Kat Corrigan: Paint!
- 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, 2026Yes, I thought I'd post the one I'm working on right now- it's Rusty, the dog of my teenage-dom... when I got my own room, in the basement, the former play-room, and when I learned to drive, and when I'd want to go for walks I had someone to take along, though Rusty was better […]

- July 30, Old Cutie Kirby! July, 2026Yup, I just liked this one so much, I had to paint him.
