Mio, the black cat lady. 🖤 A commission that I Mio, the black cat lady. 🖤 A commission that I enjoyed so much as I saw a reflection of my own beloved cat Tractor in Mio's face and colours. Colours in plural? Yes, as the black is not a plain mono. Mio's fur has a rich brown undertone and lovely soft pewter grey lights. 🤗 And she has a curious and cheeky look in her eyes, such a character she is. 😻

Sunny sunday, and I am in my studio, my happy plac Sunny sunday, and I am in my studio, my happy place. Sun has lightened up the room, Hans Zimmer's Hidden Figures soundtrack sets my mood, and I draw a commission of a black cat. 🖤 Happiness is to do what I love, to create with purpose, to know that someone will be moved by my art. Thank you. 🙏

I wish you're having a beautiful day. ❤️
Ok, people, I've been off for a long time. Somehow Ok, people, I've been off for a long time. Somehow the life has thrown a lot on my plate, so I have been trying to chew those big chunks of challenges. 😄 I have been lucky enough to manage to continue my weekly painting sessions with my teacher, and this is the latest one, freshy finished. Whiskers are still wet. 🤣 And so a couple of news:
🌹 This fox will soon be available and added to my web shop. If you love it and want it, please DM me, I will provide you with additional info 🤗
🌹 I have added the hooded crow, common crane, and common snipe to my web shop. The link is in my Insta profile ☺️
🌹 many of my paintings and drawings can be seen and purchased in Mākslas Oranžērija, Elizabetes 63, Rīga. Here in Latvia, that is. 🤗 And will be for the rest of the March. I've been privileged to be exhibited alongside with many famous Latvian artists. 🙏
🌹 I will have another exhibition within the project "Birds at the feeders" as of April 5 in @raunasbiblioteka . The last one for this collection. After the exhibition, these works will be available. I will make a separate post with an announcement. 🤗
🌹 I will not be taking any commissions until mid summer. I will focus on creating new exhibition material with new bird illustrations and give more time to oil painting. ❤️
Well, in short, that is it. 🤣 Sorry for the long post, and thanks if you read it all. 🙏
