Merry Christmas Michael 2009

We are all awaiting Katies' new paintings. Thumpie just seems to be her favorite subject to paint. Since last summer she had wanted to paint something for Michael. Her original idea changed. She paints with love and cannot get started until she has most of it worked out in her mind. This is her third Thumpie and thwre is texture in part of the background. I definitely think Michael felt he came away from Christmas with the best gift.

Avocados

Acrylic. When she painted this she called herself a "recovering vegetarian."

This little jewel originally hung in her kitchen at home but in 2013 has moved to our mantel at home.

Blue Thumps

Acrylic - very large; Thumpie was our Yorkshire Terrier, a family member who died in 2011. This painting was painted in 2009.  He loved Katie and our entire family. Katie calls him Thumps or Peanut Butter and has a special bond with this little being. He was 13 years old when this was painted and had a most lovable soul.
