They are both amazing musicians and keep getting better and better!
Self-care is so important.
Thanks so much!
Thanks, Cara!
Beautiful!
Thank you so much!
I realized I forgot to post this here. Anyway, this is a portrait I was commissioned to paint for a holiday gift. Piper lives in Chicago with her family which is why she has the Chicago Cubs logo around her neck. The fur on her face was really fun to paint!

Painting with orange cats in a moss-covered tree and in the grass, looking up at a starry night sky with a cat constellation.
Here’s my first painting of 2025 that I just finished for Cactus Gallery’s next show Those Darn Cats. This is called “The Orange Cat Contingent Goes Stargazing”. The show opens online January 18, and you can contact sandra@cactusgalleryla.com for the pre-sale passcode, questions and layaway info.
Wow!
This painting is called “Daisy” and it’s a piece I made a while back that is still looking for an adopter and is on sale now through Cactus Gallery. This cat’s eyes were particularly fun to paint with all those shades of green. tinyurl.com/michellewatersdaisy
