In the Studio

New paintings are in the works.  I don't usually show my art during this stage.  Things can get pretty ugly before they get pretty.  However, I cannot contain my excitement about this one.  It mixes realism (my old style) with my current abstract palette knife style.  Expect the final results in a few weeks!

Kitties Galore

If you happen to be in Washington DC and need some pet food, check out my friend Anna's awesome pet shop, Metro Mutts (www.metromuttsdc.com). My drawing of Romeo, their resident cat, is now hanging in the front window. If you are interested in commissioning me to draw your furry baby, all you need is a good photo. You can email me your photo. I will make a 8 x 10 inch pencil drawing, frame it, and ship it to you. Turnover time is about a month and the cost is $250, which includes shipping. Send me an email if you have any questions: katecicalese@comcast.net. Metro Mutts is located at 508 H St NE, Washington, DC 20002.
