This is Mimi. She's been at the Denver Zoo for a long time. She is good natured and sweet. This an acrylic on canvas board 8"x8".
Meow! I mean grrr. It's time for Stella's Coffee House in Denver on South Pearl. I've been doing a Denver Zoo series. This is an acrylic on canvas 16"x24". It will hang about 6 weeks.
I learned to paint when I was eight. I picked up guitar when I was twelve. I was young when I had children and did not start any sort of career. I was bitten by the theatre bug in my early thirties. I've painted so many sets that it is difficult to count them all. Sets are not a permanent thing. They are much like the actors that play on them, transient in their importance. As soon as the show is over, then it is taken apart and destroyed. I had to quit my job at The Arvada Center in Colorado, when my back could not take it anymore. For the last five years I have been home mostly writing and painting paintings. It is what I dreamed about doing to make a go of it as a fine artist. There are moments when I truly feel that I am running in place.
