Kat Corrigan: Paint!
- Nov 5, Viggo! November, 2026I just thought I'd put Viggo back up here, because as I mentioned earlier, I am working on a LOT of commissions and don't want to spoil anyone's holiday surprise by posting them too early, so I'll have to post already sold ones!I am working on some smaller pieces for a few holiday sales coming […]
- Nov 2, A Commission November, 2026Didja vote yet? Just checking!So I thought hmmm, I can't post the commissions I'm painting right now because they are for loved ones' gift for THIS holiday season and I hate to ruin a surprise by posting it all over the internet, so I said to myself what about the commissions from LAST year?See how […]
- Oct 30, Otterly Intent October, 2026I have painted this guy a few times now, just because I love that face so much! And it's that wonderful problem of how do you suggest enough information so the viewer can see what you want them to see? How do you tell them the story of what you see when YOU look at […]
- Oct 29, Paint Pens Play to "Petulant Pom Pom" October, 2026I took an online class last night through Blick- it was a Zoom and the artist is Ryan Martin and he was knowledgeable and charming and in San Francisco, and Blick had sent us the kits ahead of time except I couldn't find the panel they'd sent so I used one of mine-It was fun […]
- Oct 28, Another commission! October, 2026So I figured I'd pop a commission in here because I'm not sure that many people are looking at my work on-line anyway and I do believe this person knows it is being painted for them...It is nearly the end of October and in my family that means we are up to our necks in […]
- Oct 27, More 10 minute paintings! October, 2026Just because I'm working on a few commissions and I'm gonna have to wait to post them til after they've been gifted!And I'm also working on new stuff for the upcoming holiday sales! I dropped stuff off at the Minnetonka Center for the Arts last week- you can drop by there any time for their […]
- Oct 26, Another Otter October, 2026It's that curve their bodies make, the "I am one with the water, the water is one with me" sense of their movements, the smooth fluid poetry of their soul~I love otters~6x12 acrylic on wood$165click here for purchase info~
- Oct 25, Floater October, 2026I have to admit I'm not the most creative with my titles, and if you can think of a better one, let me know!This is painted from a photo Duane took (standing right next to me, mind) when we went to the Mn Zoo a week ago Friday- somehow he always takes better photos than […]

- Oct 19, A Completed Commission! October, 2026Sometimes it takes a few goes before both I and my client are satisfied with a painting. I want to make sure they are getting what they are hoping to see, and there are parts of a photo that may not register with me as being important, like the shape of a patch of white […]
- Oct 13, Morning Juice October, 2026I had planned on painting an otter a day for OTTER-tober.... but that hasn't happened so far, because I'm a bit busier than expected, which is strange because I'm always busy so why didn't I expect that? Hmm... this getting older and wiser part ain't for sissys....SO this is an orange I painted in my […]
- 9/30 more 10 minute pets! September, 2026Yes, there were more!And now is a good time to actually commission me to paint YOU pet if you'd like one for gift giving for the holidays!This lovely wet weather we are experiencing in Minnesota feels so great right now, so cozy and inward-turning, it's a great time to be painting- my October session is […]
- 9/28 10 Minute Pets! September, 2026This Saturday morning I sat in the drizzle with my lovely friend and amazing artist Lara Johnson and we drew and painted people's pets as they brought them up to us after their Blessing! This is a tradition at our school during the Homecoming shenanigans and I really love it!Here's one of the first ones […]
- The Ugly Duckling Makes Waves September, 2026I am just so enchanted by these babies and their fuzzy earnestness as they paddle through the green ripples and dark shallows... using such a variety of warm and cool neutral colors, placing the brush strokes in just the right place to suggest that little baby wing, that delicate webbed foot just under the surface...I […]
- And an Ugly Duckling! "Back Paddle" September, 2026This is a piece I've been working on this week from a photo my sister in Geneva sent of the swans in lake Geneva this spring...Water and birds, what a great combo! And the colors, and lines... these are fun! There's a few more coming out from Kel's photos, and you can come see them […]
- More pup Commissions! September, 2026This one was such a fun one to paint!Oh but I DO say that about a lot of them... okay, so THIS one is fun because the faces were not quite so close in the photo and I got to play with them a bit to move them closer, and I am really happy with […]
- Sep 9, Another close up! September, 2026Have you ever read The Four Agreements? I've found myself thinking and remembering those 4 basic ways of looking at the world... because sometimes when it feels things are spinning off faster than you can understand them, you need some way of viewing the world, a lens to look through. And these have always helped […]
- Sept 8, another close up! September, 2026It's a week in to school, I'm sometimes feeling like I know what I'm doing, and then something else comes at me and I am discombobulated again....Dang- so I sit and paint sweet loving companion animals, and that makes me feel better.Hope they make you feel better too~4 inches by 4 inches about, and sold~

- August 28, Three Cuties on a couch! September, 2026Here is a commission I'm working on- because I want you to know that I am painting! It's been a busy week, back to school workshops and the kids come on Monday but I still need to PAINT! This one is a bit tricky because of lighting and because the panel is small, 6x12, so […]
