One of my Halloween Treasure Boxes has been accepted for publication in the Somerset Studio Gallery Magazine, Summer 2012 edition. Needless to say, I'm thrilled!

I started painting Attired Animal Realism...once more! These oil paintings feature clothed cats posing as seen in old masters' portraits of long ago.  To see what's available, visit my web site:

Original FAIRY CAT Cigar Box Purse by Federico

Hand painted! This eBay auction ends this Thursday, August 11. This will probably be my last Fairy Cat themed art for the season since I'm concentrating on...Halloween Art!

 

Artwork in Progress

4 Halloween mini-paintings, 2 Halloween purses, 3 Halloween pendants, 1 Halloween trinket box, other jewelry, a custom cat painting, and....an Easter themed box featuring bunnies and a winged black cat. The Easter box is a bit of a struggle for me since I prefer working with dark jewel tones, black and fall colors, not pastel colors!

Blogging Away!

Still sprucing up my blog...what do you think of the design? That's my Angelina as the background.

I'm also thinking of offering a blog giveaway, something I've never tried but other artists do...

Original and Hand Painted Angel Cat CIGAR BOX PURSE

Now on eBay! A one-of-a-kind flying black cat with golden wings cigar box purse!  This auction ends on Wednesday evening, February 16.

 

Available art on my web site!

I've FINALLY set up my web site to sell some of my art!  PayPal, of course.  At this time I'm only selling to those within the United States.  I still sell on eBay and Etsy, too.

Words escape me....

Oh how I wish I had the Gift of Gab. Maybe I would write on my blog more often! As I sit here in front of the pc with one of my poodles in my lap, I'm racking my brain wondering what to say.  Here goes nothin'!

This week I've been working on several projects, a fairy cat cigar box purse and two trinket boxes, a Siamese and a tuxedo cat.  Last night I did a few sketches for future Halloween ornaments.  Also, rabbits to go on a Spring treasure box.  Rabbits, you say?  You'd think those would be a piece of cake for me since they are kinda close to drawing cats....aren't they?  But no, they're stocky with fat feet.  I don't like fat feet; cats have dainty and feminine feet!  Even polydactyl cats.  Our Angelina walks like a stalking panther even with all four feet having multiple toes.  Anyway, the Spring box will, of course, feature a cat.  Don't worry, the cat will be nice to the bunnies...
