn’t she? I left her eyes like this for quite some time, just so I could laugh at the demon look. lol
This is the finished painting..

Pretty Please is available in my Etsy shop now.
