Hello everyone!

I have an update about my original skelly paintings! I've been listing new skelly mini paintings over on eBay for the last few nights starting with the "Tea Cup Skelly" on Sunday, "Skull Sitter" on Monday, and "Star Catcher" tonight. I have a new one with two skelly cats and a skelly dog waiting to go to auction tomorrow. I will be listing it around 7pm Mountain time. I will not be sending out a mailing list for every new mini I paint. I plan on painting several new pieces a week for the next few weeks if time permits, so sending out a new mailing list for each painting would take up far too much time and be a nuisance for your inbox. I will try to send out a weekly update. If you want to know as soon as one is listed so you won't miss out, just make sure to check my Facebook or Twitter feed daily around 7pm Mountain time. I will post it there right away:)

Today is Cinco de Mayo, but it's Skelly de Mayo every day this month! Here's a nice article about Cinco de Mayo in both Spanish and English. ♥ http://strategicpromotionforsuccess.blogspot.com/2012/05/cinco-de-mayo.html

#10ThingsIWantToBuy is trending on Twitter. Here's my really deep answer: A house, a new knee, A Team Zissou Intern shirt, a More Cowbell shirt, 2 tickets to Paradise, a soul, a starship, a derby hat for my cat, & a Jessica Joslin poster. And yes, I'd take a Team Zissou Intern shirt over the soul;) ♥

Let me introduce you to our new cat Derringer. As "Chicken Sandwich" was just not cutting it, I had to rename her. I'm not a fan of guns (though my boyfriend is,) but I love gun names! Don't try to figure me out! LOL Anyway, he said Derringer didn't sound much like a girl's name, so her proper name is Miss Derringer;) This is her favorite spot to sit and stare at me. When it's not creepy, it's actually kind of cute. Happy Saturday! ♥

When I was small, my mom helped me pen a letter to the Easter Bunny. I wanted to know where he lived and how he dyed so many eggs every year. He replied back telling me that he lived on a farm, and he had lots of bunny friends that helped him paint the eggs. There were pretty pictures drawn all over the letter, and he signed it with a paw print. It was completely magical. And then somewhere along the way, my idea of the Easter Bunny turned into some Donny Darko nightmare! Ha ha! And with that being said, I hope you put all your candy away before the Easter Skelly came by! May the eggs left by Easter Skelly never hatch! However you celebrate, Happy Haunted Easter!

Happy Leap Year! I feel like there should be a movie about this day! "Groundhog's Day" got a movie, and I loved it! Maybe Leap Year should be a horror flick. Cue the scary announcer voice, "It only happens once every four years..."

Forgive my silence as I pour myself into the "Hanged Man" painting ♥ It is far from a traditional Hanged Man -- not a man and not hanging! LOL It is my most ambitious card yet! The crown jewel of the deck?! It's probably premature to say since the deck is in its infancy, but I definitely have a "divine vision" for this piece. As there is so much I want to do, I'm painting it 9x the size of the other paintings!!! Thank goodness they all shrink down to the same size in the end though! ♥

Other than that, I cannot wait to see THE LORAX!! There is a pouty little Lorax in my room that sits over my art desk and watches me paint:) I am so excited to watch his story on the 3D big screen! (Thanks for the movie passes, Ali!!) He's so cute I just want to *squee* until I faint! ♥♥♥

And when I'm not thinking about the Lorax, I'm busy trying to figure out how to get the jackalope to stop staring at me! Or at least tell me how I can meet Lenny Kravitz without getting slapped with a restraining order or ending up on the 5 o' clock news! LOL I was very jealous watching Chelsea Handler hug him a few nights ago! He's my boyfriend in some other timeline, in some other reality -- definitely in my head! Maybe I should have swallowed the blue pill... LOL

Okay, back to the land of signs and symbols....

XOXO!!

Cirque du Pooh Fan Art!

Since this was such a skelly-heavy day, just for fun, here is my fan art take on one of the most special characters in my life -- Winnie the Pooh!

"Cirque du Pooh" 3'x4' Acrylic on Stretched Canvas Painting


The wonderful Octo-Pooh carries his stuffed Piglet (complete with wings for the day pigs fly!) Christopher Robin walks along with his beehive balloon anxiously being trailed by heffalumps! All-seeing owl gathers a group around him as he tells the fotrunes of others -- eager Roo, regal Kanga, and rumpled Rabbit! Not to be overlooked are ringleader Tigger, always gloomy Eeyore, and jolly Gopher!

This bear and all of his friends own my heart!

XOXO!!
