June - Mowing 627
encaustic mixed media on birch 8x10 |
When I was a little girl, my Dad and I had a game. He was an artist and painted Northwest scenery, landscapes, boats, seascapes and the like. But, in almost every painting, he hid a cat for me. Somewhere, somehow, there was a wee kitty hiding in the foreground, sky or wherever it could be. It was my job to find it. So, in this rather large painting of June - there are two kitties (
here is the other one) painted in with love - just for my Dad.
Almost to the end of June. You can catch up with the painting a day in June project -
HERE. Happy Friday everyone!!
Here is JUNE in it's entirety - just a few more to go
