I decided to return to my blog with a special post. We are having summer camps here in the Czech Republic, and my mother-in-law shared her testimony and an encouragement from the Bible last night to a group of our girl volunteers. Anxiety is something that a lot of us struggle with, and often it is hard to talk about it. It could be because we are embarrassed or uncomfortable to admit it, to share about it, and are worried about what people are going to think as to - why we actually struggle. I really appreciate talking openly about such things. So when my mother-in-law asked me if I could illustrate a specific Bible verse in a live-art session while she shares with the group, I was really excited and said yes. The meeting was very uplifting, and in the end, some of the girls started opening up to us. So I would like to share this illustration with you all as well. Feel free to print out and colour it in, or share with a friend. (However it is not meant for redistribution and if you ...

Hey everyone,    Here are just a couple of things for the start that I would like to share... Mr. Pug - 5x7 watercolor My cousin with her newborn son, Chris - 5x7 marker and coloring pencils cartoon Portrait of a horse - 11x14 dry pastels Painted shell - acrylics, sealed with a UV protective glossy varnish Chihuahua loves a cookie - 5x7 acrylics This is an older piece, but I love it! So leave me some comments, I would appreciate to know that you stopped by. Thanks : )

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! Sorry for not being around for such a long time. You might be wondering why I wasn't active on here AT ALL. Well, as some of you may know, my hubby and I lived in Florida last year. At the beginning of this past summer, we moved up to Delaware, and for four months lived at his parents' house and were working on renovating a small house that was offered to us for low rent (all this was such a blessing!). Now, we've been in our new home for a little over a week. It's been wonderful and so rewarding after all the hard work that had to be put into it. (I will share pictures with you soon!) So, not being able to unpack my art for four months, you can probably understand that it was quite difficult to just work. Now, slowly I am getting everything out off the boxes and looking forward to really get back into it all! (and also, I just really have to, because I am getting some wonderful Christmas orders and I don't want to keep my customers waiting). F...

Hi everyone, this summer has been so busy! We moved from Florida to Delaware, and we've been working on renovating this one house where we intend to live for the next couple of years :) And as you can imagine, being still jobless, and money still flowing out, it hasn't been easy and we kind of need help... :/ So if you like some of my new things and wouldn't mind helping through purchasing some of them - and even better, spreading the word - we would greatly appreciate it... Here are some of the things I am really into... Custom portraits of you and family or friends.. :) When you click, it will take you to my page where you can find out more about these deals.  Mini portraits are one of my little treats for you. Drawn pretty quickly (so that you can have them in one day when you order) and I will send them to your email. You can print them out, or you can post them on your facebook... As simple as that :) My Puppy series is still running! There are...

Hi, I am back with some samples of what I've been doing lately. As you probably already know, I love ACEOs and the whole concept of small art fascinates me. Here are some birds and some parrots. The rest you can find in my shop http://katehollart.etsy.com

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!!
