You can find me, in person, at KC art or pet events or volunteering at . I left a 20-year career as a public school Art teacher to pursue my dream of working as a professional artist.

Re-mixing a canvas print like this is a great option for those of you who want your pet painted into a fun scene I've already done. I'll be officially adding this custom offering to my website soon!

Should I call it a "re-mixed" canvas print or "re-touched" canvas print?

๐Ÿ˜น We had a blast at the first-ever comedy show called "Laughing Cat" ๐Ÿ˜น Hosted by the best cat cafe in town: Whiskers on SW Trafficway in KCMO.
Lots of talented comics performed while we sipped tasty drinks & laughed our butt's off. I laughed so much, my face hurt! (This is where hubby would say, 'yea, your face hurt me too'!) ๐Ÿ˜ฒ it's all in good fun. We're a couple of jokesters & this was right up our (cat) alley!
We hope they do it again ๐Ÿ˜‰

1st pic: Brian's shirt is my painting called Blep. You can get your own! Just comment BLEP & I'll send you the link.
My shirt is by my talented friend

Last pic: Whiskers has a drink called Razzle Dazzle! In honor of our pup, I sipped on that tasty treat! โœจ๏ธ

Finishing her ear: I already colored the charcoal where I want it. I let the paper be the whites of her ear hairs, so it's tricky staying out of those lines.๐Ÿ˜ฌ Here, I'm using my paper stomp to rub all the grainy charcoal bits together to smooth them out. #petraits ๐ŸŽจ #animalsareswesome ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿฆ”๐Ÿฐ๐Ÿฐ๐ŸŽ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ˜บ
