Velcro, My Cat

Velcro, My Cat_____6x6 oil on linen panel___$150

I painted this mostly from memory, after a few annoyed glances from Velcro. He figured out that I was making"kissy noises" at him for no good reason (to him!), so he turned his back and ignored me the rest of the time. This doesn't really look like him, but that's his fault...Velcro came with us from the farm. He had a twin brother named Duster, who disappeared a few months ago...it broke all our hearts...They were sleeping pals and stayed together 100% of the time. Now we have skunks hibernating in the garage, so velcro has been sleeping in the house...

Had a couple cancellations in my Fredericksburg, TX workshop! Feb 5-7, 2010. Come if you can! It will be three FULL DAYS of sketching, and grabbing color! e-mail me if you need info vvaughan8@yahoo.com

Face Forward__6x8 oil on linen__for Southeastern Wildlife Exposition, Charleston, SC
...Unless you want it first! Just let me know!...His name is Nemo, and is belongs to a friend of mine. I have been on a "Nemo kick" lately, so expect a couple more paintings of him this week ...In a few weeks I will be in Charleston for Southeastern Wildlife Exposition, the best Wildlife Show in America. Lots of great art and world renown artists. Also there are special presentations and exhibits. Jack Hannah will be there again this year. Please come see me at the Charleston Place Hotel on Meeting Street....I will introduce you to some of these great artists!
Before then, though, I will teach a short but intense workshop in Fredericksburg, TX. Feb 5-7. And, FYI, tomorrow in Fredericksburg, the weather will be AMAZING! It will get up to 75 with bright warm sunshine!
I have ordered the SAME weather for Feb 5-7, complete with colorful sunrises and sunsets and a FULL MOON! e-mail me if you want to come! vvaughan8@yahoo.com
