CAT ON A REFRIGERATOR, sold

My brother-in-law is part owner of a restaurant in the Cabbagetown neighborhood of Atlanta, Stone Soup Kitchen. I'm participating in a one evening art sale there--their kind efforts to help artists. So I'll be propping up small pet paintings like this one that night, Thursday, December 20. I initially did this piece for that show, but I just love this one and thought I'd see what happens if I put it up for auction. It'll also help publicize the event. This is LittleHardo on my refrigerator.

CAT ON A REFRIGERATOR is a 10x10 pastel on board. Bidding begins at $150. Click on title above to be linked to ebay. As with all my sales from my blog, 10% of the sale price goes to my favorite charity, World Vision.

ROSZA DRYING AFTER HER BATH, sold

"Rosza Drying after her Bath" was a demonstration I did for a class I taught this fall at Greenville Arms Historic Inn, in Greenville, NY, in the beautiful Hudson Valley. I think it's a lovely little piece. Hate to see it go, but I'm living out of boxes, hoping to move soon, and want to clean out my studio as much as possible. This is an unframed 8x10 pastel on PastelBord, a masonite substrate. Bidding begins at $100. As with all my pieces up for auction, 10% of the final sale price goes to my favorite charity, World Vision. Click on the title above to be linked to ebay.

"A NEW BOX IN THE HOUSE, II, " sold

This may seem very similar to a previous pastel I did, but it has significant differences in color and pastel application, and the white cat, Little Hardo, is facing away. It is from a series I've done of my daughter's two cats inspecting a new box in the house. Invariably, within minutes of any new thing's arrival into the house, the cats are on it. This box they have claimed as their own. A NEW BOX IN THE HOUSE, II is an 11x14 pastel on PastelBord, a masonite substrate. Bidding begins at $100. As with all my pieces up for auction, 10% of the final sale price goes to my favorite charity, World Vision. Click on the title above to be linked to ebay.

FROM A WORKSHOP, sold

I took a class from a wonderful figurative oil painter Kevin Bielfuss. My paintings were awful. I was so ashamed of what I did, I threw them away before I even left the classroom. A lesson in humility it was. But I had my camera during the workshop and came home and did a few pastels of the models. Much more in my comfort zone. Here's one. This is a 12x9 pastel on foamcore. Bidding begins at $150.
