I left it on the easel for days, working a bit here, a bit there, but never feeling like I was capturing the visual story that was trying to come out. With my animal pastels I’ve always painted the subject’s aura, so yesterday I thought, “well, let’s try it with this”. After I painted the building’s aura I realized it wasn’t a barn - it was a church. I added the cross, added its aura, and realized immediately what the title of the painting should be. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfee654d186ae0001b76e16/1563481927108-4009UG7EPM0S2V3EOY2I/lucy.jpg portfolio - "Christmas Cat" This is Lucy, my daughter’s rescue cat. Lucy is about 8 years old. Her original owners didn’t want her after the found out they were having a baby so they put Lucy on Craig’s List to get rid of her. Since she was declawed, she had to be an inside cat. Fortunately for Lucy, my youngest - a cat lover fanatic - adopted this sweetie and gave her the BEST home. Lucy is spoiled rotten, and she loves to hide in Christmas trees. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfee654d186ae0001b76e16/1564177637279-E8WS4TMOX46D1LGUCCX6/TTimesPic.jpg portfolio - Highland Books Event I love speaking events at bookstores, especially independent bookstores which are, unfortunately, becoming a vanishing breed. Tomorrow, I will have the pleasure of sharing the stage with a fellow author, Darryl Bollinger, who writes medical mysteries. I think Darryl and I make a great speaking combo - I write legal thrillers and he writes medical thrillers. Although, to be perfectly honest, the Allison Parker Mysteries are a whole lot more than just a “legal” thriller. We are being hosted by Highland Books in Brevard, North Carolina. The owners of this store are wonderful and are great supporters of local authors. This will be my third or fourth event there, and I am really looking forward to it. If you’re near, I hope to see you there. If you’re too far away to attend, you can find my books on Amazon and at other select independent bookstores. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfee654d186ae0001b76e16/1564362631381-I8AF0735A9IEH4YK9YUQ/HBJuly20194.jpg portfolio - Highland Books Two mystery writers for the price of one!
