I am excited about this project and the challenge it offers. I have not quite figured out how to do a painting on a 4″x4″ canvas, but I will. Pretty soon.
Please let me know if you are planning to participate. I would love to hear your thoughts about it.

We are all winners
First, before anything else, I want to thank Lisa Swifka, lifelong artist and the energy and brains behind One World One Heart. Only a very amazing woman could come up with such a grand idea and make it so special for all who joined in. We are all winners because of Lisa, of A Whimsical Bohemian.
On my magic blog ride around the world, I discovered many blogs I would not have found on my own. I received enough wonderful supportive comments to keep me excited about painting for a very long time. The bloggers I visited are inspiring, talented, giving and awesomely talented. What a beautiful community it is!
(drumroll please) And the winners are…
Cathey from Pumpkind Patch and Co won the custom pet portrait prize.
Cathey won a custom watercolor portrait of her dog, Brie
Holly Louen from Tuscan Road won a selection of 24 greeting and note cards.
Prints of cats, dogs, a horse and a fennec fox!
Thank you everyone for leaving comments and introducing yourselves. Over 800 bloggers participated and I am now looking forward to visiting each one.

WikiJewels has created a beautiful collection of calico cats on ArtFire and my painting of kitty cat Hillary is featured! View the entire collection to see the fabulous felines. Hillary is on the bottom left of the collection exhibit.
This is just another fine example of the wonderful artists at ArtFire and also the terrific support ArtFire gives to their artists.
By the way, if you want an online studio, ArtFire is great! Give them a look. They give you all sorts of help along the way.
Happy Birthday, Petfinder
