Watercolors, Illustrations, ACEOs, lots of Czech and English language, lots of energy at home and major lack of sleep. How can all of that exist together! This has been one serious week! ART: I continued The Girl and her Cat series and got as far as 5 illustrations. (showing the 5th one here. For the other ones, check out  this post ) After that, I needed a little break, but I will get back to it and create more pieces. I took one morning to get back to one of my favorite styles, which is pure line art, and drew a Spring-inspired portrait! And I really do love this!  (I love this style so much that I actually created a whole coloring book last year and if you like coloring and you are a mother or have a mother or a mother friend, this book is for you! It also has a section of encouraging Bible verses. It's called Treasure of the Heart and you should check it out!) ;) Then yesterday I thought, wow, I haven't painted any ACEOs in a really long time! A...

Hi everyone!  After my last post , I am happy to share with you this emerging series about a little girl and her pet cat. This has been so much fun! Even though there isn't a written story behind it, these are inspired by my own childhood that was truly filled with lots of fun adventures with pets. Making time to sit down and paint wasn't always that easy this week though.  With kids being done with sickness and going back to kindergarten, then getting sick again, and my husband's dad flying in from the US to spend several days with us, it has really been something. How has your week been? How much time were able to give to art? Did you post about it anywhere where I could see? Let me know! Why this series There were a couple reasons behind this series.  1. It's easy to paint because it's connected to fun memories. And this girl is the kind of a character that I happen to draw a lot, and even though she doesn't look completely like me when I was a ki...

Welcome back!  I recently restarted my  Youtube channel  and doing an art series has been real fun. And I decided to do selfies because that gives me enough freedom to pick the pose, the expression, the lighting... and to make it more interesting, I am using different mediums and techniques. I record as I draw and then share them as fun speed-drawing videos. Here are the portraits I've done so far.  Congratulations! You've made it through! But really, thank you for coming and checking this all out!

With the warmest greetings possible at this time in March, Kate

Hi everyone, it's been forever since I've participated in just about anything. It was very busy with moving from Florida to Delaware and then finding and preparing our new place. I can say though - God's been great and His blessings are endless. So here I am, posting from our new house and I feel trully, trully blessed. This is for  http://paintpartyfriday.blogspot.com And I'm going to share with you my ornaments, there are done to order and it's been a lot of fun, and a lot of hard work. Enjoy! I hope you like them (and if intereted in having your own, sure contact me on Kate(dot)art(at)live.com) Have a great weekend!

Hi everyone, thanks for coming to see these! I missed the last (and the first) Paint Party Friday  and I was really sad about it cause I was looking forward A LOT. Well, I am glad that I made it for this friday, although I am like THE LAST on the list. oh well... hopefully someone will still come visit :) In the last months I've had an idea to paint scenes from my country (the Czech republic), but since landscapes and building were always a challenge for me, I didn't really know what format I should go for and what medium to use. And then I finally got it! ACEO! Watercolor and Acrylics... why not :) I enjoy painting little things so much and figured that it could ease it up for me with such challenging themes. Well, I simply want to share the beauties of my home country, because I myself adore them. So here are first three. Hope you will like them!!
