I've been painting Sumi-e images for blank note cards - whimsical Fall subjects and holiday images too. Most have been posted on my Zazzle Nine Lives Studio [ http://www.zazzle.com/Nine_Lives_Studio* ] and on my Christmas Studio shop [http://www.zazzle.com/christmas_studio* ] as well as into my Fine Art America [http://ellen-miffitt.artistwebsites.com ] Sumi-e whimsical and Whimsical Holiday Cats galleries.
I will be shipping these cards to Shoreline Gallery and Bainbridge Arts & Crafts and dropping them off at Traditions in Olympia WA on Tuesday in time for holiday sales. Remember to buy local if possible and support the arts.
I have six different variations of this kitten playing with red Maple leaves.
What would spring, summer and fall in the Pacific Northwest be without slugs! Giant Black Slugs...

The squirrels use my fence as a highway... not sure why my cat, Lone Star, doesn't bother them. The Corgi, Sergeant Pepper, gets all riled up as they scamper on the fence.
Acorns are very bitter... I prefer a nice Blueberry Pie.
So that's just a few of the fifty new images that I've created lately and adhered to card stock..
Keeping Arting!
