Lifting Paint

Posted on May 19, 2022 by dkatiepowellart

I’ve heard of lifting paint but never tried it. I didn’t like the looks of the heavy gouache on the nose of the Pinto Pony, and so I thought I’d give it a try. I carefully and gently used a … Continue reading →

Izzee the Climber

Posted on August 12, 2021 by dkatiepowellart

She is incorrigible… A climber, and as she is an indoor, and mostly in studio cat, she climbs the metal racks (scares the crap out of us) and then makes sure we see her. We’ve put kleenex boxes in all … Continue reading →

Posted on August 18, 2020 by dkatiepowellart

Posted on June 18, 2020 by dkatiepowellart

She is the little Squeak, the Squirt — the kitten who didn’t make it to foster care for a couple more days after her siblings were found, and so also, missed feedings and started life the runt. She’s not getting … Continue reading →

Posted on February 16, 2019 by dkatiepowellart

Posted on October 24, 2018 by dkatiepowellart

We fall in love with the energy of a soul in a photo. Tiny Fred began his story way up a tree in a neighborhood in Washington State. Boys playing heard his cries, and brought him to the grandparents. Nobody … Continue reading →
