This is Tuxasaurus (AKA "Tux"), my new studio assistant! He is approximately 9 months old and full of unadulterated love. I fully expect for him to be a nightmare when I am painting but I would rather have a nightmare than nothing at all. And so it begins... . . . . #Tux, #Tuxasaurus #thetuxenator #naughtykitty, #catloversclub, #crazycatladyclub, #crazycatlady, #crazycatladyforlife, #crazycatladyproblems, #cutecatclub, #Catloaf, #instacatsgram, #Instacat_meow, #Instacatsgram, #Instacat_meows, #Instapetsgram, #katwarrenart, #kittycatlove, #Meowmeow, #studiocat (at Aquia Harbour, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx-nHwogQ3h/?igshid=15xkvcw7faoza

You know that moment when you see something and think, "aww, nasty... I kinda wanna try it..." You instead are chicken shit and contemplate buying it for your husband because he'll eat anything... . . . . #adultsupervision #funfinds #tuesdaytreat #chickenshit #umno (at ALDI USA) https://www.instagram.com/p/BocYKDMnLKH/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=uformrn8wnp1

Last night, the husband found this 'happy little coffee mug' for me! "When the MUG is COLD, it's just YOU and BOB ROSS, ready to paint..." Hell. Yeah. . . . . #bobross #coffeemug #coffeelover #bobrossisgod #sundayfunday #happylittleaccidents #artislife #artistlife #katwarrenart (at Aquia Harbour, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BoXB1nRnaOd/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=bwyuve6ee4jx

I never thought that I was a terribly crafty gal, in life or in my studio, but I found myself 'crafting' this week with @chalkntrash! Here's my papier mache pumpkin, decorated with paper clay embellishments, painted with chalk paint, and waxed for a smooth finish. Happy Fall, y'all! . . . . #artistlife #papermache #papiermache #chalkntrash #crafting #pumpkins #happyfall #katwarrenart (at Aquia Harbour, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BoUMXZdH8yF/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1kxgnzuc903uc

I hadn't been able to paint these last couple of days, my mind was not in the right place. Today, I have a little Black Sabbath on in the background and she is coming along quite nicely... I'm thinking about some little pearl studs because every young lady deserves pearls. . . . . #wip #insidethestudio #blacksabbath #sabbath #portraitpainting #instastudio #instacolor #colorcrush #londynrising #katwarrenart #Liquitex #liquitex_worldwide (at Aquia Harbour, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BoNAtUPn_Pa/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=vra1mbcs5fkb

Latest work in progress - a commission portrait of a collector's young daughter. The interesting part of the process will be how I work into her afro the words of inspiration her mother wants for her to live her life by. I knew the title before I had even began - her name is Londyn, so this shall be named "Londyn Rising". Still more work too be done and I am excited to see where she takes me... . . . . #wip #contemporary #contemporaryart #portraitpainting #instastudio #instapainting #paintingoftheday #storytelling #artislife #artistlife #amotherslove #strenth #beauty #love #Liquitex #katwarrenart (at Aquia Harbour, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnpyfTPHDpm/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=8zxqwelkjs0z

I would like to nominate my neighbor as the best gift giver, EVER! Two of my favorite things - cats and wine. I plan to keep the bottle so I can melt long candles and hex people... or something... I am contemplating getting a thank you gift for the thank you gift but where would it end? 🤔 . . . . #thankyougifts #giddy #giggles #voodooqueenwannabe #crazycatlady #youhadmeatwine #fancypants #myneighboriscoolerthanyours (at Aquia Harbour, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnM8uBDjH6J/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1m0xam9b8lejw

Old school pic of me visualizing my future as the coolest lady in the world. Little did I know, my future would not include knee high boots due to my shapely man calves. I'm OK with being a 'WONDERful woman' because I'm kind of a little bad ass. . . . . #wonderwoman #ww84 #gal_gadot #mswarrior (at Aquia Harbour, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnMdmd0DLpA/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ilk85z8y6xbe

My latest work in progress has been a true labor of love and I am starting to feel that the end is close. It's been a test of my patience and focus too tell her story. We have had our ups and downs but I think that we are finally on the same page.

"Excuse me", as I stop in the middle of a busy walkway to take pictures of the happiest flowers I have seen in a good long while... An explosion of juicy bright colors packed in too a teeny tiny area. I am quickly distracted and feel a bit like the dog in 'Up' yelling "SQUIRREL!" . . . #colorsplash #colorcrush #artistissues #artistlife #artislife #artinnature #flowers #natureisart #Upmademecry #squirrel #juicycolor (at Sentara Northern Virginia Medical Center)
