Kat Corrigan: Paint!
- Jan 5, Another Commission! January, 2026This morning the dogs woke me up a half an hour earlier than I needed to get up. So I got up anyway. Over winter break, I'd let them out and feed them and go back to bed. Can't do that today! Time to get back to work!And speaking of work, I'm still working on […]

- FriYAY! Whew! December, 2025Sheesh! I haven't posted anything in a while because I've been a bit busy! You too? Got those holiday cards ready to send? Tree up? Guests coming over so house cleaning is underway? Are you working on your sabbatical proposal too?Of course, a lot of what I'm painting right now are commissions, so I can't […]
- Donkey Ears November, 2025yes I've been painting lots of things- otters, cats, dogs and DONKEYS.

So be prepared... there will be a few more of these!I love the length of […]

- Lil' Green Cup November, 2025This was a demo, maybe last week I think? For my painting class~ we were doing 10 minute paintings and talking about using limited brush strokes and I think that's what this was- Its a sweet little merimac teacup, a sage green with a creamy inside and the shape sometimes defies what your brain is […]

- Also not an otter... October, 2025"Come Have A Cup With Me!" This was a demo painting from my last painting class, and it was a push to my students to paint a simple still life BIG! Stacking the cups does make it a little more complicated, and I am pretty happy with how it turned out!That white cup just glows […]
- 10/23, Not an Otter... October, 2025Sorry, I haven't had the kind of time lately to get things done, and Max has a sore throat and a bit of a fever so I'm distracted, and he's also supposed to be doing tech for the Roosevelt School One Act plays this week! I'm trying to find a link- Here's the address- Roosevelt High […]
- 10/21 Otters Up! October, 2025This one has more muted and neutral colors than I usually use, and it is a funny size too, 10 3/4 inches by 4 3/4 inches, so it's a little under $100 bucks and I'm putting a hanging system on the back so it can hang immediately, cuz framing it might be pricey...I love the […]
- 10/18 Otterly Alert! October, 2025As we all are, sometimes, otterly alert to what's around us, what's happening, where we're afraid, where we find our joy... I hope you are finding some joy today, wherever you are! I took my mom to pick out new frames on Friday and it was a hoot! We both picked out new ones and […]
- 10/15 Water Babie October, 2025I don't know exactly why I need to spell BABIE this way, but for some reason, this otter painting requires it... if you know why, please let me know! This is a sea otter, not a river otter, and I love them just the same. They do lead very different lives from their river-dwelling cousins. […]
- 10/14, Otter Dinner October, 2025This is one I painted a while ago, and I didn't have time today to paint one yet! I love getting those colors on the water, light reflections against dark, pops of unexpected color... so fun!She's one of our sea otters at the Minnesota Zoo, out towards the Northern Trail. I have to get back […]
- 10/13 Otterly Grooming October, 2025Happy Indigenous People's Day! I love listening to the Current because they are so good at playing such a wide variety of music and they are taking advantage of today to play lots of great native pieces!This is an otter that I painted larger at one point, and so I did a tiny version so […]
- 10/9 Otter SIde-eye October, 2025I like this one! I've been really trying to catch the feel of the otters in their environment, underwater, and the color of the water is different from some of my favorite older otter paintings, where it's mostly greens and turquoises...(like this one, and this one)- water looks more lavender-grey, and I want it to look […]
- 10/8 Otter Glance October, 2025Here's anOTTER otter for you! This one was a bit trickier because the photo is blurry and stuff isn't as clear. I'm still pretty happy with it- those eyes- all that play, swooping and sliding and zipping around underwater- greens and blues and purples...Otters are amoong my fav subjects~ in case you hadn't noticed....6x6 acrylic […]
- 10/6 Water Lover October, 2025This is a favorite of mine, and any time I bring it along to an art fair or exhibit, people gravitate to it. I think it's because the otter is really looking at us, there's a sense of being seen by her, of the fact that she recognizes you are another living creature like her. […]
- 10/5 AnOTTER OTTER! "Otter Observer" October, 2025This otter was so happy to see us when we showed up at the zoo! It was just a bit after 9am and we didn't have a lot of time and I wanted some otter pics, so we hustled to the Minnesota Trail and there she was, flirting and floating and diving and just really […]
- 10/4/25 Otterly Available! October, 2025I have a few of these cute little triangle canvases so there will be a couple more otters painted this way because I like this format. This little guy just seems to be wanting to come up and say hi~ and to let you know he thinks you're pretty awesome!SO it looks like if I […]
