I painted this little gray kitty for a very nice couple in Belgium last year, it actually was a Christmas present that was ordered for them. What do you know, I turned it into.....
a shirt for all the CAT CRAZY people out there. Actually, if I find that the cat products have a wide appeal, I will be doing more cat art that I can create fun, everyday items from.
With this design, don't ask me where the original photo is.....my husband Chris has his own wacky storage system for our photos. Sometimes I look and find things right away, other times, I might be sitting here 20 minutes and still haven't found it....I then give up in utter frustration. I spent about 10 minutes looking for this one tonight and then decided I could live without it for the moment...so here we are, without it.
Anyway, this cat and another sweet kitty were painted for a lady in CA, now here they are on a tee shirt and tote bag. I'll soon be adding these to my website but in the meantime, I'm adding them to my first ETSY site... http://www.artfulcreations.etsy.com/ .

Hi Ruth, You have been a busy lady with all the things you are making and painting. Your iris garden is just stunning. I only had a few iris and they were lost due to some renovation work. But seeing yours really makes me miss them. Do you plant them in the fall?
I am still in love with the foxglove seed packet painting. What a terrific idea to put it on tees and totes. You are going to be very busy... as for cats, if you haven't yet stumbled into the world of cat bloggers, now is the time to go looking. They are very serious abou their kitties and would love, I'm sure, to have one of your kitty things.
Blessings,
Christi
Ruth, thanks for the visit. I appreciate the link and have added you to my creative inspiration blogroll.
The Siamese cat on the tote bag reminds my kids of their auntie's cat, Ruby. Only they all agree that this one looks smarter! LOL
Ruth all your creations are wonderful. And I'm in love with your iris collection in the last post. Exquisite photos my friend!! xoxo
