Little Sparrow Girl

Here is my newest painting, "Little Sparrow." I have to admit that I am rather proud of this one. For once a painting came out how I envisioned it in my head! :) I just had a feeling that things were flowing smoothly with this one. Don't you love it when that happens? She is available in my shop.



She is not based on any particular story. I was just sketching some ideas and came up with her.



I also thought I would give you a little update on our new kitty Jasmine. She is doing really well, and is starting to gain weight and get a little belly :) I can actually pet her now without feeling all of her ribs! She is taking her thyroid medicine twice a day. I use Greenies Pill Pockets, which make life so much easier (they are little soft treats in which you can hide the pill-they don't work for a lot of cats but Jasmine loves them). She has to go get some more bloodwork done in a couple weeks to make sure she is on the exact right dose of medicine.

She is still getting used to our other two kitties, they don't quite get along yet. I think she was used to getting beat up by other kitties outside-she had quite a few scabs and a large bald spot when we took her in a couple weeks ago.

But as you can see, she is just enjoying being inside and taking it easy :) I hope you are having a great Friday and that your weekend is as relaxing as Jasmine's! :)

  6. Yes, I love when things come out the way I saw it in my mind, so glad your piece did. She is lovely and evokes all kinds of stories to be told. Happy for Jasmine that she seems to be healing well and is happy.

  7. I just love the details in her wings and feathers! Oh and the way you painted the curtains in the background is just gorgeous, all of those beautiful folds add so much to the details of the background.

    Great news about your kitten. Grueling days of lounging interrupted by snacks & cuddles are in store, such a life :)

  13. I am so happy that you took in Jasmine, she looks like a sweet little creature. Eventually she will get along with the other kitties, they just need to get used to each other.

    I adore your latest painting!
