A FREE Offering to Jumpstart Your Creativity! Starts Tomorrow 10/13


Dear Reader

I want to begin by thanking so many of you who donated to help me rebuild my studio and recover from the losses incurred by Hurricane Helene's destruction of my River Arts District Studio. Together we have also helped The United Way of Buncombe-Asheville, Hearts and Hands in Swannanoa, Equal Plates, Aerial Rescue, RADA Artists Helene Recovery, Beloved Asheville and Brother Wolf Animal Rescue. I will be donating more as rebuilding continues. Thank you with all of my heart. If you did not get a chance yet to donate, you can still donate here or grab one of my 2025 Wall Calendars, oracle decks, or aprons (prints not available at this time due to water damage).

And, on a happier note, I want to share a fun, FREE event with you with starts tomorrow -- Sunday 10/13! Tomorrow we kick off The Shiny Squirrel Summit, - a way to jumpstart your creativity with lots of fun classes and inspiring speakers. I am one of the teachers in the summit, and I'm sharing a class on botanical painting & color harmony.

Lastly, for the first time ever, you can buy my greeting cards online! These are so pretty, and each bundle contains 5 different painting images with their titles on the back. I am also hoping to create more ornaments for the holidays!

With humble gratitude and love,

Cathy

Hello Reader, As Spring is flowers get ready to bloom after the long winter, it's hard not to feel a surge of hope -- like beauty is just around the corner. My daughter has been planting zinnias in pots this year (could it be a Mother's Day gift?! ), and every day she goes outside to look at how much they've grown. Right now they are just little sprouts with their tiny double-winged, telltale leaves. But, one day soon they will burst into color and bloom -- perhaps getting their first kisses...

Hello Reader, When your mind unwinds to carefree days, do you find yourself dreaming of "A Summer Place?" I know I do, and this new painting is inspired by the soft, golden light of summer evenings tinged with a touch of romance. It is part of my ongoing Vintage Vinyl series of paintings inspired by songs from 1940-1980, and this one takes its lead from The Theme from A Summer Place by Percy Faith. I hope it brings you a bit of joy today! Available now on my website. New Painting: A Summer...
