Glad you liked it, too. <br />I'll start over completely on the acrylic sky. I have never been able to paint a watercolor sky I have liked, either. Such a novice painter. Have to keep playing, I guess. :)<br /><br />Anna--Oh, yes! Cats do like being next to a heater! :) The heater would win out over the box stairs--LOL!<br />I have plenty to play with, that's for sure. Keep me busy for years!! :)<br /><br />Tori--LOL! ;)<br /><br />Laura--Oh Karma knew that was a no-no, for sure! A last resort to get the unobservant human's attention--LOL!<br />Too many projects lined up--hehe! I do hope one day I can paint a sunrise that I like. One day. :):)Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043285884495492598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-73458693612955478432012-01-30T12:03:36.348-06:002012-01-30T12:03:36.348-06:00at least karma realized that what she was about to...at least karma realized that what she was about to do...was a definite no-no. a lick instead! good thinking karma!! just remember...who feeds you...and and lets you track little snowy kitty prints into the house!! ha!<br /><br />wow...looks like you have a lot of projects starting up! i like the sky painting!laurak/ForestWalkArt :)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00285156023840252154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-25994934408796080482012-01-30T08:37:06.994-06:002012-01-30T08:37:06.994-06:00Resents it a little...

Looks like something my cats would do - the higher they can be off the floor, the better (unless it is sitting next to the floor heater and sucking up all the warm air coming through the vent). <br /><br />How fun to have all the supplies to work with and create!

All my dogs sure did. But cats--some love it and some don't. Karma doesn't even like to be picked up. But she loves her head and neck being petted and scratched. She'd walk away before she'd ever complain about that--LOL!<br />Well, you have to remember I went to bed like only an hour and a half after Caroline left that day--so Karma was only up there for about 45 minutes. But that is still long for her--hehe! ;)<br />Hummm---mixed media paper. Sounds like you should try that! <br />You have a nice peaceful week--with not too much rain! :)<br /><br />Snowbrush--My goodness! I've never heard of the one Peggy had hers for. I'm glad you both had successful surgeries. I hope having troubles again with it is not a bad sign. I hope it gets better for you.

She looks like butter wouldn't melt in her mouth lying on her bed. lol Our dogs have no choice but to put up with our affection whether they want it or not. Truth be known, they always want my affection.<br /><br />Looking at what's going on outside, I'm glad you're nice and cosy indoors, Rita.<br /><br />The boxes do look better in two piles...sorry your wrist protested though. I have to be careful with my hands too, particularly at the base of the thumb where the arthritis is worse. Had to laugh at Karma climbing the 'stairs'. How funny that she was still perched on the box when you went to bed. lol Too cute!<br /><br />I packed my acrylics away and you have dug yours out of storage. Mind you, lately I've been thinking of trying some acrylic paintings on acrylic or mixed media paper. It would make for easier storage too.<br /><br />Have a lovely week.<br /><br />Love,<br />Serena xoSerena Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17789734075055678964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-13689293037516672352012-01-29T12:59:49.662-06:002012-01-29T12:59:49.662-06:00Iggy--ROFL!!

I discovered that they may look easy, but clouds have remained beyond my artistic grasp...so far. Wish me luck! :) <br /><br />Autumn--Karma makes me giggle every day! I love dogs, too, but cats and I are a better match. A cat box works better for me with all my health issues than walking a dog--LOL! Funny, I just dreamt last night I was carrying around my little fawn chihuahua I had when I was in high school. Booger. Boogs. No lie. Her name was Booger. <br /><br />Cindy--OMGosh! I'll have to try to google that just because I'm having a hard time picturing it. You'd think I'd be a youtube cat video watcher, but I'm not. I have followed Japanese Maru http://www.youtube.com/user/mugumogu, though--before he was famous enough to be in a commercial.<br />That's why I was so fascinated with his dark over light for clouds! You aren't taught that way for oils or acrylics. I knew I had to try it, of course. Not that I know what I'm doing in the first place--LOL! ;)<br /><br />Carol L--Yup! I've been itchy to get the paints out again. The art journaling is new to me this last November...curious to add acrylics to that, too. Snail's pace up here, though--LOL! ;) <br />I have to cover my paints and never leave out paint water, either, because Karma will lick paint and drink the water! Stinker! Good think I'm a bit OCD, anyways. ;) <br /><br />Snowbrush--When Karma curls more than sprawls she fits just fine--LOL! She likes to push against the "walls" of the cat bed. ;)<br />So very sorry to hear about your wrist. I didn't know you had surgery on it. My left one has permanent muscle damage, but they couldn't do surgery on it because the muscles were kind of shredded but not torn away. I am lucky I am right handed. But now I am starting to get OA in both wrists and in my thumb joints, I think. (I have OA all over--even my jaw is bone on bone.) It is so hard not to have the full use of your hands!! Mine comes and goes...so far. I can relate. Sending healing energy and hugs! :):) <br /><br />Nancy--It's strange how my body can hurt all over--back, knees, shoulders, hips, jaw, arms, legs, even toes--well, I've become accustomed to that. But when my hands hurt--especially my right hand--it really worries me. I do so love my crafts and art and writing...my joys being housebound. Well, they're feeling better today, thank goodness. And I'm feeling sooo grateful!! Have a good one. :) <br /><br />Carol C--Yes, lots to play with. My problem is I like so many things. I'm variety girl. Just wish I had more good hours to play--LOL!! But I can't complain. Smile every day, right? :):)Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043285884495492598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-90924212676640319192012-01-29T07:53:40.109-06:002012-01-29T07:53:40.109-06:00Melynda--I have been thinking about you a lot, dea...Melynda--I have been thinking about you a lot, dear lady! Blessings and very, very best to you in this time of change and adjustment. *love and hugs and healing energy* :):) <br /><br />Nikki--Oh yes! My ears were back, too--LOL! ;) I plan to paint over that sky and TRY to do something from my pictures--small bit of land and big sky. :)<br /><br />Theresa--Karma's quite opinionated--LOL! I was just trying to practice clouds at the time and couldn't create anything I liked. Try, try again, right? ;)<br /><br />Dee--Getting things down is generally much easier on my wrist than getting them back up. And more annoying to the people below me, I'm sure, as I have to practically drop them--LOL! Dagan and Leah--and Caroline--are used to putting boxes back up for me on occasion when they come over because I can't put them back--LOL!<br />If you follow me over the years you'll probably chuckle to yourself as I go back to finish projects or play with mediums that you won't have seen for a year or two--LOL! I am an oh so slowly rotating putterer. ;) <br /><br />Beth--I just took it easy for a few days. My wrist is much better now, thanks! Stay warm! I know how you hate winter. ;)<br /><br />Elisa--Yes, it's better. I'm kind of a "jack of all trades master of none" type of crafter/artist--LOL! But I do have such fun! :) Karma makes me laugh every day. Not that she means to. ;)<br /><br />Gwen--Oh yes! When they DO decide to be affectionate they just slather you with it like you are the most important thing on earth to them--LOL! ;)<br /><br />Lynn--We've gotten another dusting since I last posted, but with this crazy weather we get melting and rain, too. <br />LOL--could you see my ears back? :):)<br /><br />Sandi--Last time I moved it was overwhelming (seven years ago). I got rid of a ton of stuff because I moved from a two-berdoom to a one-bedroom. But I think I have managed to accumulate as much as I had before--LOL! Just packed it in tighter. I don't ever want to move!!<br />Karma would have to be the princess--because I am the queen--ROFL!!! ;P<br />Menopause wreaked havoc on my sleep and gave me terrible insomnia. Runs in our family with about half the women. I hope you check that out. :):) <br /><br />Jeannie--Other than one watercolor class (adult night class) over 20 years ago (she made me feel totally inept--all of us really) I only started dabbling with paint here and there about 10 years ago. (Took a brief adult watercolor class up here from a wonderful encouraging lady.) And you probably have gathered when I say here and there...it's toe-dunking years apart--LOL! ;)<br />You're more than welcome re: the card!!

My son and I were watching a youtube video of a cat called "Pork chop". He and his owner walk (crawl) together and kiss whilst the owner sings "walking for kisses". And the cat knows exactly when to kiss! That's devotion.<br /><br />Looks like you have a mountain of stuff to keep the creative juices flowing. Keep at the sky, you've made a great start. I find light over dark works for me with clouds, and keep your paints thinned.<br /><br />Stay warm in all that white stuff!Artoholichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03424626782787625419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-34024146059856039242012-01-27T09:29:21.147-06:002012-01-27T09:29:21.147-06:00PS: Thank you so much for the lovely card you sent...PS: Thank you so much for the lovely card you sent!!!

It's pretty small, and oh so crowded. Every room has either boxes stacked in closets, or shoved under beds! I don't want to move because the idea of it is so daunting!<br /><br />I love the photos of Karma. Reminds me of a cat we once had who thought she was queen! <br /><br />I would be super pleased with myself if I could paint as sky half as good as yours! I am not a painter!<br /><br />Thanks for you sympathy this morning! I think most of my sleep problems are menopause/hormone related.
