This is a little linocut for Illustration Friday, done on one of my favorite Japanese papers. The paper is so beautiful, I can't really take credit. I call this cats on mats!
If you've been to my blog before, you may have noticed that I just changed the background from white to a close-up of one of my paintings. I've tried to alter the template of my site here before and never succeeded. I'm not sure if I like the effect, or if it's too busy, but after 2 hours of fiddling with the HTML code, I think I'll leave it for a little while! Soon I hope to tackle updating the header. Hopefully this won't be quite so difficult!

It's the labour day week-end. A time I used to dread when I was little because it meant the end of freedom. It also meant a new beginning. The start of a new school year always seemed more like the start of a new year than January 1st. This year I hope to be spending more time doing art and blogging about it! Life sometimes gets better when you get older! To start this fall year off, I spent sometime toodling around the country side looking at the scenery and gathering ideas. I saw a nice beach and had a tasty lunch, but I won't bore you with that. It's the quirky things that I love to find and collect with my camera (cheaper than buying them!) These are a few of my quirky finds!
